Say Helloses to Moses

[Blue Sky]

Not to beat a dead horse but I miss Smitty and Crockett. They took care of so many little details. Smitty in particular liked the hens and they liked him. At the other farm there was a power pole light all night. The chickens would chase June bugs/May beetles late at night and he would lay down near it and they would stuff themselves then roost next to or on him if it was chilly. Wish I’d gotten a picture. Moses will come along maybe not to that degree but he’ll get there.

Chickens are such erratic, suicidal squeaky toys, it’s a challenge even for the most stalwart of puppies. They look like such fun playmates but they just don’t last. I know when Potamus was still an adolescent, I was wishing I had a pterodactyl to train him with. But he wound up being the best with the chickens, actually grieving after I processed meaties..

You are not beating a dead horse. We understand you.

We all miss our better than precious pets. I so miss my Titan, and he's been gone for over 3 years. I'm taking his ashes with me when I get cremated.

There are outstanding dogs that stay with us long after they are gone. You are in a crowd that totally understands.

No doubt about that - we get it. Why? because we all have that incredible bond and respect that goes both way.
Pawprints on our hearts and they leave a legacy for others to follow.

Thank you everyone for your comments. I was thinking about doing portraits of the boys but can’t face it just yet. Moses went out with the sheep by himself this morning. He’s a year and 8 months so there’s still a lot of growing up to do. Very puppyish in a lot of ways.

I think portraits would be a good idea. When your heart is ready.

Posted on coffee thread, moved it here for you.

I would have put this in the Moses thread but no results found after typing the proper title. Oh well. This afternoon Moses noticed coyotes stalking the flock on the lower pasture and charged down there faster than I thought he could go. Caddo was right behind him. I caught this because I was checking a gate and loitering to watch stuff. Good Boys! Good good boys! Not the same guarding styles as Smitty and Crockett but effective. I’m surrounded by heavy timber, doggos have to work.

Thanks Bay. I think I misspelled Helloses.

Thanks Bay. I think I misspelled Helloses.

It rhymes with Moses. It’s cute.
