Today was the first day in a few, that I’ve been able to settle in, do some chores, play an extended amount of time with the puppies, and have a nice visit with my daughter and her boyfriend. We’ve been moving cows, you see… Elsa and Dally were Dogs of The Day…

Gotta Share Photos
I have to share some puppy photos… It is something I HAVE to do… I HAVE to share the cuteness! Elsa supervises feeding time, just to make sure everyone uses their manners. The colors (colours??) of English Shepherds… at least in this litter! You ever felt like LAYING in your food – it tastes so…
From Big Sis to Li’l Momma
Three weeks ago, when the puppies were born, Dally was a confused soul. She wasn’t sure what happened, but she wanted to be part of it. It earned her some whippings from Elsa. But Dally is a persistent gal and her sympathetic hormones seem to rage full bore. Each time I took photos or checked…
Lil Bro’
The magic 3 week age has hit the litter… They are quickly working on their personalities… They “bark”. They “run”. They “growl”. They “sit”. They make me use lots of “quotation marks”. If I can get an in focus shot… It is easy to come up with Photo Titles. Like today’s… “Hey, Li’l Bro’, whaddya…
Relax
Sometimes I get a little pressured. I’ve got company coming and a filthy house. I don’t know what’s for lunch and I have to feed people. I need to be naming puppies and writing my centennial stories and creating my book design and cleaning this ranch and painting the Mills place and … you know……
Wordless Wednesday – “…Puppy Dog Tails Antithesis
I have “Snips, and Snails, and Puppy Dog Tails (Antithesis)! Tomorrow: Out of Scope from Bangladesh and India!
The Zone on Video
Remember the Zone? Well, I captured it on video yesterday morning… So if you’re up for 4 minutes of puppy squirming, squeaking, grunting, and nursing… you’re one happy puppy. Or eleven. Please notice… Big Sister Dally is allowed to be there now… Don’t think that Elsa doesn’t make her pay on occasion! But Dally is…
Sneaky
Well, I had to do it… I snuck off of the ranch today to attend one more Spring Creek Raid meeting… this time held in what is now known as The Big Horn Stage Company. This building is on the National Register of Historic Places and has been a hardware store, cafe, and general store….
Not Puppies
They’ve arrived! Nope, not puppies… that was last week. This week’s celebrated arrival is my brand spanking new spiced up hickory kitchen cabinets! If you’ve been here long enough, you know we’ve been working on a kitchen remodel. There are tons of photos about it… demolition, new sheetrock, and lots and lots of mud. That all was…
Wordless Wednesday – Big Sister Babysits 11 Siblings
On this Wordless Wednesday, Big Sister (Dally) Babysits 11 Siblings.
The Zone
For the women out there… (sorry, guys… estrogen area ahead!) Do you remember “The Zone”? For those of you my age… we endured childbirth the “natural” way… no drugs, nada, nothing. My oldest, my daughter, took forever! My middle child was a large baby boy with a round head. My baby… I “zoned” on him……
Blizzard
This last blizzard stopped me from going to Casper and seeing my sister and brother-in-law. They are up from Texas… just in time to enjoy a few inches of snow and howling winds. Believe me, the winds can howl in Casper! Winds have been stronger than usual here… and there’s snow back on the countryside….
