Kaycee Challenge Dog Trial
Now yesterday I admitted my love for my breed of dogs… English Shepherds… but I still admire the working Border Collie. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have driven 2 hours to Kaycee and the sheep dog trials… I didn’t get a program… but let me assure you the contestants and audience came from all over…
My Taste in Dogs
My taste in dogs doesn’t refer to dogs as menu items… but rather what appeals to me. Well, duh… English Shepherds have the personality I want. Mine are mild mannered, laid back, intelligent, Loyal (with the capital L), and great working partners. Just like my horse… I want a mellow horse that will stand still,…
Cerberus
From the depths of darkness… emerging from the gates of Hades… I give you… Cerberus… the multi-headed dog who guards the underworld! Forced upward atop an ancient cedar… splitting stone in its struggle to escape from Hades… Cerberus emerges into the light of day in the middle of Wyoming… Completing its journey from hell into…
Wordless Wednesday – Romantic Glow
The sunset creates a romantic glow… ha! in Lucas’ dreams… see yesterday’s post!
Moody Blues
If you’ve ever been around dogs, i.e. bred dogs, you’ll know the “moody blues”. Lucas is that moody dog. The one that lays outside of the girls’ kennel when they are penned. He mopes. I think his lower lip ACTUALLY sticks out in a pout. On occasion he howls. Not a coyote howl… a pitiful……
Photoshop Creativity
Sometimes I wish I could take a class on Photoshop. Some graphic design class that includes step 1, step 2, step 3… I’m not going to blame my age, but I need my steps written out any more. I need notes. Everywhere. Not just grocery lists. What*I*need*to*do*today lists. What Vernon told me to do today….
Lucas’ Paw – Pawrt Two
In February, I posted about Lucas’ paw… and received the most comments to any post I’ve ever written. I tried most of the suggestions… honey… sugar… sugardine… zinc oxide and calamine… other miscellaneous ideas… But Elaine and Sal, two of the commenters, suggested Schreiner’s Herbal Spray. What the heck, I spend SOOO much on this…
Canyon Dogs
On our trips to the canyon, my shadows have come along. That’s standard protocol for my life… If ever I’m lost… Just look for my English Shadows… they’ll be close! The past few days have been separated between the girls and Lucas since Elsa has come into heat. Lucas on the first day of our…
Wordless Wednesday – Rock’n Dog
Elsa perches on a rock in Otter Creek Canyon.
Mountain Trail
I need to put off my other Kids’ Rodeo pictures for a bit and share the ones from yesterday. My sister was official photographer… The focus (pun intended) of her pictures is a bit different from mine… First, she takes more photos of people… (Like me visiting with my mother as we take a break)…
Bogged Down
Left home at 4 am… Returned at 8 pm… Successfully moved stock to lower mountain pasture… Horses, dogs, people tired… Can you read Dally’s expression of exhaustion??? She did very well chasing cows out of bogs today… but her look says it all… Whew… Did I really really want to be a cowdog when I…
