I guarantee my puppies when I sell them, encouraging new owners to use me as a resource for dog training, health, the English Shepherd breed in general. That’s why I now have Colt. He is five years old and had issues at his home. I picked him up last Sunday in Buffalo, as his family…
Reader’s Digest Day
A few different things to write about tonight, the “new” dog, moving heifers, and a terrific rainstorm tonight… but, I’m so sore… and my eyes have slammed shut just sitting here looking at pics. I really can’t spend too much time here… But I’ll give you the Reader’s Digest version. Meet Colt. Look who got…
Wordless Wednesday – “Swishing Flies”
Swishing flies in the sunset light… **** Time for a Q&A. Post your questions here.
Time Would Tell
The dog’s paws padded through the fine dust sending the red poofs abruptly skyward. Steadily he ran, tongue rolling sideways, ears forward, then backward, seeking, listening, seeking, listening. He was determined though unaware of his destination… determined to lead or stay alongside the little truck as it puttered along the country road. A run for…
Overkill
The last pasture we ride through is full of the neighbor’s cattle. Rather than fight them off while trying to push ours at the same time, our neighbors show up to kick theirs out of the way and hold them as we go by. It’s also convenient because this is the pasture with all the…

The barren trees overshadow it, their roots allowing the water to seep upwards in an enduring spring. Hidden among the roots, I spied pink surprises. Fireweed blooms in the moist shade, a rare…
Dying Mules’ Ears
OK. I’m pooped. I may even be beyond pooped. Don’t ask what that is, just take me at my word! We trailed our big bunch to the mountain pasture today. They went good most of the way, except for the STEEP HILL. The cows went up it fairly well, but, unfortunately, a lot of them…
Craig Johnson/One Book Wyoming Video
Wow. RAIN. After days of sweltering heat, it started to rain last night and continued throughout today. 1.13″ in my rain gauge! That’s a Very Good Rain for Wyoming! And I actually wore a sweatshirt for part of the day… Another thing I did today was create a video for the Ten Sleep Library facebook…
Salsify Fun
And back on the ranch… Another bunch gets moved up to the Mesa Pasture… the difference this time? Victoria AND Matt wanted to ride, so that left me behind in the company of twins… Never to be left too far behind, I threw them in the Durango and followed the dusty trail. We arrived just…
