Between seasons
Thursday, October 14, 2021 It’s snowing again and I just watched our guardian dog Charlotte move 2 of the last alpacas into the barn. Queen Ester and baby Raina decided they’d stay out in the snow but Charlotte had other … Continued
Rainy Friday
Friday, October 8, 2021 Rain all day today is welcome. It will test our new anti-flooding trench in the boys pasture and add much needed moisture to the rest of the pastures as they get ready for a long rest. … Continued
Where was he?
Saturday, October 2, 2021 The online store is open and I hope you’ll enjoy shopping! I’ll be adding things and tweaking things all month long but I’m happy with it for now. You can check it out here Blue gave … Continued
More dog stories
Sunday, September 12, 2021 With as many people as we had working here last week it was bound to happen. A car pulled in the driveway and the driver said “I think one of your dogs is out”. Oy. So … Continued
An unfortunate evening
Thursday, September 2, 2021 We were all awakened last night by some pretty intense barking and weird screeching in the girls’ pasture. Oh oh. All I could see with my flashlight was Blue and Charlotte in some sort of tussle … Continued
Every day is dog day here!

Just a coincidence?
Tuesday, August 3, 2021 Well, we’ve made it though one week without our big boy Chief. And I have to share some coincidences with you. Chief loved to chase trucks as they went down the road. Oh he stayed on … Continued
Life goes on
Wednesday, July 28, 2021 Thank you so much for all the comments on the loss of our big boy Chief. The hurt is deep but to know how many people shared feelings of sadness helps. The rain that came shortly … Continued
Rest in Peace Big Boy. Job well done.
Tuesday, July 27, 2021 You have no idea how much I do not want to write this post, typing through tears. But we lost our best boy Chief yesterday and he has quite a few fans out there who deserve … Continued
