The Pack

playing with sticks and each other

 Gathering around Hubby for some love.  Maggie is his Border Collie with Bonnie and Ki-Anne.

Ki-Anne and Bonnie...I believe Bonnie is gonna to outweigh her soon.

Everyone loved the sunshine.

Lil patiently waits for the stick to be thrown.

Playing With Sticks...

Border Patrol

doing their job...patrolling.

Not Even Noon...

Hubby is always accommodating and provides me with the proper equipment...very nice of him.  I have whacked until I'm whacked out. I do one tank of gas and then rest.  I washed the front porch, added water to the gold fish pond and refilled the horse trough.  They are spoiled, although they have a creek and a pond, they enjoy their fresh water at the barn...and I keep them happy.

We hit the shade for a while.

Maggie models my safety glasses with a smile.

The sun rises higher as I rest.

Came in to empty the camera,

say hello

and headed back out again.

Who said I had a day off??

The Things I've Learned...

to view the world through the eyes of a child,

to enjoy the moment,

and how to feed a bottle baby through a crack in the door.

I have learned there is beauty,

even in destruction.

Treasured moments make memories,

and new life flourishes in bullsh**t,

and some days,

even web worms can wear diamonds.

Border Collies Shot...

with Canon Power Shot!

Gotcha!

The Other Woman

In her golden years,

what will we do when she's gone???

Our darling, our jewel,

Maggie Mae.

A Border Collie Adventure

Queen Of The Farm

Maggie Mae rules!  Every one knows it.  I would be kicked out before this Border Collie was.  Thank goodness, my husband has never had to choose.  Maggie would win hands down and I would be packing my bags.  I don't really blame him, though, Maggie is smarter than me.

Foster Dog Gentry is learning and catching on very quickly.  We still like to bark at lifestock but that is slowing down.  I must first teach her to stop before I can teach her to start.

Gen has the rules of the dog world down.  See her submission and see Maggie acting as if she sees nothing.

My Sunday Walk

Oh, yea, a walk, a walk!

Lil gets a stick and lies in wait for me.

After the last stick, Lil chooses a larger one this time.

Flakes and Fungi

You really think I am going down that bank?

Since we had a heat wave in the teens, I incorrectly thought it was warm enough for a walk with the dogs.  It was not.  The dogs loved it but I quickly discovered it was still very cold and I did not go far.

A Doggie Tail

Gypsy and Maggie are out of there!
Hey, guys, there is something is this hole.

This hole??

Are you sure its not over here? I smell it!

Squiggie checks it out.
