Heifers were gathered and we moved them along… Once we had made it the mile to the graveled county road, things were easy. Wyoming has what is known as official stock drives. Even the paved highway I live on is a stock drive. That usually means that fences are set well back from road edges,…

For Hire
For Hire: One English Shepherd female with an extremely fluffy coat. Willing to run into brush and along creek beds or just the edges of your field. Her specialty? Collecting any available burrs, with a special emphasis on Houndstongue. By the stalk or individually, this little girl can get it done! Price varies, as it…
Well Done
He might take off on a short run, chasing those irritating and noisy prairie dogs. But he’ll always keep an eye on me. When I move my CanAm, he’s there to jump in the back, ready to be by my side for any adventure. He’s patient. Well done, Bravo.
She Likes It
The things we do for our dogs. I think I’ve mentioned how Indy has a problem with her back, so jumping in the side by side is more like a pull-scramble-grunt (if she could) kinda deal. To help her out, I rescued my old rug from the Durango (which is for sale, if you’re interested)….
Brag Time
The English Shepherd calendar has just been released. Lookee, lookee! Yup, that’s Jekyll and Brandon on the cover! Hahaha! Jekyll is the second Aussie to make the cover photo… Anyone out there remember Boomer? He was our barking black Aussie who would chase sticks and rocks and bubbles… and cows. He made it to the…
Dog Warmers
Today was a quick trip to physical therapy and the grocery store in Worland, followed by the little girls’ basketball game. The morning was overcast and cool, spitting rain by afternoon, and a slushy snowy drive home after the game. Definitely a change in the weather… I’m still looking for a home for these two…
Farm Collie
Bravo urging on a calf. I’m usually aware of dogs in photographs, especially English Shepherd types. I am reading a local history book as my “Wyoming” book for this month’s Pronghorn Reads Challenge. That’s a statewide monthly reading challenge promoted by Wyoming Humanities. It’s a good little book, full of bits and pieces that are…
Because
Just because he’s such a gorgeous dog…
Throwback Thursday: Lost at Love, v.2.0
This was first published April 7, 2014. Ah, for those sweet days of breeding English Shepherds… how I miss it! Well, I’m back… didn’t miss me did you? Sheila guessed it a few days ago, (good job!), I took a little trip to see if Miss Dally couldn’t hook up with a boyfriend! Little. Why…
How To Walk Your Dog Ranch Style
Walking the dog… And back… And forth… and back and forth… for hours. End up with two exhausted dogs!
Baby
I spent time cleaning and refilling my hot tub. No surprise, not far off lay my English Shepherds, also known as English Shadows. Laying in the grass, keeping a close watch on me, is their job. Indy was multitasking. That’s my new kitten that I’ve had for a month or so. She’s Booger’s granddaughter… out…
#TBT: Working Mother, v.2.0
This was first posted July 20, 2012. Look at Dally go! Sometimes a mother just needs to get back in the workforce… if only for a few hours! Those kids are demanding critters… and hustling through a job can really take your mind off those little “Klingons”… who want nothing more than to nurse often!…
