Margali's Griffin Wood Ranch

[Margali]

@Ridgetop She's going to neighboring houses to lay on their shady concrete porches. I think it is so hot she has zero F's to give for the sheep. The home acre where sheep are grazing now has a cedar with branches to ground and several storage containers with shady pots dug underneath. She can be comfy and watch sheep at same time so she's staying in home acre.

Day 2 of the sheep grazing in home acre. Hera stayed on property and came running for breakfast. I've started splitting their meal into morning and night due to heat. Leo was on the vacant property but came home at sound of his name and feed pans banging together. Maybe this will work out?

I'm so tired and heart is acting up from all the activity last weekend.

Try to keep the dogs happy and get through the summer heat. And please try to go a little easy on yourself.

The dogs chilling together under the trampoline. Biscuit is on the run line. He like to bark at sheep thru fence and haven't tested him on attitude yet.

Did I miss something? Who is Biscuit, and how long has he been around?

I also have been co-opted into a new project. Meet Biscuit he is an Australian Cattle Dog crossed with (Australian? Anatolian?) shepard. I don't think German because of semi-drop ears, white feet, and size. He's 14lbs at 3 months. Bruno is enjoying his new playmate but is SURE I love him more.

Ok, I searched and found it. Was quite a while ago! This is from the coffee thread, and I do skip a lot of pages on that one. Just can’t keep up with it!

Biscuit is doing good at being a noisy alert dog. He doesn't test the fence between home acre and paddocks. He just rushes over and barks if the sheep are grazing by the fence. He is not fretting to get to sheep while they are grazing near house either. This is a current picture of him.

Finally caught 2409 ram lamb to wether him. He's right at 3 months old. Hopefully all the ewes were already bred back by Mr Snickers.

Dottie LPH19 could be due as early as July 21st. Everyone else is due before September 13th.

Walked back to look at the pond. Massive water level change in just a few weeks. I have a floating pond fountain on order to try and keep it areated for the fish.

Stupid heart went from mild pain back to seriously bad. This time the single lead ECG looks normal except that I'm laying down and pulse is going 78-110.

Halter monitor is tomorrow. Something shows up.
