Ours for a month...

View of our trial field


As most people know Ron and I have a full time ranch hand at Canines N Ewe. Why? (sometimes I even wonder) ...but we have him because...WE WORK! We have a full time kennel, 100 head of sheep, and plenty of "other creatures" big and small! Is the job difficult? Well no if you have 8 free hours of the day. Daily duties consist of checking sheep in the morning, grazing sheep in the afternoon, and letting young dogs out to relieve themselves once daily...Leon does a mediocre job of taking care of the sheep, does a great job at handling and caring for dogs...(that's the reason he has a job...still). Every year we give Leon the month of November off so he can go home to New Mexico and visit family..


Babe our dinner

Llucy our "flock guard"

So....This is it!! Ron and I are in charge!! Yeah for a whole month, I don't have someone besides Ron in our house YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!! Menu for dinner will be fish sticks and fries !!!  So yes it's a big busy month, besides having the ranch to ourselves, which brings a tremendous work load, we are lambing, we have a clinic, students on Wed. and Sat., we are having 20 for Thanksgiving Dinner, and don't forget we are trying to get the logistics of the Snowbirds Trial underway!! We never complain about work load, but I am happy to say, I cannot wait to see my hubby at the barnyard, for some well needed laughter and fun!!
