Hey everyone
Mom hasn’t let me outside to do chores since the sheep were sheared a week ago. I sorta got run over by a rouge ewe with an attitude. We got some vids of the shearing procedure, but none of me getting run over. Oh well, more on that later.
Mom hasn’t let me off leash outside because our ewes are having babies and she is afraid I will upset them like I usually do and they don’t need it right now.
This is what mom is saying: The first ewe had a late term abortion and delivered 3 DOA lambs. She was right there and saw them born and they Were DOA. Next one was born April 19th, and she had 4 live births and over the next 3 days 2 died. Next one was on Saturday the 24, she had twins, both healthy and doing well. Mom took some movies of the actual birth. She is still trying to decide whether she will put them up on here or not. We still have 2 more that are due. One any time and the last will be late if at all.
Soon I hope mom will let me out to see the babies. I was real good with the ones that were brought into the house to try and save. I licked them and nudged them and was very gentle, but it was too late.
Weather has been real nice during the day, but still cold at night. Things are starting to happen around the house outside. Mom was letting me go out with her till the lambing started. Oh well, I should be able to go out soon.
I hear mom talking about the vet and getting fixed. Not sure what that is all about, there is nothing that needs to be fixed on me, I am all together and good to go. Nothing broken that I know of that the vet would have to fix. Oh well!
Will be starting obedience training soon and maybe some agility stuff too. That should be fun. Oh,,, I found that yellow balls are fun to play with. It’s fun to drop them where mom has to get down on here knees to get them for me…what fun. Mom keeps trying to get me to give it to her. I’m just not into that yet. Mom has this funny looking round thing she keeps throwing for me. I just watch it. Not a clue what I am supposed to do with it. Oh well, I’m only 6 mos. old. maybe I will figure it out as I get older.
Mom has some video’s to get up since the last one. They are sorta cute, naturally, they star me in a couple of them.
Till then

Hey everyone, Sorry bout my absence. Mom was doin something she called house setting for 2 weeks. Really she was dog sitting also. They had a little dog. A Chihuahua I think, if its spelled right. Anyhow, we were there for 2 weeks. I had to protect mom all the time from the little rug rat. I even had to allow it to sleep with us. That wasn’t cool.
After the first week, I decided he wasn’t all that bad. We only had one or two “minor” fights, or snarling disagreements. No blood shed so I guess all was good.
I got really bored though. No big dogs to romp with and Rooster ( his name ) didn’t know how to romp like my buds do at home. And I guess to be fair about it, I didn’t really know how to play with a little dog either.
Anyhow, I’m back and will post a movie that mom took after we got home.

Hey everyone, a quick note here. I am MIA for a bit. Mom is having nasty troubles getting into her main blog like, she can’t get there from here? She isn’t real happy at the moment and hasn’t been for a couple days. She has a lot to loose on that blog if anything happens. She has cut my blog time down to almost nothing till she gets it fixed.
Just wanted to let you know I am still around and the reason I haven’t been posting. I think I heard her say she was going to try to reinstall Word Press. Her blog is there, but she can’t get into the admin panel of word press and she doesn’t know why. So, stay tuned, back as soon as I can.
Later

I got to go out with mom and bev to work outside. I can run and run and run. Mom calls me and I go running fast cause I know I will get a treat for doing a “good come”, Mom gave me a big horse hoof to chew on. Boy is that a treat. I find a shady place and lay so mom can see me. (really its so I can see her) Mom and Bev are working in the greenhouse and the little garden, so I have a lot of area I can run and still see and be seen.
The run this big green and yellow thing and I have to go back in the house. Mom said something about me not being tractor-wise yet. Not sure what she means but oh well.
We went over to the boys again yesterday, the place where the 3 dogs are. Mom was pretty disappointed in me. I made a puddle in the house. I tried to go out, but the 3 dogs were outside chewing on rib bones and mom didn’t want me out there fighting. I didn’t really make a big deal of going out so mom didn’t know I really had to go. That is the first puddle in the house in almost 3 1/2 mos. Since I am only 5 mos. old, I’d say that’s not too shaby.
The 2 pigs that I always ran out to see are not there any more. Not sure where they went because mom didn’t let me out that morning. I heard mom say something about butcher.
Well, its time for chores, gotta go, see all later

