#TBT: “English Shadow”, v.2.0
This was first posted May 6, 2010. Honestly… He lives for me. He watches for me. He is dejected when I’m not around. He howls when I leave and he can’t go. He wants to crawl in my lap and snuggle. He knows I can find that *spot*. He has me wrapped around his paw….
Reno’s Curve
Last time I saw wildlife on this big curve in the highway, it was three mountain lion kittens. This time it was three bull elk. For not the first time, I marvel at my commute home from the library… when I posted this same photo on Instagram, one of the hashtags I could have used…
This Dog
I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s little video. Just push the play button, yes, a video will play! I guess it’s one of the reasons Red Dirt has never hit “The Big Time”. I love that video! I told myself many people would love that video. Like MANY people… No, nope, nada. It just cracks me…
#TBT: Snowfall Video
When I looked back for an old video for this Thursday’s post, I just had to choose this one. After a big snowstorm, I take all my dogs for a walk… or try to. They aren’t very enthusiastic about the deep snow, and I’m huffing and puffing along on snowshoes! For those of you who’ve…
#TBT: “Frosted”, v.2.0
This was first posted December 8, 2009.

Calf Work
Last year’s calves are getting sorted… heifers from steers… and those that managed to cross fences and the creek, were sorted out from the two year old heifers. Vernon took Bravo along to help gather some, I think he made Bravo’s month! Bravo is on the back of the four wheeler as they bring the…
#TBT: Once Again, v.2.0
This was first published November 11, 2009. It breaks my heart to see puppy noses from the past, knowing that Rimrock English Shepherds just cannot catch a break when it comes to raising puppies. I also look at these photos and smile, for I do have some wonderful memories of raising puppies. Dally and her…
Ranch Recap and Remembrance
Red Dirt In My Soul, a photographic journal of Wyoming ranch life, covers fall scenery, the Hunter Fest, a building project, and moving cattle off of the mountain top in disagreeable weather. This video covers the week of October 11 – October 17, 2020. It also includes a remembrance of “Eden” who died October 12….
Another Piece
Thank you all. One more piece of my heart waiting at the gate for me. Eden. As in “Garden Of”. I’m not the only one suffering… other people… and another dog… Bravo and Eden used to play and wrestle on the way to the chicken coop every night. Last night he stuck to my heels……
Oh, Eden
Oh, Eden… Rest easy, sweet girl. BHRRimrock Sweetgrass Edenfire, 2014-2020.
#TBT: Honest Dog, v.2.0
This was first published October 1, 2009. Unfortunately…the other day in between gathering the cattle and returning to wean the calves the next day…We lost a cow. Lost as in *dead*. Four legs pointing to the sky. Cows don’t tend to tip over as easily as sheep, but they do have one major method of…
