Something very different today… I was going to go back over to the Washakie County Fair to see Jaxon sell his steer. I’ve never attended a sale, always thinking that I couldn’t compete with the local businesses that buy the animals. That was still true. Jaxon’s steer sold well… but I sure didn’t bid on…

#TBT: Stockdog History, v.2.0
This was first posted April 9, 2011. Since it decided to rain today (starting off with a skiff of snow), Vernon did tractor work which left me to work on my house again. I’m getting my closets figured out and reorganized… pulling out a shelf here, adding it there, and moving the rods around. Repainting….
Good Boy
With semi-nice weather, Vernon was hoping to not have any sick calves. When he came home to get a bottle of milk replacer, I asked to help, and Bravo and I rode along in the pickup. Taking a dog along to new calves is usually not recommended, but I planned to leave Bravo in the…
Things Change. Or Do They?
This is my “dog wall” in my studio… a small collection of vintage English Shepherd prints and various mementos from mainly Lucas. A dog book shelf… and a particular photo. This photo of Lucas from my studio window won me a photography award from the BlogHer community. I had to reminisce because… As I did…

#TBT: Makeover, v.2.0
This was first posted November 5, 2010. The guys did “clean-up” today…Reriding the pasture…Looking for the few head we were short. One wild cow had jumped into the neighbor’s and they were nice enough to bring her home. They covered lots of country and found three lone heifers down in the cedars. It’s easy to…
#TBT: “His Job”, v.2.0
This was first posted September 27, 2010. The last part of the afternoon, we weighed our weaned calves. They’ve been in the corral, at least this bunch has, going through Mommy-withdrawal. That expresses itself in bawling for three or four days… and then they are over it. Before we turn this bunch out on…
Eager
Bravo is always eager for his walk. I’m never fast enough!
#TBT: Brush Up, v.2.0
This was first posted June 8, 2010. A day not spent on horseback.Victoria and I made some lists and plans for the wedding… and gathered up some of the ribbons and decorations we’ve purchased along the way… We still need to make some arrangements and go up to the site and make some more lists….
#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…
