Finally, a post from our cousins at The Herd Annex – across the valley at the hu-grandmom’s house. Hu-dad visited with the camera, but apparently they feel they are being stalked for different reasons.

Monitoring kitchen

This may look like Ruby is just casually monitoring activities in the kitchen.

Corner

But look carefully (you can click to enlarge) and you will notice that Ruby is watching the hu-dad out of the corner of her eye.

nervous Tartok

Even Tartok is looking a little nervous.

monitoring

And why is The Herd Annex monitoring the hu-dad so carefully?

trimming

Because the hu-dad keeps muttering something about trimming paw hair.

We continue our pictures from this past weekend’s RV adventure. Today, we focus on The Herd Annex, Ruby and Tartok, waiting for The Herd to get ready for a walk. Let’s just say getting two ready to go is easier than six.

Disgusted look

Sigh. Waiting on that Herd family to go for a walk again.

Tartok waiting

Come on, Herd, we are ready to go!

Sigh

Face it, Tartok, we at The Herd Annex are much more organized than them.

Tartok

How can they be this slow?

Ruby laying

I think I will just spend my waiting time comfortably.

Pardon the week of camping pictures, but we have a lot of photographs from our weekend and want to share them. Besides, you know how the week goes. Humans feed us breakfast, go earn more kibble, and come home and feed us dinner. It’s perfect, but not very photogenic.

Since the Herd Annex (the hu-grandmom’s dogs Ruby and Tartok) joined us for the weekend, we present Ruby Tuesday – Camping Style:

Herd walking

Yes, Ruby and Tartok joined The Herd on their camping trip (Frankie and Typhoon never quite joined the picture).

Cousins walking

And camping with the cousins always means lots and lots of walking time.

Trippy Trapp bridge

We even walked across some trippy-trapp bridges.

Camping

And we spent a lot of time napping, er, guarding our camping area.

Screen door

Of course, Ruby was also partial to her sentry spot from inside the RV.

Ruby at camp site

Ruby here. The last two Tuesdays have been holidays, so Ruby Tuesday was pre-empted.

Tartok

Tartok and I wanted you to know that The Herd Annex was at the beach in the campsite right beside The Herd.

Beach walking

Yep, you would find us right in the middle of every one of their beach walks.

Split

Even if sometimes that walk was a little chaotic.

Ruby Sitting I

From my vantage point in the center of the kitchen, I can keep track of everything on my left . . .

Ruby Sitting II

And on my right. But this sitting up thing is way too much effort.

Flat 1

So, now, I am conserving maximum energy with my Flat Ruby approach.

Flat Ruby II

I can still keep track of everything on my left . . .

Flat Ruby III

And on my right, all while utilizing little energy resources.

Asleep Ruby

Oops. Might have my energy levels just a little too low now.

Tartok

Tartok here. There I was just minding my own business.

Brush

And I was attacked with a brush. Something about dropping hair tufts as I was walking around the house.

Ruby

Ruby here. It was horrible to watch, trust me.

Together

We know this picture is blurry, but can you see how much of Tartok’s furs are being stolen??

Voting Sticker

Here in the USA, today is election day. Make sure you vote today.

Close up

Then you can proudly show off an “I voted” sticker, just like Ruby.

Tartok

Tartok here. You may wonder why I am sleeping on the hard floor while . . .

Ruby

. . . my sister Ruby gets the couch.

Vent

You see, I have the fresh air ventilation spot for those cold mountain breezes.

Ruby

While she suffers in the den with the humans who insist on closed doors and windows when it is freezing outside.

Head up

I win.
