If I could find half the stuff my kids have run off with, my tool bench wouldn’t look so bare. My 4 year old had my rubber mallet stashed under her bed? My boy has broke or lost several step in posts for the hot wire. The two year old is playing barbies with a set of needle nose pliers. I’ve finally put a lock on the garage and children are banned.
So far my manger hasn’t happened yet, I’ve had a few projects take precedence over that. Like a new roof, fixing the back deck, firewood. There went the savings account. Bella has an interesting relationship with Dotty the ewe and I don’t know if I like it. When we do our little training sessions Bella will be merciless to any sheep that would try to get out of line. You stay with the human, those are the rules... unless you’re dotty. If Dotty leaves with someone else, her companion will get the full attention leaving Dotty to run off. But she’ll sniff Dotty, she’ll lick Dotty, she babies her. I don’t know if it’s because they grew up together or what. Bella came here as a puppy about the same time I brought Dotty home as a two day old lamb, and I remember being so impressed with how Bella treated the lambs, she was a terror on the older sheep (remember the udder dragging incident) but the lambs were exempt. Hopefully this is something she will grow out of with age and training, she’s only a year old. I’m all for playing nice, but you can’t make exemptions when working Bella!
Course she’s a little moody right now, she just entered her first heat and she doesn’t seem to be loving it. Now I get to chase Jessie away every day as he starts his dog run vigil.
