Sigh.

It has been raining day after day here.

So I have basically become a couch potato.

Of course, I have to sometimes look all royal and regal to impress my Herd.

It's tough being Queen.

With a guard dog like me on duty, these rope toys are totally safe.

You have any doubts about my awesome guard dog skills?

Rusty, Qannik and Kiska ask, "Can we come in and play?"

The weather here Sunday was rain. Steady, cold, non-stop rain. A bored Herd is, well, a challenge, and so we kept inventing games throughout the day.

One of those games you will see later this week – “Pick Your Future Food.” As we mentioned a week or so ago, we are having to choose a new food because of a dog food recall. We have narrowed the choices to Acana, Fromm, and Orijen and have been rotating those three foods to see which one The Herd prefers. To say the choice is close is an understatement.

So, in our rain induced boredom, we set up a trial of 3 bowls of food, release one member of The Herd at a time, and then video the results for everyone to see. As they say, film at 11. Or Wednesday or Thursday depending on how quickly we get the video edits done.

I know you see sunshine behind me, but these pictures are from last weekend.

No pictures from this weekend to share because it has been rainy and cloudy.

Last weekend was more fun - just saying.

Who am I kidding? No one can be serious on a Saturday.

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

Here I am waiting patiently.

Wait a second - I think I hear it coming.

You do know what the weekend sounds like, don't you?

Woooo - These humans sure do like to hike a lot.

I would protest that whole "A Tired Sibe is a Good Sibe," but who has the energy?
