Just waiting on you, hu-dad, to start the weekend.

Rusty - Hey, hu-dad! We are ready to go on a weekend adventure! (Note that the hu-dad left his funny hat on the dashboard).

For those who wonder how 6 Siberian Huskies fit in a Jeep Wranger.

The hu-dad had some work to do in our field (notice the bale of wheat straw on top of the Jeep – that is the last of them), so we got to go along for the ride. Good for us that we got to park under our tree while he worked. That made it much nicer to watch him sweat.
Way to work, hu-dad!

Hu-dad here. Sometimes you get the picture that you were meant to get, not the one you wanted. Such was the case Sunday evening. We were out far from other people and I was going to take a few pictures of The Herd. Suddenly, they all focused on something behind me. Really, really focused.
Is there something behind me?
But no matter how much I looked, I could not figure out what had their attention. But they sure kept staring. Even as I moved around the Jeep so my back was no longer to whatever was out there. The Herd just kept staring.
Even as I moved around the Jeep, they kept focused.
No, I do not know what they saw, smelled, or heard. Turkey? Deer? Bear? Bobcat? I will never know; I only know they were very, very interested.

Yesterday’s pictures showed us hiking in a little rain. To answer the question asked a few times, no it did not start raining about halfway into our hike. It was raining when we started. Shrug. A little weather does not slow us down. Well, except for heat. That we don’t like.
So after our hiking in the rain, we get back to the Jeep. Oh, did we forget to put the windows in the Jeep? We never seem to have those windows in.
Kiska smiles - even if she is sporting the wet look.
That wooly coat always looks good after a soaking.
Qannik may not look as happy, but that is mainly because he wanted to keep hiking and not get into the Jeep.

Woo - look what is coming up.
A long, one lane, wooden bridge.
Keep an eye on the edge, hu-dad.

Sigh. Left in the car - AGAIN.
The hu-dad says we have run pictures like the above way too many times. The humans stop and have pizza and beer, or BBQ and beer, or Mexican food and beer – well, you get the picture – and leave us starving puppies out in the car. For some reason, the hu-dad thinks that is an unfair characterization of what happens. He said far more likely is that while he is getting food, we are being disloyal and sharing our Siberianess with passers-by like this -
More admirers.
But do any of them have food? Are they feeding us? So go ahead and take your pictures while you sip your beer and eat pizza, hu-dad, but this should not alleviate your guilt.

Saturdays are our day - hiking and enjoying the outdoors.
The Herd is loaded in the Jeep.
Rusty "Joe Cool" Rooster says, "Let's go!"

We were just quietly sitting in a parking lot minding our own business.
When a car parked beside us and a very curious - and vocal - neighbor made his presence known.
Well, more than one vocal neighbor.
Natasha led the way, but the Entire Herd leaned out of the Jeep to make their acquaintance.
Whoa! Maybe barking is not the best idea.
P.S. – Have no fear. The temperature was around 25F (-4C), so the dogs in the neighboring car were not in any danger (and their humans were just a few feet away). Oh, and The Herd wears seat belts, so there was no escaping the Jeep.
