Can you see who has the best Observation Post over at The Herd Annex (the hu-grandmom’s house)?
Let’s zoom in with the camera and see who is hanging out below.
Shhhhh, hu-dad, you will give away my spot.

Come with us as we hike with some new friends!
Combining hiking with meeting new canine friends makes for a perfect Saturday morning! Our veterinarians office, Animal Hospital of Waynesville, sponsored a Saturday morning hike for clients at Graveyard Fields.
Graveyard Fields is a valley with the stream Yellowstone Prong flowing through its center, creating water falls both at the upper end of the valley and the lower end (named, creatively enough, Upper Falls and Lower Falls. With the valley floor still above a 5,000 foot elevation, the air is usually cool and perfect for hiking. This is an excellent area for early and late season hikes, though we avoid it during the summer tourism season because of the crowds.
Come meet some of our new friends:
The official smallest hiker (and, yes, those are Frankie ears in the foreground).
And our biggest hiker!
An official sentry to keep us safe.
And what is he watching so intently?
The younger and bouncier version of himself, of course. (Appropriately named River, by the way).
Yes, we all had fun playing in the water.
We even had somepup who looked a lot like us (complete with the mud on the nose).
But, he did win cute photo of the day!
P.S. – Plans are being drafted for another hike, so we look forward to seeing these friends again – and meeting some new ones on the next hike.

Yesterday, was the first weekend day in a couple of weeks that was dry enough to go hiking, so we hit the trails. Do you think Cheoah was happy with that? Don’t forget that Cheoah is the Cherokee word for Otter. That might explain a few things.
Good thing it isn’t raining, or I might get wet.
Because rain water is totally different than river water.
Besides, you humans were the ones who named me “Otter.”
Dog Logic. Keep up.

Oh, my, we appear to have had a major fur explosion.
The fur carnage is everywhere
Don’t worry, no puppies were hurt in the making of this blog post.
Though somepup did a lot of wailing and crying during the plucking.

Come join us on the Saturday Pet Blogger Hop and meet some new friends.

Frankie is laying quietly in the den floor.
On the couch, a certain young troublemaker is waking up
Typhoon appears to be plotting his next move
Ah-ha! I know what I will do!
Why, there is my big brother being all peaceful and good.
Puppy pounce in 3 – 2 – 1 . . .
Cheoah can’t bear to watch.

Hey, hu-dad, I have a new edict to issue
Just wanted you to know that I am as tired of all of this rain as the youngsters.
So there is only one thing I can do about it.
Wake me when the sun comes out.

Hey, hu-dad! Will it ever stop raining?
You are in charge of these things, right?

Rainy days create lots of fun. Like when hu-dad, in his ever stylish sleepy pants, sat down in the floor to give Cheoah a little attention. The “hu-dad in the floor alarm” was sounded and Cheoah was no longer alone. The ending result was a puppy pile.
Really, this is love.

It has been raining steadily here since Friday and, unfortunately, is expected to continue into Tuesday. Let’s just say a lot of us are eager for a break in the weather so we can get outside.
I keep looking for a break in the rain.
What do you mean, hu-dad, that you will be so glad when some of us can go outside and burn off some energy?

Once again, we have a cold, rainy weekend. The high all day was 43F, the fog was thick, and we had a drizzly rain. So what is the best way to spend such a day?
Napping on top of the hu-dad in front of the fireplace.
P.S. – No we can not explain the furry blanket that hu-dad is under, but it is comfortable.
