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….
Heifer Vaccination
While the boys were here for spring break… we managed to do those jobs that need everyone on board. We’ll AI (artificially inseminate) our young yearling heifers in May but the process begins now… vaccinating them with PregGuard. Since Daniel and I work the front of the chute… and Brandon works loading the alley and…
Even though…
Even though you’d think the entire ranch has come to a standstill to watch and ooooh and aaaah over Elsa’s litter of puppies… of course, that isn’t true. Thanks to Vernon and Johnny’s hard work, the cattle are still being fed… the calves are still being born… and tagged… and reunited with their mommas if the…
Big Sister
Dally is confused. She woke me up the other night at 2 am with a “barking fit”. Turns out she was telling me Elsa had gone into labor… but I ignored her… at 2 am, I try to ignore many things! Her best friend has suddenly turned into a “bitch”. Any attention she asks of…
Two Days Old
They already look fat… how can that be? I try not to bother them too much… I check on them when I feed Elsa 3 times a day… which by the way, she and my other dogs have flat out rejected the Exclusive Chicken and Rice dog food I bought last week. I used to…
Wordless Wednesday – All 11 Puppies
For this Wordless Wednesday… relax and enjoy all eleven puppies!
Puppies – the rest of ’em!
I finally finished roll call… and moved Elsa outside the doghouse, but next to it amongst the straw bales. I feel better that there is more room and hopefully less chance of laying on one. So here goes… Pup #6 sable and white female Pup #7 sable and white female Pup #8 dark sable and…

I managed to steal the first 5 to photograph and check over quickly. Here they are: Dark sable and white male. Sable and white male. Pup #3 Sable and white male Pup #4 Tri-colored male Pup #5 sable and white female
Puppies 2
I think there are 11 puppies… one with a big bald face like brother Drifter (and uncle Jedi)… two that may be tris… one looks very golden… the rest look dark sable… All of this is subject to change!
