So… it’s not really “swish” , more like “swiss”, but I figured “Swiss Dally” might conjure up something entirely different than my fat little dog chasing a cow! Some people might spell it “Pssst”, but I have no “p” in my little command. “Sssssss” looks snaky. Anyway… here’s a little Minute Movie from last week……

Romance of the Horse Trailer
Dally came in heat and was standing last Sunday. Last time she had pups was in 2012 when she was bred to Bubba, a big, dark sable from Shoshoni, Wyoming. Then there was the trip last year to Idaho, where Tank, inexperienced gentleman that he was, refused to breed her although she flirted as much…
Cows Know
Even though I had spent a great amount of time driving to Billings and back, I made a decision Sunday to take another drive. Dally was in standing heat, and, I thought, it’s now or never… so I made plans to drive south this time to a stud dog near Shoshoni, Wyoming. A couple of…
Great Walk
After the normal routine of feeding cattle and chopping ice, the guys went snowmobiling for fun, and I decided on such a NICE sunny day, the dogs and I would head out for another shot at snowshoeing around the fields. It was much easier this time as I used my dad’s old fashioned bear paw…
Tired Dog
The cows are down… It was a beautiful fall day… But, I do believe Dally and I feel a bit tired! More tomorrow! (P.S., don’t forget to add your question to the next Q&A session!)
Nice Gather
Gathered another pasture… Dally was on duty today. It was an easier day for her… not a long distance, not too much up, more downs! Creek crossings were multiple! She loved it! Weather was a tad cooler… in the 80’s instead of 90’s… All in all… a very nice gather!
Live It
It’s not even 10 and I’m bushed. We moved those cows today, and it was very pretty and slightly cooler up on the mountain! The chance for rain was high, so we all packed our slickers, expecting to get rained on most of the day. Turns out, it only started raining when we finally were…
Wordless Wednesday – “Calendar Shot”
This would have been an entry for the English Shepherd calendar…
Gorgeous Country
It was unexpected… the sudden switch from high mountain plains to moist Pacific forest. The trip started as expected, Montana sharing her Big Sky and rimrock views. It took a short tour through sadness and random luck created by last year’s forest fires just outside Lolo, Montana. Most houses were right at the edge of…
Lost at Love
Well, I’m back… didn’t miss me did you? Sheila guessed it a few days ago, (good job!), I took a little trip to see if Miss Dally couldn’t hook up with a boyfriend! Little. Why did I use THAT adjective? This trip wasn’t little! Vernon and I drove to Kooskia, Idaho. It was supposed to…
