Two Guys from Minnesota and their assortment of huskies (currently Zeena and Tonttu) sharing their outdoor adventures
Does Panther do barn hunt? Perhaps she was expecting something else to come out of that tube!

A perfect moment: milkweed pods opening, seed tufts glowing in the sunlight. Occasionally the breeze lifts one gently into the air to twirl & dance away.

I stopped to capture the tranquil scene on video.

Tonttu was not content to wait for the wind to work its magic.

And some more photos of our various short adventures this last week, close to home.

An overly busy week at work has kept me from posting, but we did get out for a couple of nice hikes as fall colors continue their transition to winter austerity.

Here's Tonttu investigating something in the tall Bluegrass prairie at the north end of Afton State Park.

You do NOT want to hear him do the Lion's Roar!

Dog-owner home decorating!

Tonttu knocked over the floor lamp in our living room. The shade had already been cracked by a previous canine mishap. This time it shattered.

@ordercollie.com got creative with a dog cone for a temporary replacement!

Good freeze overnight, so the leaves are really coming down now. We got Zeena and Tonttu out for a walk around the neighborhood to enjoy the colors while they last.

After being stuck indoors all day yesterday due to the rain, Zeena was extra talkative before today's walk. I made it worse by delaying our walk even further by getting video!

This is more of today's mood, but without the sunshine.

Today is cold and dark and rainy and windy. Having fond memories of a sunnier times a few days ago...

From yesterday's lunchtime walk at Lebanon Hills. Autumn colors are definitely popping here in the Twin Cities metro area!

Tonttu took full advantage of the stream flowing out from Mound Springs Park on our warm hike today. He could not stop laying down in the stream as we hiked the path that follows it.

Pawing at riffling water was something Gypsy used to do. It's sweet that Tonttu is picking up the habit. 🥹

Did you try hunting for food? Zeena tried (and failed) to catch us some frogs' legs today, but we weren't desperate for food, so we didn't mind.

From that same trip: Zeena and Gypsy both enjoyed foraging for blackberries along the trail in the woodlands. Tonttu has yet to learn this skill.

Light breezes making waves across late-summer sumac several years ago.

Apparently a 4.25 mi run was not enough for Zeena or Tonttu! They had PLENTY of energy left afterwards:

Apparently, every first Wednesday of the month, 1 PM, there's a coyote party at the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge.

Sadly, neither Zeena or Tonttu could be convinced to join in.

Gypsy learned at a very young age that duckweed may look like grass, but it doesn't have the same husky load bearing capacity!

Tonttu was our first dog to have a drinking problem! He splashed water all over the floor with his big tongue. We tried a special splash-resistant bowl, and it's been working great!

Water rises through the depression in the floating cover, enough to drink but not enough to make a mess.
