Short Break

While not killing ourselves, we've been keeping busy today. Feeding the Ranch, Houdini and I making a feed run, checking on that doe. Still labouring. Not down, so that's good. Cleaning up some parts of the House. Moving items over to Studio. Still need cleanup over there, but not a lot is moving. All of it parts of projects.

Herself is running some things into town, to Barony people now. Should be back in less than an hour, but even so the evening feeding of the Herd of 6 is mine. Mine and Houdini's.

A good day.

Herds are good for Border Collies.


They are lost without them, really.

Yos, yos, it is so integral to Being when one is a Border Collie. One must supervise a herd. If there is no herd to supervise, one will be improvised and herded.

Oh yeah. And we wanna see pics of border collies herding things. This might be Smudge's finest moment in front of a camera!

We're usually too busy to make photos then.

Small children will do if nothing else can be found.

But, like, we don't have any human puppies here! We've got lots of Goats and Kids, and Cows, and a few Hogs, and Smudge has his DirtyYardBirds. Well, really, they're MrsBoss' DirtyYardBirds but Smudge thinks they are all his and stuff.

somehow, i can't see houdini being much help.

But I am! I help a lot. I keep the other goats from going out the gate, and I keep Boss company, and taste-test the kid milk, and Mark so Coyote doesn't think she can shop here, and 3of4 KitnzOfApocalypse and I check everything out.
