Hunter
She’s a hunter. Elsa was better by far than Dally or Lucas… Maybe Eden has inherited those genes from her Great Aunt. After training on some basic commands in the field (close to some calves for distraction and acclimation), I turned her loose with the “mouse, mouse!” command. I didn’t really think she’d do too…
Black and White
Finally finished. The black and white Red Dirt In My Soul 2015 calendar is available for purchase! Unfortunately, I just took this photo today, so it’s not in there… 😉 Maybe next year if I sell some! This monochromatic version includes my favorite b&w and sepia pics from this last year. Check it out here.
Hard Stuff
Honestly… I really really really contemplated not writing this post. People told me not to. People told me to lie. People told me to just let it go, that you would forget, and I’d be safe. I thought about all the options. But, I’ve tried to be honest on here… and an outright lie just…
How Exciting!
First it rained, then it snowed… but only a measly 3″… so… it’s not so bad! It was 14˚ this morning though. Pretty brisk. There’s nothing like a grey, cold day with company coming to get some work done around the house. I admit it. My mother would be disappointed in me… I live in…
Truce
Meet the new addition to the menagerie. She’s tiny, has no name yet (!) and, hopefully, is a good mouser! My studio and chicken coop are overrun with mice… and there’s some in my house… which will probably get worse with winter coming. Now that she’s used to being fed in my studio, she’s getting…
Named!
Yes. I think I made up my mind. This goofball… zoomie looney… L.S…. Ellis… aka Little S*&^… This ornery, toe-biting, apple and tomato eating, tough acting little pup has a name. Rimrock Sweetgrass Edensfire. Call name, “Eden” Why? An “E” name… she’s Elsa’s brother’s grandaughter… it’s a tip of the hat to Elsa… Rimrock, well,…
The Future
Daniel has a new Aussie puppy.. Tuff. He got to go along on the gather and trail drive. Look at his tulip ears!! He followed Dally often… This is the best trail to have a puppy on. No cows on the fight, places to drink most of the way, downhill, and easy enough work (usually). …
Tired Dog
The cows are down… It was a beautiful fall day… But, I do believe Dally and I feel a bit tired! More tomorrow! (P.S., don’t forget to add your question to the next Q&A session!)
Works for Me
Lucas and I had a small workout today… Vernon wanted to move some of our cows out of their small mountain pasture into the next one over… It sounded like fun! We rode the Rhino up the hill, threw the gate open, and I yelled, “Come, cow! Come, cow!” We haven’t called our cows for…
Names
I am thrilled with all of the name ideas you guys have come up with… Here I thought I was about to make a decision… and now… hmmmmmmmmmmm. Keep ’em coming, I love them all! I took them for a walk today… and promptly my battery died. I have two spare batteries in my case,…
