Can you believe that some people ( mostly T.H.) still ask me what I do with my time? Honestly. As if I waste my time engaging in non-productive endeavors. That is a subjective judgement that has no merit. I just happen to be easily amused. Like when I go to the feed store. I did […]

A Quiet Ride
By
It’s pretty quiet when I ride out by myself. Technically, I’m not by myself. There are three of us. My horse, my dog and me. But, they don’t say much. We’ve been friends for so long, there isn’t a whole lot more to say. “Come by …….. Hurry” “Easy” “Stop” “Wait” “Away” “Walk up,…. easy” […]

If I had a grandchild I would have someone to get excited with me when a turtle is crossing the road and I slam on my brakes and rush out to save it’s life by taking her home and letting her go in my Turtle Kingdom. If our kids weren’t so selfishly living their […]

Last year was about scarcity. This year is about abundance. A new experience for Puncher ….. and Paint. We go out to bring cattle in they have to swim and wade through a sea of grass. Sometimes she’s like a torpedo shooting though the tall grass. Sometimes Paint has to stop and catch his […]

I’ve been traveling with Paint a little bit this winter. We haven’t really had a “winter” to speak of. That’s why I get to travel so much. No snow, no ice, no cold weather. Let’s hear it for global warming! Puncher, Paint and I have been slipping down to Oklahoma to some Ranch Sortings […]

The past few weeks I have been perfecting my technique of “Shoulder Shots”. That is taking snapshots over my shoulder behind me while I’m riding or walking or 4-wheeling. What is the purpose of this? ( I know you are wondering) 1. First and foremost, for my own entertainment. 2. I’m very curious to see […]

Sometimes people are involved in competition with me and they aren’t even aware of it. For instance, this guy Andy, at a recent Cattle Dog Clinic. I pulled up in my Subaru with my two dogs crated in the back. Andy pulls up with his six dogs crated in the back of his truck and […]

Tip Dear Friends, One week after I posted the blog about This Old Dog, Tip , he left me behind and went to the other side. There was an accident and he was gone. I was unprepared for the extent of my grief. I wasn’t ready. I was happy taking care of my old friend […]
