Today was one of those Gotta Do It Days, where you just have to complete those unwanted but necessary items of life. That included a trip to Cody for a doctor visit, hopefully one of the last where the lingering effects of my blood clot, pulmonary embolisms, and coumadin treatment are discussed. I’d just as…
Wordless Wednesday – “There’s a Puppy in Her Pocket”
Toffee snuggles into Victoria’s coat pocket during our snowstorm the other day… ************************************************************************* THE LINK FOR THE 2010 GREET RANCH CALENDAR IS NOW ON MY SIDEBAR TO YOUR LEFT! ENJOY!
These Men
This morning dawned crisp but sunny. The dogs were on alert hearing the semi’s tires grate along the frozen gravel. Dally began a low growl as it rolled along the mile long road into the ranch yard. Once within sight, her growl turned to a bark, and out of the yard she ran, Lucas and…
Someday Soon
The holiday must be over… it’s quiet in my house. No banter… No football game on the tv with a secondary background noise from computer or ipod… No key clicks from laptops at work… No opening of refrigerator doors to stare at contents… No semi-secretive attacks on the foil wrapped pie plates… No squeaking floors……
A Tip of the Hat
When I think up things to write about here… I focus on our ranch activities… my dogs… scenery… wildlife… and Wyoming. But I can’t seem to let this one subject go simply because it doesn’t fall into any of those categories. My father’s 80th birthday would have been yesterday… Except he’s been gone from this…

Gather Together
Today you might have gathered together… with friends and family… around the dishes filled with good food… You drank your fill as well… Though you consumed so much food and drink… it was still difficult to leave the table… It took some self control to abandon the culinary delights… Sometimes it would just be better…
Wordless Wednesday – “Turkeys are easily confused”
Some local wild turkeys… confused about which way to run… uh, girls, head UNDER the fence… duh! May your turkey not escape your plate this Thanksgiving! Note: look here for information on calendar ordering and large photos…
A Diet Tip for Thanksgiving Week
Unfortunately… I could stand to lose a few pounds… Can’t seem to magically make them disappear no matter how hard I wish them away… But I have come up with something that just might work! Hold the presses, folks… the answer for overweight Americans is right here in my backyard! It’s Dally! I know you’re…
The Bandwagon
Well… I did it. I jumped on… or rather clambered ungracefully… <my jumping days having abandoned me about 6th grade!> Now… like my friends at Daily Coyote and Bush Babe… I have put a calendar up for sale! <Use the above link or go to www.rimrockenglishshepherds.com and the For Sale/Working Dogs page> For the past…
Bull Sale Part Two
The drama continues… Although bulls will be bulls… we didn’t get smashed by any, thankfully! The crowd had arrived… it was time for us to go inside and have lunch and relax a bit before the sale… We had made our top three choices… Now we just had to enjoy our beef and salads and…
Bull Sale Part One
I forgot there was a bull sale today… Thankfully… It was just over the mountain in Buffalo… only an hour and a half away. And I love going to Buffalo… especially if I get a chance to window shop the antique stores… which I did for about half an hour! Oh, well… that was better…
