Another pupdate



Remember this pup? We went and visited him today, he lives only a couple of miles from here. I called him Ace, but his name is now Hank. I almost kept this pup, but he picked his owner. This is what he looks like now:

We took Tess and Sammi over to visit, and went out to work Tess on the sheep, while Ted kept Sammi on a leash to watch. Sammi was just vibrating! There wasn't a small pen to work in, so I won't let Sammi work unless I can put her in a small pen- otherwise it'll be a battle calling her off. So she will have to wait till we go to Penny's. Tess did well, I sure wish I had my own sheep to work so that I could do this every day. Maybe next year.
Hank and Tess are very similar. They have the same style of fur and that leggy look.
Sammi was jealous of him and growled at him.

I caught a funny moment here.

I hope I get to go back and work Tess again. They sell fencing and carry a line of electric fence for sheep, so I might be able to get some next year and get a few sheep. I had so much fun today, I was grinnin' all the way home!

Our dogs don't get to work sheep, but they're getting to be decent hands with the cattle.

Beautiful post about riding Beamer below.

Beautiful dogs! I totally understand about the horse therapy, theres nothing like being on your horse to soothe your soul and clear your mind. Congrats on the calendar pics.

You should see if Budweiser might want to use that first photo pretty cute....guard that beer.Hank is quite big. I think Kali is a smaller than a lot of those pups....or maybe it's just cause I see them in pics and not up close.Kali is getting that longer leaner look.
