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).

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?

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?

What are you up to, hu-dad?

The hu-dad was over at the hu-grandmom’s house Friday night with some of his friends – Adrill, Asaw, Ascrewdriver, etc. He was working on some big project that is supposedly for Ruby and Tartok, though they eyed all of the work with great suspicion. And Ruby supervised every step from her perch.

Are you sure you are doing that correctly, hu-dad?

The scary part is that the hu-dad said he would be over Saturday morning to teach them how to use it. Huh? How scary is that? Tune in tomorrow to see how successful this project is.

There had better be some tasty treats if I have to learn something.
