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,…
PuppyPuppy
What a grey and drizzly day! Rain has moved into the cowboy state once again… lending itself to thoughts of fires in woodstoves and projects to wrap up. I chose from a few today… cleaning the house, that perpetual beast that looms over my shoulder constantly… working on the 2015 Red Dirt Calendar… and spending…
Missed
Thanks to all of you for your condolences about a little black dog… I keep running across photos of him… He’d manage to sneak into the shot especially when I was trying to get something I could submit to the English Shepherd Club for their calendar. In fact, Boomer made it to the cover one…
Boomer
Born: May 26, 2004 – Died: September 22, 2014 A lightning show of thunderboomers lit up the evening sky tonight. Safe travels, Boomer. The last two photos were taken by my sister-in-law on her visit last week. Thank you, C., for these… Boomer was buried with a stick.
Whatshername
I’d like to introduce you to … uh. Whatshername. I’m still not sure what her name is going to be… as Lucas’ breeder can tell you, sometimes it takes me FOREVER to decide on a name… It will probably have something about fire, or light, or red dirt! Lucas’ registered name is Rimrock Lone Firelight…
Tease
Today was a busy and long day. It began with a little of this.. Then it included this… Followed by hours at this… But the best part of today??? This… Am I a tease or what????