Man, I am getting to be a big girl now. One of the major milestones in my life.
I can’t really believe there is much more for me to learn till I am considered all grown up. I’m sure mom will tell me though if I’d ask. She keeps telling me I am growing up, but not quite there yet.
We went to visit the ppl down the street again. Mom told me to be good, and I was. They have a little minpin that has an attitude though. I wasn’t even ni the house yet and it was posturing already. Oh well, she calmed down and all was good.
Oh well, now that I can go to the basement, I have new realms to explore and play in. Mom said something about me walking the boards she has on the floor down there. Wonder what that is all about? Humm!!!
Later everyone

Man did mom do a dumb thing a couple days ago. Would have posted sooner, but had to watch mom.
Mom, Aunt Shari and Aunt Bev were getting hay off the stack for the horses. Aunt Bev was on the stack and Mom told her to get down, that she didn’t need to be up there with her bad knee. I was tied to the side of the hay stack so I wouldn’t get hurt.
Aunt Bev got down and mom went up. She was up about 3 levels getting hay with the hay hook. I was watching from the side. Next thing I knew mom was on the ground in front of me. I couldn’t quite get to her. She looked mad when she got up. She told Bev and Shari to leave her alone. She was fine. They went in the barn and finished hauling hay in and stacking it.
Mom walked up to the house with me. She didn’t say anything. She went into the house and laid down on her bed. Somehow I knew she was hurt or hurting. I snuggled up to her as close as I could and just laid with her. She was soo still. Finally she moved and put her hand on me and petted on me. Aunt Bev came in and they talked for a few minutes and I heard that mom’s elbow and hand hurt. Next thing I knew they were leaving and I was here with Aunt Shari.
When they came back, mom had her arm in a sling and a support of some kind on her hand. She told grandma that it was for comfort more than anything and nothing was broken. But she was sure in pain.
Today she is in a lot of pain again. She went to the local clinic and they told her she had a slight Rotator Cuff and an A/C injury. He gave her some potent pain meds and said she need Physical Therapy 2 x a week for 6-8 weeks. She isn’t really too happy about it, but such is life on a farm.
Oh Oh here comes mom, gotta run, catch all later

Boy oh boy, it is sure fun being able to run with Daisy to do chores.. Mom put the leash on me at the barn though, I went thru the gate and was in with Dusty and Mom didn’t want me to get hurt accidentally by Dusty. So I had to go on the leash while at the barn. Mom took it off on the way back to the house though.
Went to the neighbors house that has the 3 dogs again. Not sure what the minpin’s problem was, but she had an attitude the minute I walked thru the door. I was properly humble cause after all it was her house. I behaved nicely the whole time we were there. Went outside a couple times just to smell around and cool down. The house was pretty warm. Mom told me I was a Good Girl and she was proud of me again.
I got to go out to do chores again this morning. I had a long leash on, but I do so love going out with mom. I am catchin on to walking on a leash too. Mom doesn’t say too much as long as I don’t pull. While she is watering animals, I get attached to the chain link fence right where mom is working. I have learned not to bark, whine, whimper etc. I know mom isn’t gonna leave me there. When she get done watering, she gets me and away we go, on to finish chores. I have noticed mom is a lot happier with me if I don’t pull and have a fit on the leash. I get farther too. When I pull too much, mom spends a lot of time turning around and going back the way she came. Not a clue what that is all about.
Think its gettin near bed time, so catch all later

Mom took me outside today on a short leash. We have a concrete wall around the yard with a flower bed on the inside and the driveway on the other side.
Mom had me get up on the wall. It is maybe 10 inches wide. Mom gave me a treat when I had all 4′s on the wall. After I walked a few feet I got another treat. Then she would throw a treat a few feet ahead of me. I would walk forward and get it. After a few time, I sorta got the idea that I was supposed to walk on the wall. I fell off a few times, (falling off consisted of an inch into the flower bed) but mom was on the driveway side so I didn’t fall that way.
She said something about it being good training for what was coming up later on. She said the plank I have to walk later in my training is about 12 inches wide. If I learn to walk one that is 10 in., a 12 will be a piece of cake.
Then mom had me walk in circles with her. Still haven’t figured out that one. But all in all I am pretty tired. I think I will go try out my new bed mom got me yesterday.
Night all

Well, I got to go to the Vet’s again today. Sarah had to go too. I was very good, even with new people and strange dogs. I only barked a couple times at the dogs. Probably shouldn’t have though, they were a lot bigger that me. Oh well. I got my second batch of puppy shots and mom talked to vet about getting fixed. I didn’t know I was broken. Something about doing my due claws at the same time I am gettin fixed
Mom got me a real nifty keen bed today too. Nice and soft and fuzzy brown. As a matter of fact, it’s almost time to use it. So, so long for now, will be back tomorrow
