October 20, 2009 |

Rusty – Want to see the close up of this pickle nose? Still closer? An inch away from nose print on the camera, bud! Cheoah – You really think two can’t play this game? Check out the blue dot in the eye.  Cool, huh?

Sort of, Kind of Snow

October 19, 2009 |

From our front porch – the mountain range looks frosty The ridge tops were glistened Even the edges of our dog yard got a dusting of snow But as our buddy Bricey of many nicknames said, there is barely enough to snooter So Cheoah improvised with her patented slide Making sure both sides were covered…

This Does Not Count

October 17, 2009 |

Long Hikes and Sleepy Pups

October 12, 2009 |

As we expected, Sunday was really nice around here.  The sun was out for the most part, no rain, and the leaves are really peaking at the 4000′-5000′ altitudes.  But all of that hiking does have an effect on The Herd. The colors looking down from over 6000′ – you can see it peaks about…

Rainy, Foggy Saturday

October 11, 2009 |

Yesterday was rainy and foggy.  The dogs asked that we changed the weather, but we failed.  So guess what we did all day? Wild Dingo had it right in yesterday’s comments, “Um, helloooooo….you’re HUSKIES! you can take the cold weather and a little rain! my gosh… suck it up kiddo’s and MAKE your human wear…
