hiding spot

Frankie seems to have found himself the perfect hiding spot. Can you find him?

From here, he can monitor the humans coming and going and monitor the entire dog area.

Not to mention take a few good naps.

We are often asked why we hike so much. As a long-time Siberian Husky owner, hu-dad is a big fan of Rule # 1 – A Tired Sibe is a Good Sibe. But they say a picture is worth a thousand words. This was taken shortly after we returned home yesterday from our morning hike:

why we hike so much

The answer to the question why we hike to much.

Any questions?

P.S. – And, yes, this applies to any breed.

office work

Frankie here. Taking up my usual position of helping the hu-dad with his office work.

pup for it

Yep, it is a difficult job helping out in the study, but I am just the pup for it.

TGIF

Thank God it is Friday!

We often tell you how mean and cruel our hu-dad is. Nothing got us more sympathy than our story of how the chaise lounge pillow “accidentally” lost its stuffing and the hu-dad replaced it with a piece of plywood.  Ok, there was Frankencouch and its furniture replacement, but the chaise lounge is our focus today.

Anyway, the hu-dad thinks plywood is perfectly fine for us to lay on, but when he sits on the chaise lounge, he brings a pillow to lean against.  He did that this weekend but then had to go inside for a few minutes.  Guess what he found upon his return . . .

And exactly how did this stuffing explosion happen?

exploded

We don’t know, hu-dad. We were just standing here and – BOOM – it just exploded.

A very Happy Tenth Birthday to our fearless leader. No, not the hu-dad, he is waaaaaaaaay older than that. We mean Queen Natasha the Evil.

Happy 10th Birthday

Queen Natasha patrolling the perimeter and making sure her Herd is safe.

QNTE is the only member of the current Herd who came here as a puppy (and the only one whom we know the actual birthday). All of eight weeks old, she was quite clear about her proper place in the pack.

Confidence.

Eight weeks old – and exuding confidence.

From the very beginning, the current reining Queen, Nikita, took little Princess Natasha under her wing and taught her all the evil ways of leading the Herd. Natasha would follow Nikita everywhere, usually just by clamping onto her neck and being drug from place to place.

Most of the advantage of being Queen is being totally unapologetic about any trouble that is caused. If you just look confident, who can ever get mad?

Mud?

Mud? What mud?

And one of the great pleasures of being Queen – you can act like a kid any time you want to.

Play with abandon!

So, we hope everyone will join us for some cake and wish Queen Natasha the Evil a very Happy Tenth Birthday!

Is this my cake?
