The warmth and wind has taken a lot of our snow the past few days… but our fields are still covered in snow with crusts of mud around the edges. It makes for a workout walking my buddies. I decided it was time to start some more training. Walking along the highway. This is where…

Questions and Answers – March 2011 Edition
Oh, you guys always amaze me at your great questions! I know I say that often… but you still keep coming up with good ones! Question: were you living on the ranch in 1988 during the great Yellowstone Park fire? and if so, what did you experience from such a close proximity? Marilyn Marilyn, yes!…
Dog Training Tip 1
People ask me dog training tips quite often. Maybe because, on occasion, my dogs do behave wonderfully well. It’s not a permanent state, though… and I take the blame for it. There are some things my dogs do fairly well… others… like being anti-social with other dogs… I haven’t DIScouraged, simply because of where I…
A Walk
When Victoria comes for a visit, we HAVE to take the dogs for a walk. Mine, because it helps keep any crankiness level low with the visitors… Hers, because they’re “townies” and when they’re here, they just want to RUN. And Jazz and Sadie can outrun all of my dogs! My dogs have to stop…

It’ll Be Better
Ah. Scheherazade was right! 😉 It was much too late and I was much too tired to finish yesterday’s story… but let us pick up where the tale had ended. Elsa was helping Vernon and Daniel trail cattle down the road. A unique activity because I was driving the pickup, and rarely will Elsa…
It Wasn’t Good
<BIG SMILE> Can you see it? All of your well wishes made my day! Thank you all collectively! Honestly, this has been fun… and so there is no doubt that I will continue visiting with you… sharing my days… and writing my dotdotdots! Yesterday and today, we messed with our cows a bit. Before we…
Enjoying Themselves
I spent too long at a friend’s house this evening… I just drove home through a ghostly fog… It’s late and I’m going to shortchange you with a video from last week. The snow was magical this day… so soft and fluffy, my snowshoes were almost no help at all… The dogs were enjoying themselves…
