The Well Behaved Dingo

I’m lucky today. This morning I found a twenty laying in the middle of Main Street. Then I found four quarters on the sidewalk. I went to the library, they let me get my library card with a postcard I sent to myself (there was some speculation by my dad they wouldn’t take it) and [...]

Scherzo howled her first howl! We were outside at a Pow-Wow when a fire truck and ambulence went right past. It was the sweetest sound mine ears have ever heard! And it only took her two years to build up the guts to make it!
She then ate her first Antelope meat ever for dinner. She [...]

Scherzo has been getting my goat these last couple days! It all started with Ruby, a horse, who was supposed to have my little chitlin- a colt.

 
Scherzo tried to play with a porcupine today and got a chin full of quills, a funny little goatee of them. She didn’t even seem to notice them until I pulled out my leatherman and tried to remove one. Well, it was pretty obvious she wasn’t going to sit still, that it would be very [...]

The vet had checked Ruby earlier that day and said shed be having the foal that night. So we drove out to see little Chitlin, as I wanted to call him, arriving around 10:30pm. It was 10 degrees and a blizzard, so we ran straight from the van to the cabin, knowing Mac’s mom would [...]

Well after talking about it for the last couple days and deciding first that I probably shouldn’t have to work on my birthday and then, after conceding to work, that I shouldn’t have to get up early on my birthday, Randy woke me up a 7 AM to help him make a shed for the [...]

Last night we slept near a park, and we really slept in. I woke up all warm, with scherzo snuggled in my arms snoring. When she sleeps in human orientation its so nice, but when she sleep horizontal on the bed and then lays on top of the my blankets it’s hell! She pushes me [...]

We worked on 50 ft recall today, and scherzo loved it. She came and sat nicely every-time, the only trouble was that we were calling her between us and she kept wanting to run back before we’d called. So we had to hold her, which built up her drive even more. We ended with some [...]

The door to the shop is broken and has no handle. We were inside working today with the dogs crowded around the door wishing they could come in. Well apparently Scherzo has not forgotten a trick we taught her as a puppy: how to open doors. We taught her by saying “get UP door”, so [...]
