I had a small bout of trauma… but everything’s good now… so don’t fret! I came home from work yesterday to a dog that didn’t want to get up and move! It didn’t take too much for me to figure out that Lucas was constipated, which for him is a bad deal. Ever since his…

From the Mesa to Home
Definitely NOT a Minute Movie… but reminiscent of my Mountain Trail video… this one follows along from our Mesa Pasture to right before we cross the highway to home. Dally is Dog of the Day… and she did me proud (except for once!). Brandon and Daniel appear every once in a while. One little band…
Divine
We worked cows again today… first we gathered the willow and boxelder patch next to the creek that we call the Double Crossing. (That’s where we left them yesterday.) A mile home and we put them in the corral. Since it’s not a big day, and the weather was cool (cooler than I was prepared…
Dally’s Day
I should have got in here sooner… 168 photos and a bunch of videos today… is too much to go through! Dally started the day off fresh… and by “fresh” I mean Dally found something to roll in right away! She ended up the day still helping… although muddy, poopy, stinky, and covered in wild…
Questions and Answers – October 2013 Edition
Let’s go! Marilyn: Question: your dogs expend a LOT of energy when they are working. What do you feed them for optimum nutrition? Marilyn, I feed Loyall dog food and usually they are on just the Maintenance. If there is going to be tons of work, I’ll buy their Active Adult which has higher protein. …
Blues
Panama and Rio are on level ground, it’s just Fossil Butte and other hills are angled! It rained this afternoon, not much, but between today and yesterday, it’s the most rain we’ve had in quite a while. Everyone’s talking about how this winter is supposed to be really tough, according to local weathermen and the…
Saddle at Six Pics
We did saddle at six… Which, honestly, is late compared to how we did it in the “olden days”! Saddle at four was more like it! But that’s ok… It turned into a long enough day as it was… No big wrecks, it just takes time to gather a pasture, sort out the neighbor’s cows,…
Me and My Girl
Sometimes the day starts off with a kick! It’s cool… And running downhill just feels FUN! Well, it definitely went downhill from here… We gathered the pasture, turned them out into the lane, and they were happy happy cows. As in nopedon’tcarewheremybabyis, leavemealoneandletmeeat, cutmeoutofthebunch?Idon’tthinkso, whyisyourhorsesweatingthisgrassiswonderful. We were wanting to leave the yearlings in one pasture…
Rimrock English Shepherds
It reallyreally tried to rain here today, but the cloud sat on the far side of the ridge and when it finally made up its mind to continue farther east… it was out of juice. It had enough lightning and thunder to send me inside, though! While inside, I received a phone call about puppies….
Questions and Answers – August 2013 Edition
LightNING and rain passed north and south of us… Here’s hoping for no fire calls! Let’s get going! Marilyn: Questions: how do the doggies react during thunder and lightning? how did you select the name, “Dally”? Lucas was not scared of lightNING/thunder until I got Elsa. Elsa, as an Oklahoma dog, was SCARED of…
Wordless Wednesday – “Back at Work”
Dally was thrilled to be back at work today…
Father-Daughter Dance
When we moved our cows the other day, Dally was Dog of the Day. However, Lucas was along with Vernon in the Rhino… and once we’d made the Big Loop (and saw the elk) and arrived back at the corral to pick up *those* cattle, Lucas was free to join in the fun. Believe me,…
