I zipped home after work today… the dogs were all excited… How did they know I yanked my cross country skis out of storage? It was going to be a gamble that my ski boots would even fit me, it seems my feet keep growing… but, yup! I lucked out and could fit into them…

No Nuthin’
Well, rats. Started to make a video with needle felting… this time I’m working on a House Finch, another frequent visitor to my bird feeder… then I looked at the clock and decided that it was not the best use of my time when I had an appointment for Lucas at 11:00. Which means I…
Something
Assorted thoughts from a day unfocused… My Denver Broncos lost. Waaaaaaah! It’s -6 outside… All I can think is… I’m hoping it’s much colder on the mountain, just to kill off a few bazillion pine beetles… I found, online, a new way to use needle felting… It’s amazingly gorgeous and I can’t wait to try…
Accomplished
The snowstorm began overnight, 5 inches had accumulated. I layered on some clothes, grabbed my new tools, and headed out to work on the dog house. I had hacked on the the former lid last time with my little jigsaw, and now, thinking with a few more cuts, it’d slide down and become the floor….
Questions and Answers – January 2013 Part Two
Thanks for the well wishes… I asked for the shot to get rid of this sinus infection faster… So now I’m hoping I’m getting better, and now I have a sore tush too! Most of the questions that remain unanswered pertain to Lucas, so I’m going to condense. We ran over Lucas when he was…
Gravy
Lucas. Bringer of Light. Today, Lucas was a “guinea pig” in the laser light category. The Good Doctor, veterinarian to our dogs, horses, and cattle has acquired a Class 4 Therapy Laser. Today, Craig, from Companion Therapy Laser, arrived to train The Good Doctor and his staff. In need of dogs with challenging conditions that…
Good One
A little corral work today… We shipped off some little steers to a local feedlot… We usually feed them ourselves throughout the winter on hay (and some years, extra barley or oats). This is the first time we’ve ever done this… They’ll come back in the spring and we’ll put them out on grass until…

Supervisors
We loaded a few girls on the truck this morning. Time to say goodbye… Thanks, girls. Of course, the supervisors were there. (That’s Jazz, not Dally… she was inside, avoiding her father.) **** November 24, 2011 Thanksgiving November 24, 2010 Wordless Wednesday – “Frosty Frame” November 24, 2009 A Diet Tip for Thanksgiving Week November…

Cooped Up
After lunch, I decided to transfer the chickens back into the Puppy Coop. It was such a nice day, 40 and sunny, so it felt good to be out shuffling things around. I grabbed all my dog supplies, crates and tunnels and beds and toys and hauled them to the bunkhouse. The roost had been…
Questions and Answers – November 2012 Edition
Let’s get going! Sandy G.: Was there a reason for tying the twine on the chicken’s leg? (Keep it out of your garden, keep it nearby, or just for some fun!!) ??? (I am an ignoramus when it comes to chickens, so just wondering.) ;-} Sandy, I figured I needed a way to catch her……
