Formal Introduction
Finally. I don’t know why it’s so hard for me… but naming dogs is sooo… painful! I start lists and amend them and add to them and research on the internet… and look up meanings of names and search the Choctaw dictionary and end off somewhere researching words from the 1600’s! There’s been: Josie. I…
First Day
Instagram and nice friends saved me time and money! Noticing that a friend had posted a beach picture from Oregon, I texted B. and asked if she’d be interested in bringing my puppy home for me. She was… with Mary from Shepherd’s Way English Shepherds willing to meet her… things were set! “Merlin” was a…
He’s Home
Well, he was almost home in this pic, but I stopped at my sister’s house to show him off and ended up staying for supper. The sun was setting, and I really hadn’t even taken a good pic except for this one where he looks like he’s choking himself! (Probably not PETA approved… but he…
Faster
He’s not here. He flew into Billings tonight, but went home with my friends who agreed to bring him to their home in Sheridan for me! Vernon and I will head out just after he finishes with his irrigating… and then I can finally see this face in person! He doesn’t seem too sure about…
NEWS!
It’s been a long time coming. I’ve been asked why I’m not breeding English Shepherds anymore… and I have to tell them, I’ve been trying! Dally didn’t take with a stud… twice. Then I felt she was getting old… and I spayed her. Eden arrived, but had to grow up and get her hips tested…
#TBT: Tired and Muddy v.2
This post was first written July 19, 2008. It has been a year since Butcher’s Foothills Elsa has come to live with me onthe ranch. At first glance, she was small but quick, slightly nervous, definitely prone tobarking in situations that make her nervous, lost, looking for love, and willing to pleasesomeone since she had left her Oklahoma…
Small World
As I wandered the Ten Sleep Rodeo grounds, trying, unsuccessfully, to walk Miss Reagan into her afternoon nap… I spied a friend talking with other people I didn’t recognize. But what really caught my eye, was a handsome dog also standing in the group. I had to ask. “HI! Excuse me, but what breed is…
If Wishes Were Horses… v.2.0
FIRST PUBLISHED: JUNE 25, 2009 Although my wish for the day would have been to attend a stockdog clinic… in Pavillion, Wyoming (2.5 hours away) from Elvin Kopp (his website is here)… instead we took half our cows to our mesa pasture. When I first heard about the clinic, I knew the date would…
Think PAWSitive
I don’t want to jinx myself. I don’t want, in any way, to put this out there, and have some random, rotten piece of luck, mess this up. Twice with Dally. Twice with Eden. Here’s hoping Eden’s third time is a charm. Meet Tank. Deep Creek’s Shark Tank, to be precise. Eden was supposed to…
#TBT: Oh, Else
If you haven’t been here long, you probably never got to meet Elsa. I’m really sorry for you. She was sweetness and grace, loving and quiet (most of the time). It’s been six years today that I lost her. The post I wrote about her passing is one of my favorites because it tells of…
#TBT: Repost : A Good Day
I was scrolling through some old posts of mine… this one is from November 30, 2009! I enjoyed it, thought you might as well… The crisp morning crept slowly out of the darkness. Sparkling glitter cast by Jack Frost caught the tepid rays of the early morning sun except for the creekbottom. It would be…
