Gus here, I just wanted to clear some things up. First of all Olive should not be aloud to use the computer no telling what she might say! Second its very hard to be farm boss and we can’t all be perfect. I know that Mom thinks that she is farm boss but really my Dad is farm boss but since he has to be at his other job I have to do the job here. We like to let…
This post comes from the desk of Olive, she wanted you all to know Gus’s true colors! Well fall has arrived here in New York very cold (did I mention I come from Georgia) and now it is also raining. Any good southern girl can appreciate a good mud pile and I am no different. Thursday it started raining and man did I love splashing in the puddles, but by midday Friday those puddles have turned muddy. This is Saturday…
The most useful farm tool that I have is by far our Border Collie Gus, he proves to be helpful more than I can count. I know that if the sheep we’re to get out that I wouldn’t have to much trouble getting them back with Gus’s help (Purdy is another story) which is a load off my mind. This morning when I went down to do morning chores I saw that Jenny one of the brown spotted ewes had…
We lovingly call her squish and olive but mostly she is swamp monster. She finds all the dirt outside wallows like a pig in mud holes and eat everything. I am constantly yelling what are you eating most times it sticks and socks. She is the most amazing little dog and is always happy. Olive is a very bright and seems to know when I’m upset as I suddenly find myself covered in squishy Olive.
I absolutely love this dog toy! Crinkits not only satisfy my dogs irrational need to kill water bottles but they are very durable. Gus has had the same Cricket for about a year and still loves it. Crinkit also floats which makes it super fun for water loving dogs. This toy comes in several colors including pink, orange and blue. This toy also comes pre stuffed with a water bottle meaning its fun chewing time for your pup the…
I spent several hours today with Olive trying to make sense of our filing cabinet. Armed with my label maker, box for burn items, and stuffed Kong toy for Olive we dove in. Olive as always was an angel and happily chewed while I spread papers all over the basement. Once everything was empty I started labeling. I began with bills we pay monthly followed by other things we need to file. After I was done I felt so relieved…
Let me tell you about mushrooms. I love mushrooms in my salad, I love mushrooms on a veggie tray. I really love mushrooms to dip in veggie dip or humus. You know where I hate mushrooms? My backyard and inside my dogs. Gus had a run in with mushrooms last fall while my mom was in town. This led to my mom helping me dose my dog with hydrogen peroxide (my husband calculated the dose for me). Gus puked and…
Jeff went out fly fishing yesterday and decided to take our border collie Gus with him. In my mind I imagined this beautiful scene of my handsome husband casting his line into the rippling stream as a light snow fell. Gus our regal border collie laying on the bank patiently waiting for his master to be done fishing. Well, apparently this is not how Gus’s first fly fishing trip went. When Jeff came home I asked how he…
