OK, remember my pityparty??? No cake, no balloons…??? Well, I’ll tell you this much. Saturday I went on a bad ambulance call. I’m not really used to those, and I’ll leave it at that. Sunday I had chest pain. Monday I had light headedness (no, not because I am blonde). Tuesday I could NOT breathe….

Teach me, Dally
I had a not so great weekend. For many reasons I’ll refrain from sharing the details with you… I mean, sincerely, that I *can’t* share them. Take my word for it… Saturday basically sucked. Sunday was worse on a personal level. Monday, today, was better news, but I still felt yucky, weird, unusual, different, how…
Vlog
A vlog for those of you out there that don’t know… and I was a partner in crime with you until recently… is a video blog entry. I’ve been playing with my new computer, a 24″ Mac, (I know, I know, but I LOVE it!!!) and when I posted a video on YouTube the other…
Exertional Rhabdomyolysis
On a great day, Lucas strikes a pose… Sounds yucky, huh? Well, I can attest with my hand over my heart, tears in my eyes, and a sinking heart, that it is much more than yucky to witness. What is it? Basically it is when your dog works too hard, add a dose of dehydration,…
Dally’s first day as cowdog
See that tri-colored bundle of energy there center screen? That’s Dally, daughter of Lucas and Elsa, now almost 11 months old and on her first full day of cowdog duty. We gathered these cows today. Their calves are gone, they are ready to move down to our middle pasture, both of which made for an…
What are you DOING???
The dull thud echoed around me. The crunch of fallen leaves as my 3 dogs zipped through them were silenced and the resulting quiet was broken by the hollow thump. Curious, I quickly dropped my camera from my eyes, and looked around. My dogs were nowhere in sight. I had been focused (pun intended) on some…
Here they come… there they go
My sister took this picture for me… I love it. Here we all are, well, my sister and my husband are both following us with the pickup and horsetrailer… But look! It’s US! After a long day of cowboyin’, we ride for the corral, shadowing a puny feeling heifer. That’s me on the left in…
KD gets a new home
I know without a doubt that I have learned more about dogs in the past few years than I ever knew before… Since I was young, I dreamed of my own dog. My dad had bird dogs…until we moved to Alaska. There my sister was allowed a dog… an interesting soul named “Chico”. He was…
A Bad Bike Ride
I’d pulled the onions from the garden, fearing a hard freeze. It was 5 o’clock, just enough time for a quick bike ride before I had to cook supper. I left the onions laying out to dry in the last hour or so of sunshine and whistled for the dogs. Vernon had started cutting hay…
Gotta Go
Camouflage. Sometimes, just sometimes, when Vernon says he has to run to the other place for some odd quick job, I just gotta go. I gotta stop looking out my living room window. I gotta breathe some clean air that doesn’t smell of fried potatoes and laundry soap. I gotta take my dogs who run…
A Walk
We could no longer resist, the weather was perfect, the skies were blue, and who really really cares if my floor needed mopped? Another bike ride to the creek, hoping to reenact yesterday’s dramatic swim fest. Alas, nothing so lively. Dally attempted another run up the steep bank, but she had much less momentum today…
Oh, Daddy…
FINALLY! the rain and cold has left us and seemingly the first nice day we’ve had since Labor Day Monday was yesterday. We’ve received almost 2″ of moisture since then, so we shouldn’t complain, but I do miss sunshine! Itching to get out and about, the dogs and I went for a bike ride. I’m…
