A tired dog is a happy dog. No truer phrase.

Mornin', y'all!


Soggy , gray morning here, but a lot pleasanter than it was yesterday evening! The wind built all day, and was sustained over 30 mph and gusting over 50 by the time I did the evening feeding. The poor horses were so rattled by all the tree branches blowing down, they were almost too spooky to eat their dinner. I must admit, I wasn't exactly serene myself; watching trees thrashing around like that (especially the dead ones) makes it a little hard to keep my mind on my work; thoughts keep straying to escape routes every time a gust comes up. We got maybe half an inch of rain out of all that drama. Not that I'm complaining; this system produced tornadoes from Texas to Florida, so if all we got was a bit of bluster, I'm grateful.

And this morning, we have no internet. Don't know if there's a connection there or not.

My last free-ranging rooster got taken by a fox mid-morning a couple of days ago. His sole remaining female companion is locked up by herself, but I don't want to leave her that way; any advice on introducing her to an established group without getting her killed?

Poor rooster and poor grieving widow.
Is there any possibility of getting her another rooster?

Back when I lived in the flood house at the foot of the hill from where I am now, there was a large section of wooded trails I'd run the dogs through. After the 2011 flood, they were buried and I couldn't go in there any longer.
Today, I noticed that someone had cleared out new trails.
Bella reminded me of her past life when she initially refused to go in. I had to grab her collar and lead her in. Once we'd gone about 15 ft along the trail, she was pulling so I let her go. She and Skittles had a blast in the new setting and are now passed out.
If you zoom in on this picture you can see the big grin on Skittles face.

It is nice to see the dogs having fun!
