I enjoy your posts on training dogs. It's so nice to know someone is trying to teach humans how to teach and train their dogs. My Anatolian Shepherds have good manners, are responsive to me, but have no recall when going after a predator or what they perceive as danger. My female, Sheba, took...
Thanksgiving was nice, went to my sister's house. There was grilled steak, no turkey and dressing. I kinda miss the turkey and dressing, but I don't do the menu, she and my daughter do. I showed up with my son and 2 pies. LOL
Now I'm working on cleaning up the mess that is my back yard. I have...
I'm very glad that it rarely snows here, however I get monumental rains. So I get mud. Mud. I have a mud farm. Mix in sheep poop and I get Poop Soup. non edible.
Had my 2 cups of coffee, a couple of scrambled eggs and next is getting dressed and outside to work all day. I have a list of things to do outside while it is not a thousand degrees and hot. LOL
It was storming yesterday afternoon. I had to set a round bale of hay for the 10 sheep I'm keeping for a friend while they sell their place and buy another place, move and all that not fun stuff. It was thundering and lightening, creepy. I barely got the tractor parked when it started raining...
It stormed last night, a tornado went over an upscale neighborhood in Houston and blew roofs off, but did not totally obliterate homes, but still major damage.
I woke up before 3, got up at 3:30. Blah. I'll have to cram morning chores including Buford and Ozel's morning date. I have to leave at 9 to go pick up my SIL for her PT. If she doesn't have anything else to do, I'll be back home around noon. Maybe I'll take a nap.
Horse's registered name is Beer Joint. Lady I got him from called him Pub. That doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. I'll come up with something better that fits his personality.
The romance between Buford and Ozel is warming up, I'm hoping that she is coming back into heat. I only have 2...
I’m glad the surgery went well, now you have to be patient and heal up. Do exercises to build up strength but be careful and don’t overdo it. Did they offer physical therapy? Or give you any kind of exercises to do for your recovery?
What breed is this big dog?
With my Anatolians, livestock guardians, I must have some semblance of control. Large powerful, stubborn, independent working dogs, with no training, they can be wild. They do not do tricks, are not food or treat motivated. They want praise. I have taught them basic...
Friday morning I cleaned out the trailer and put it back in the holding pen. I put food, water, her blanket and her back in the bridal suite, Ozel seemed relieved to be back “home”. I needed to feed the horse, didn’t want to run the gauntlet of 30 starving sheep, so I closed them up in the small...
Ozel took a tour of South Texas, she was less than impressed. She rode in the backseat, AC blowing, comfy on her blanket. Once I got to Corpus Christi, I walked her, put her in her traveling bridal suite, fed and watered her.
Ozel was definitely out of heat. Couldn’t even get Taco the weiner...
We are supposed to get rain Thursday. We need it badly, it has been so dry. Naturally I'll be coming back from Corpus Christi dragging a trailer with a horse in it, a 6 hour trip, maybe 7 hours if the weather is bad. I avoid Houston like the plague and take back roads and hit Highway 59 on the...
Friends went home Sunday. They left Ozel here and will be back the first week of December. The hope is that she will come back into heat and consummate her love with Buford. Ridgetop and I came to the conclusion that moving her right before the peak of her cycle threw her out of heat and...
