I'm travelling in South Carolina, Tennessee and North Carolina this week. I hate being away from the farm, the dogs, the sheep, the work outside and of course my husband John. I travel about 10 days a month leaving John to attend to all of the chores, lambs, dogs, and expecting him to have time to feed himself.
This week is special as I fly into Buffalo on Friday and am picking up the newest addition to our doggy household. I arrive at 6:18 from Charlotte and she arrives at 6:32 from Spokane via Minneapolis. I'll make the introductions of all my other dogs and my husband when I get home and have access to all the pictures.
The newest addition is a border collie pup 15 weeks old currently named Zoey (that'll probably change). She's fluffy and tri colored....and i don't generally do fluffy dogs. Zoe is the one on the far left. Color doesn't matter really too much. I love the look of a rough coated dog...just don't love grooming them. Burrs and misc farm products have a way of working their way into the coat. Her lineage is out of Alta-Pete dogs and Diane Pagel's Delta Bluez dogs. My husband has always loved Pleat (great grandsire) (see http://www.altapletestockdogs.com/) and Scott Glen had John almost ready to offer a retirement home for Pleat but he got to stay at home with Scott & Jenny. My friend Nathalie Labelle has the red tri second from the right
We were not in the market for another puppy. But as many of us do, we will always make room for one more (what's 15 dogs when you have 14 now....). Now the fact that she has some very coated dogs in her background is a slight problem for me. We have one rough coat now, my husband's dog Dixie, and I am a self proclaimed smooth coated dog person....However I've always said I would take any dog if it worked well. I'm hoping she has all of the drive and push that we expect from her.
I will do my best to keep the blog up to date with the goings on of the new puppy and training of the older ones. Keep tuned!
By the way, the winter lambs keep coming. My husband texted me today and we had 3 more lambs today, one last night. I wish I had a picture of the one last night. It was a yearling ewe who had a very small single. Apparently John carried the lamb under one arm and the ewe under the other back to the barn. For those that don't know yearling ewes can be a bit crazy...not wanting anything to do with this crazy wet lamb that just caused them pain. I have many notes in my lambing book...crazy ewe lamb, had to tackle. I'll take some pictures this weekend.
