Among the myriads of questions I get asked when out and about with the pets, on popular query is "who's in charge?" I always get a laugh when people state "I bet the little one's the boss!" Upon seeing cat Amelia and cockatoo Leo sharing the stroller, people often inquire "do they get along?" The simple answer is yes but we have our ups and downs. When I first considered a photograph for a "below" themed photo, I spent a little time pondering who would be above or beneath who if we had a pack dynamic and I considered a line up that would illustrate this. However, I don't consider the Cascadian Nomads a pack with any one person or pet above or below another. It sounds kind of cheesy but I consider us a family. Like any family, we have day to day getting along issues with each other to work out but in general our three dog, two human, one cat and one cockatoo group dynamic is quite even keeled. Oddly enough, these photos I took late last week at one of our local coffee stops kind of illustrates which pets might sometimes be below others. Some are also a line up of which pets are below another in age. Regardless of implied meaning, I love these sunny Seattle family snapshots. Answering strangers questions about the pets is a fun part of getting out and about but moments like this are above all.

Love these pictures. Looks like a very happy family enjoying the sunshine.

What a cool idea! Love it! One of the certifying officials and judges at our nose work elements trial on the weekend was from the Seattle area. She was making fun of the lack of sunshine as we had blaring sun and 80 degrees both days. Your statement about sunshine reminded us of her.

Ma says she doesn't know how you do it with 5! It's bad enough she has me and Corky (the parrot). That's enough to keep her busy! BOL Great photos!

You must get TONS of questions when you're out and about with the furry & feathered family! They're all so cute together!

I get that question with just 3 dogs: "Who's the pack leader?" Sigh. New research shows that domestic dogs don't have "leaders." They really are more family, with different animals "leading" depending on the situation. Love your group!
