Were you planning to sit here, hu-dad?

Horse Apples
For those of you who think horse apples grow on trees, stop reading right now. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
Monday seemed to be the perfect day to share this post - one of the great challenges of living in an area with lots of horses - Horse Apples.
Particularly when certain dogs find the smell and, er, flavor irresistible.
Can you believe the hu-dad makes us go around these delicacies?
Jeep Ruff’n Tough Man Dog Toy
A package arrived in the mail with a special present. As our readers know, our limousine is a Jeep Wrangler and our hu-dad loves driving it (and we love riding around in it). So a friend found the perfect present:
Jeep Ruff'n Tough Man Dog Toy
The advertisement we found for it read, “This is one tough toy for tough little Jeep dogs. This toy is fun for games of fetch, keep-away, or tug-of-war. Even puppy teeth will have trouble tearing through this guy.” We really liked the bullet points that cited such things as “Extra Strong Construction,” “Built to Last,” and “Provides Hours of Exercise and Play.” So let’s see how that worked out. Our tester was Frankie.
Elapsed time - 45 seconds.
Jeep man seems to have developed a slight “foot explosion” problem. Frankie says it is not really a big deal. He still has his favorite chew toy:
A Cheesewhize Chew Toy.
Frankie says you can chew on her for hours.
Intensity
Our weather continues to be unseasonably warm. In fact, we still have not had any measurable snow fall, very late compared to any year we can remember. But the gorgeous weather (well, not gorgeous by Siberian standards, but the humans seem to like it) sure makes for a terrific long weekend. We were running errands and the hu-dad was giving us a water break when Natasha went in to her “I want that right now” stare.
Intensity
That stare is very hard to ignore and she did not move at all despite the offers of water, the hu-dad getting out his camera, and the hu-dad taking pictures of her. So what had her attention? The easiest way to figure that out is to use her ears to line up the scene.
Using the ears as a target finder.
Can you see it? The object of her focus? Well, let’s zoom in a little and see if we can figure things out.
Bullseye. Or is that Catseye?
Somehow, we do not think that Natasha has the “Zim-like” qualities of, well, Zim. But the cat sure seemed to understand that The Herd was safely seat belted into the Jeep.
Post-Thanksgiving Dinner Activities
We are betting a whole lot of households in the US looked something like this yesterday afternoon,.
Everyone trying really hard not to move.
All that turkey and dressing and . . .
I can't believe I ate the whole thing.
Happy Thanksgiving
Hope all of our US friends have the Happiest of Thanksgivings. During all of your feasts during the day, pause for a few moments and give thanks for all of the good things in our lives.
Frankie says he is thankful to have a big brother - even if he is a little weird sometimes.
Ready for a Long Weekend
Come on, hu-dad, we have a four day weekend of adventures in front of us!
For all of our US readers, travel safe this weekend and have a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Muddy Paws
Some pup, who likes to stand on the console in the Jeep beside the driver, apparently had muddy paws.
We could not find any witnesses to this event.
No witnesses. Got it?
Non-cooperative Monday
So you simply want me to look at the camera?
What if I don't want to cooperate with a photo shoot?
Oooooh - water drops.
Today’s photo shoot has been canceled due to a non-cooperative Cheesewhiz.
