Makeover
The guys did “clean-up” today… Reriding the pasture… Looking for the few head we were short. One wild cow had jumped into the neighbor’s and they were nice enough to bring her home. They covered lots of country and found three lone heifers down in the cedars. It’s easy to see how you can overlook…
Labor Day or Holiday?
Yup. Long day. No surprise. Actually, things went quite well, we’re just never too speedy about this… We did have to dig a lot of the neighbor’s cows out of our stuff… but other than that… We were good. I guess it just seems long to me because although we arrived home at 5 pm,…
Elsa’s Day at Work
Yesterday’s work totaled enough photos I just decided to make you a slideshow… Remember this is from my angle atop Panama… so his ears are in almost every shot! The black Aussie is, of course, Boomer… The border collie is Sam, Johnny’s dog. And Elsa… re-haired after blowing her coat after her last litter… and…
First Walk
First Walk I took my first walk with my dogs this afternoon… LONG overdue… My first of 2010… My first since Christmas… My first for waaaaaaa-aaaaay too long! Can you see Elsa’s impatience and Boomer’s passive indulgence? But more, can you see Dally’s LOVE? (Lucas is already in the trees ahead) How about now??? Oh,…
Photoshop Playday
Though I had a productive morning on my new little project at the Mills Place… I got caught up in cheering for the Wyoming Cowboys playing the Texas Longhorns… dang if little bitty University of Wyoming didn’t look respectable for the first half! We even led by four points for a few minutes! But football…
Mountain Trail
I need to put off my other Kids’ Rodeo pictures for a bit and share the ones from yesterday. My sister was official photographer… The focus (pun intended) of her pictures is a bit different from mine… First, she takes more photos of people… (Like me visiting with my mother as we take a break)…
A Hot Move
The problem: Cows on the fence… they want to leave for the cooler mountain, but it isn’t time yet. Some dirty cows even are IN the field! Then there are the troublemakers… Lucas and Elsa have success! Lucas makes it to Bruner Draw… and goes looking for a mud puddle… he’s overheating and tired already….
Wordless Wednesday – Working Dogs
Lucas and Elsa show off their working ability.
What Are Cowdogs Good For?
What are cowdogs good for? They are great for going down to the creek to kick the cows back out into the badlands. They are awesome at going up hillsides to kick cows back out into the badlands. They easily handle the ones brushed up in the shade to remind them to go back out…
Oh, So Close to a Perfect Picture!
I was this close… [ ] note the size… *this* close to taking the perfect picture yesterday. Well, maybe not technically or artistically for some people… I’m no Ansel Adams! But when it comes to *MY* category of “working cow dog photos”, this was was almost there! Taking photos of working dogs is HARD!…
Dogs of the Day
Today was the first day in a few, that I’ve been able to settle in, do some chores, play an extended amount of time with the puppies, and have a nice visit with my daughter and her boyfriend. We’ve been moving cows, you see… Elsa and Dally were Dogs of The Day…
