Slacking Update

I may have failed to mention that Daisy had five puppies on June 3rd. This picture is from day one. They are getting pretty big now. In fact we gave one away this week. For some reason I don't have many pictures off them. I better get some before they are all gone.

Found Puppy Update

Flash, originally uploaded by thejesse.

Here is a picture I took of "Flash" earlier today. She has made amazing progress in the four days since I found her. Yesterday we took her to my nephew's birthday party. Today we took her on our semi-weekly dog drive. Today's destination was the Snake River. She had a great time following us and the dogs around on the river rocks. She did a pretty good job too considering how small she is. Today was her first time meeting our big outside dogs. She seemed to get along with them much better than with our small indoor dog, Daisy.

After our river drive we dropped her off at her new home. She will be living with a good family only a few blocks from us. We had offers from three people to take her in but we chose the closest. She and Jacob had really bonded and he was very brave in letting her go live with someone else. I think it helped that she isn't far from here and will be living with a close friend of Josh.

Healthy puppy + good home = success story!

What I found today

I went out to start a pivot today and found a very young puppy. This was a quarter mile from the nearest road. I don't know how she got there but she was very weak and very thin. Callie, of course, was more than happy to take care of the pup while I drove her home.

Jake has named her "flash".

So now I am looking for a new home for an eight to ten week old puppy. I'm happy to nurse her back to health but we already have three dogs, one of which is pregnant. No dog vacancy here. If you know of someone in need of a good mutt let me know.

About the picture: The lighting is all natural. The sun was very low in the western sky, shining almost straight into the windshield after first being filtered through the trees. The lighting turned out perfect as far as I am concerned.

Copper

I couldn't decide which picture to post so I went with both of them. Both pics are from the evening of April sixth. The end of a day spent in the tractor while the dogs amused themselves by exploring the surronding sagebrush. In the end copper was pretty happy to see me park the tractor and head for home.
