I was cruising Facebook Saturday and saw this: I just couldn't leave her in the pound for the weekend (she'd have been stuck until Monday because the pound is closed Saturday afternoon through Monday morning). I contacted the assistant dog warden to let her know I'd foster the puppy, and I was on my way … Continue reading Fostering (again)

She needed a vet!
DG's bandage showed bleeding through it, and I was concerned about bacteria and infection so I called the vet's office this morning. They were great about getting her in right away. She was very well-behaved while waiting her turn. The exam room made her nervous. She was not happy about the sedative (shot) but didn't … Continue reading She needed a vet!

Fixing a foot
Somehow, DG cut herself badly tonight while Ted was doing farm chores. I think she did it in the creek, but I'm not positive. It looked like a gouge, but once I got it cleaned, I saw it was a big slash. We're rural so all vet offices close after 12pm on Saturdays. I didn't … Continue reading Fixing a foot

Supervisor and crew
Look closely: that speck of white between the tractor and cattle is Cooper. No matter what Ted is doing, he has a crew that just stands around, watching him work. Same thing with Cooper, the little supervisor: he loves to hang out and watch. They make the perfect crew and supervisory team!

A piece of paper, a rubber band, a Bobby pin, shoes, toys, houseplants, dustpan - if it was on … Continue reading Puppy antics

Fostering (let’s try it again)
This puppy was found in a neighboring town after the storm Sunday night, cowering in someone's bushes. The owner couldn't be found. The finder turned her over to the pound. Initially, we saw her picture circulated by the local Humane Society, but then on Tuesday, her picture was with the dog pound. We discussed it … Continue reading Fostering (let’s try it again)

New pasture
After thinking Beef and Bessie drowned in the flash flood last week, we've been figuring out where to set up a new pasture on higher ground. Ted set posts Sunday morning, and we put up the electric wire that afternoon. Beef and Bessie watched our every move. They are such curious animals. I can't get … Continue reading New pasture

For me?
I'm sad. I rode to town but didn't get a cheeseburger. I know the drill. If we pass the smell good place but don't stop, I don't get a cheeseburger. Wait! Are we home??? I love home!!! See the wind in my ears? I could be a model. Is that a cat??? You should totally … Continue reading For me?
