There is Always One

December 7, 2008 |

Here we are – all five of us marching down the trail: Wait?  Five?  Kiska looks for the missing wonder. There is Rusty, off to the side and doing his own thing. There is always one, and it is usually the Rooster.

Fall Friday

December 5, 2008 |

As you may remember in this, this and this previous post, we showed you the view from our porch until the fall fogs settled in and then the first snow fell.  Well, I was standing out on the porch this morning and realized that it is, technically, still fall so thought I would share a…

Faster Than a Speeding Bullet

December 4, 2008 |

I would love to claim that I was trying to get this effect for the picture, but I must blame low light, slow shutter speed, and dogs in a hurry:

Breedism

December 3, 2008 |

Ok, now we are mad. No, not about the snow.  We love the snow.  We have snow up to our fuzzy, errr, tails and we are having a blast.  We are delirious about the snow.  We are running everywhere in the snow.  We are digging in the snow.  Even “I don’t like to be cold…

Rainy Weekend

December 1, 2008 |

Yep, pretty rainy weekend, but that never deters the Herd.  Always up for their walks: And for those of you amused with the way Rusty walks behind humans, be aware he does it to the canines as well:

Rusty Clowning Around

November 28, 2008 |

Our friend Dannan commented that he did not know of a Siberian that gets cold. Well, Rusty would be the one.  He absolutely loves the snow, but hates the cold.  He will burrow under blankets and even is known to pull a blanket over him when he is sleeping.  And, best of all, on cold…

Short Work Weeks

November 26, 2008 |

We have really whiny humans.  You see, they took Thursday and Friday off last week and took us to the beach.  And this week, they also get Thursday and Friday off because of Thanksgiving.  So where is the complaint?  They say they have to work so hard this Monday through Wednesday to make up for…

And Now for Something Completely Different

November 21, 2008 |

With our apologies to Monty Python for the title of this blog: Yes, that is sunrise over the beach.  Myrtle Beach SC.  The Herd was totally confused since we have snow on the ground at home, but we took off to the beach for a long weekend.  And here is the cool part.  The Herd…

Shadow and Skyler

November 18, 2008 |

Hello to Shadow and Skyler of Nashville, TN – two beautiful Siberian friends.  And how do I know them? In order to keep The Herd well fed, with couches and beds to lay on, and vet bills paid, I have to work.  And my work requires me to travel.  Monday morning, I was getting onto…

Corneal Infiltrates

November 16, 2008 |

Sorry for the technical title, but, during Natasha’s vet visit on Friday, we identified that she has Bi-Lateral (i.e., both eyes) Corneal Infiltrates (essentially the build up of fatty material in the cornea).  This is somewhat common in Siberian Huskies, but usually something detected when they are younger, not 5 1/2 years old like Natasha. When my vet…
