Ruby Tuesday – Situation Normal

D.K. Wall — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 06:00:36 +0000

Ruby here. The Herd Annex is being as normal as we ever are.

Tartok and I are performing our normal kitchen patrols.

Well, except for when Tartok is upside down snoring.

And then I just have to keep a close eye on things in the kitchen by myself.

A very close eye

A very, very close eye.

A very, very, very close eye.

And then I reflect on the one that got away.

Ruby Tuesday – Tartok’s Time

D.K. Wall — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 06:00:00 +0000

Tartok here.

I know it is Tuesday and all.

And you might be expecting that Ruby dog.

Well, sometimes, Tuesday should be Tartok Tuesday.

After all, don't you want to see this cute face some Tuesdays?

And one last thought for those of you who would rather see Ruby on Tuesdays.

Pbtttttttttttttttt!

Circling

Over at The Herd Annex, the house is built in an open floor plan. That makes the perfect circle for Tartok and Ruby to patrol the kitchen, dining room and den.

Tartok has the counter clockwise path going.

Ruby has the clockwise circle (notice Tartok's tail disappearing in the background).

Ruby Tuesday – At the Beach

D.K. Wall — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 06:00:41 +0000

Tartok and Ruby here. Just wanted you to know that we, The Herd Annex, would join The Herd every morning at the beach.

And we loved our morning (and evening) walks on the beach.

And we waited patiently for our human.

Mostly, we enjoyed hanging out in our next door campsite and watching the rest of the campground.

Ruby Tuesday – Downstairs

D.K. Wall — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 06:00:58 +0000

Tartok, why would humans go downstairs when the kitchen is up here?

Ruby, somethings a big brother just can not explain.

Let's just say humans can be weird sometimes.

Ruby Tuesday – Favorite Activities at The Herd Annex

D.K. Wall — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 06:00:53 +0000

For newer readers, The Herd Annex is the hu-grandmom’s house on the other side of the valley. Let’s check in on some of their favorite activities.

Ruby carefully monitoring dinner preparations.

Tartok combines two great activities - napping beside the dinner table.

Did you think we were going to list counter surfing? Would this innocent face ever be involved in something like that?

Ruby Tuesday – Working for a Pose

D.K. Wall — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 06:00:31 +0000

Hey, I was napping here. Isn't this RUBY Tuesday, not TARTOK Tuesday?

Like I am supposed to do all of the work here.

Ruby Tuesday – Placement Options

D.K. Wall — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 05:00:34 +0000

Sometimes, you need to strategically place yourself.

Some of us just will the food to fall to the floor.

And when nothing falls during dinner, you have to watch the clean-up operation closely.

Or just work on your best pathetic look routine.

Wow, Tartok is good. I had better practice.

P.S. – Yes, yes, yes – We will have more pictures of newbie Frankie tomorrow. We had to celebrate Ruby Tuesday first, right?

Ruby Tuesday – Reverse Poodle

D.K. Wall — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 05:00:42 +0000

Ruby here - Tartok and are sporting the latest fashion.

Tartok is proud of his style, too.

It is the ever stylish reverse poodle look.

No worries - just a little dental cleaning for both of us, but not sure why we had opposite legs done.
