Does anyone remember Ralph E Wolf and Sam the Sheepdog ? From Looney Tunes? ( Ralph is really Wile E Coyote, in case you didn’t know) The other day when Puncher and I were moving pairs, images of Ralph and Sam waltzed right into my noggin. You see, when Puncher sets out to move cattle, they “skee-daddle.” […]

The Black “Baldie” Cow. They are “snowflakes” wrapped in cowhide. From afar they look the same. Up close, no two are alike. They are a work of art. Sometimes the big snowflakes have little snowflakes. That look just like their mamas. Thus negating my snowflake theory. Did anyone ever tell you….. “You look just like […]

After the unfortunate Devil Horse episode with Pardner , I spent the last month riding him every day. We became reacquainted. I thought we were friends again. I thought we were having fun. We didn’t attend any more silly horse shows. I thought we had really bonded. I have a problem though. It keeps forgetting […]

In the Cowgirl World, a “Saddle Series” is a series of horse competitions over time with the winner taking home a new trophy saddle. Barrel Racing, Cutting, Ranch Sorting. All western events have them. The saddles are highly prized in the horse kingdom. I’ve never won one. I may buy one on EBay someday. My […]

I have always used an older well behaved dog (if I had one) to facilitate my puppy training. It’s not exactly training as in “sit”, “come”and “stay”. The older dog serves to ease the puppy into his many “First Times”. First night in the kennel: I put my good old quiet dog, Tip, in the pen next to Ace for company. Tip has performed as […]

Fresh off our last successful mission , Puncher and I were quickly assigned a new one. The next morning, T.H. and I were drinking our coffee, visiting about the day ahead…. TH:”Are you gonna ride today?” I ride everyday. Me: “Yes”. Here it comes. TH: “Why don’t you ride over on the West side and […]

We shipped Spot yesterday. I’m a little busted up about it. It’s not like I’m going on a running drunk or anything. Just a tiny bit (not surprisingly) emotional about him leaving. I knew exactly what I was getting into when I made a pet out of him. I’ve done it before and I will […]

Yesterday morning, T.H. made a casual comment to me that “We have 3 too many dogs now”. I wonder which dogs he considers superfluous? Obviously he hasn’t read my blog post about too many or not enough dogs in which I fully explained my logic. My magical thinking that turns 5 dogs into 1. Nevermind. I’m pondering on which ones he […]

I took my two horses to a Kansas Stock Horse Show last weekend. Ol’ Paint, the consummate professional…. No problem. My sweet Pardner, new kid on the block…. Big problem. What happened? I don’t know. I’ll never know. He isn’t saying. Devil possession? Aliens? I’m clueless. He was great at the Quarter Horse Show two weeks ago. No […]

I was gone for a week visiting my baby girl in Salt Lake City. Mostly we were eating sushi, getting shellac manicures, shopping. When I came home T.H. had cattle stuffed in every nook and cranny of this ranch. T.H. must have been on a big buying spree much like the one I was on in Salt Lake City with my girl. […]
