You sure?


BooBoo comes with me every evening to put the cows through to their evening field. We have to move Lady Astor far away from the barn where her big calf sleeps or she opens the door and lets him out. 

He is stood here looking at me for the “bring ’em up” instruction. When I make this call he will leap at the cows heel (he is a heeler) and they will pop straight through the gate.

But these two big beasties stopped right inside the gate and looked awfully big all of a sudden. They know where they are going so there is seldom much herding to be done. However we do need to shut that gate!

So, yes BooBoo – bring ’em up.

This really is Boo’s favorite job and he enjoys being able to work off leash at last.

It is Monday and I have family arriving on Wednesday so you can imagine the list. Murphy’s Law determined that the belt broke on the mower too.

Ah well.

I hope you have a lovely day.

  1. Hey, Philosopher Mouse! Love your comparison of cow thinking to human thinking! Some think there is nothing above their eyes and run smack into things! Had a cat like that…. Happy for you Ceci, that you will soon be amongst family! Is this your California kin?

  2. I have not been getting notification as I’m juggling borrowed laptops for a while. Good to see everyone still here. I have a guest coming in Wednesday as well for a week. Keeping up is going to be a challenge for me and I don’t have a farm with animals to care for. Hope it all goes well for you and the mower is an easier than expected repair.
