There is a website where people are seeking different positions in any industry that includes room & board. Young (and old) people across the world apply in the hopes
of finding something that allows them to : travel to a different place, learn new skills, meet new people. It’s a great way to...
Had to go in for chest xrays and labs. Boone was a really gud boi in the hospital. Usually I am waiting with him but I had to put him in a down and told him to stay with Randy while I was gone. Everyone in the waiting room let me know he was a good boy while I was gone. He was clearly happy to...
Halfway packed and low pressure system brought rain and seems to have triggered both my RA & Fibro. Usually the latter doesn’t raise its ugly head and cause me much trouble. It came on like a dragon this time 😬
Plus I’m having breathing problems that are a little scary. So will be leaving a...
Boone has done such a great job combining his Service Dog bond with his Livestock Guardian heritage. He’s always at my side, but he does do short perimeter checks when he goes to relieve himself. At night, he wakes up from a seemingly sound sleep (but I know he sleeps lightly at night because he...
Boone and I are going on a road trip!! Now that we have 2 working vehicles, I can leave the ranch and go see people I love that I haven’t seen for years 😍. I can hardly believe it.
Boone won’t be too thrilled, but most driving days will be shorter than the trips we take to town, the longest...
My son Cody just guided an elk hunt and harvested a 418 3/8 elk.
You wouldn’t expect to find a Boone&Crocket sized bull in S California would you?
They are there.
Went to town yesterday. Had to drop one of the semi’s off at the yard in Burns for the guys fighting fire (which is everyone on the ranch except Randy, he keeps the equipment running so they can)
Had him drop me and Boone off at the ranch store while he ran all of his errands that normally keep...
Bless you.
Supposed to be thunderstorms all day but if we get any rain with it, maybe it will wash the smoke out of the air.
I miss my family. I wish I could go home but my home was lost to me 20 years ago and there’s only one way off of this ranch, since the man refuses to ever leave here...
Rough week. I’ve been a lot sicker recently. Extreme fatigue, can’t keep down food or meds, consequently pain etc is increasing exponentially, depression and lonliness is becoming too overwhelming to battle. I feel so lost. Why God chose to isolate me here with no friends or family then lose my...
Ran across some pics I took a few years back when my health was better
A couple of horses playing in the corral after we brought the cavvy in
Repositioning the heel rope
Gettin’ western!
Tough way to lose weight but I don’t mind sleeping through an illness, as long as someone else can tend the critters…beats knowing how crummy I feel! 😂
Got another kidney infection. They are frequent because of the autoimmune, but dang it gets old! Bought antibiotics online last time as getting to a Dr here is ridiculous, not just the distance but the quickest is weeks and norm is 3 months away
On top of that something has triggered my back...
Went to Burns yesterday. Spent several miles trying to adjust Boone’s safety vest and finally tethered it to the car seat thing behind the back seat. Made the trip much better for all of us.
We stopped by the vets office on the way in to weigh him and he’s 123 lb right now @ 11 mo old. I don’t...
