I took Cowboy to the park. Hide and seek didn’t work . He kept to close of a watch on me. So I ask him to sit and stay at the pavilion. He did as a I ask. When I hollered come he ran straight to me, and past a few steps.😂😂🐕❤️

An Ole Cowboy once said “ You are blessed if you have one good dog and one good horse in your lifetime “. I’ve been truly blessed with lots of good dogs and many good horses but 4 horses that I’ve had that special bond with. One that will test your limits and make you the best that you can be and vice versa. They can read your slightest body movement , even when no one else can even see you move. They can read my mind or mood and know what kind of ride that I need on any given day. It’s like we are one when new are together. If you ever have a chance to bond with an animal, horse or dog, you will know what I mean. They are nit JUST a horse or dog. They are part of your heart forever. Lots of pieces of my heart are already at the rainbow bridge waiting on me. I guess we will have to cross it two at a time. We don’t want to make it collapse with all my special animals.🥰🐎🐎🐎🐎🐕🐕🐕🐩🐩🐩🦜🦜🦜🕊️🕊️🕊️

Peaches loves her older brother Zak. Just like a pesky little sister always being a pest when he’s trying to sleep.😂😂🐕🐩. #standardpoodle #belgianmalinois

Peaches insisted on taking the stick home. I told her it wouldn’t fit in the truck. Well she proved me wrong again.

I waited for the dogs to get to the far end of the field out of sight. I slipped in the woods to hide from them and then hit the beeper button on my @Invirox_ training collar. All three of the dogs know to come back to me when they hear the beep. They all came running back, of course Peaches in the lead. They stopped up short. When they must have wind scented me. Zach stopped and looked around but did not see me so he headed on for the cart, which is the last place that he had seen me. It didn’t take him long to come running back to where he last smelled me. Peaches was on my trail in no time I’m not sure if it was all from scent or maybe she caught movement of me trying to video them . Either way it was a fun activity for all.

Yesterday the dogs and I went for a walk in the woods. They took off running after something like they always do. Peaches came back to me first in just a few minutes. It wasn’t long and cowboy came running back and then Jack dog. As they were walking in front of me, I could tell cowboy had a little different gate. By the time we got home I could tell that he was hurt. He went out back, so I went out to check on him and examine what wounds I could find. The only mark on him was that one little cut on his leg. But he would not put the leg down and walk on it. After I checked it out and found no other injuries and his leg was actually moving right. I gave him some anti-inflammatory and pain, medicine, along with some antibiotics. And put some anabiotic ointment on the wound but of course he licked it off immediately. it was late and there was no way of getting a hold of a vet to see if I had done the right things. This morning cowboy is walking normal again. He is walking on the leg. So now it’s just a matter of getting the puncture wound healed up. We will never know exactly what happened. He could’ve impaled himself on a stick or a limb, while he was running so hard. Or he could’ve got a hold of a beaver, possibly because I can sure leave a wound like that. As long as he is better is all that matters to me. 🐕❤️

Thus us Gunner . He is a 3 year old Quarter Horse. And he loves to run!!! I wish I had someone younger that would like to run barrels or some other speed competitions with him. I have ridden him quite a bit . But I’m to old for speed events now.

There’s nothing like a refreshing shower after a hot trail ride. For the horses I like to get the salt from their sweat off of them. I’m not sure who got wetter the horse or me. Oh well on a hot day it doesn’t matter.🐎🤠

It was a relaxing trail ride yesterday. All the dogs went with me. Even though Cowboy was still a little afraid and kept his distance. He must have gotten kicked when a couple of other people rode with me a while back. I didn’t see it happen but he wasn’t afraid before that ride. Give him a few more rides and he will get over his fear.

I finally have all the dogs spinning when I ask them to and sometimes when I don’t ask.😂🐕🐕🐩❤️. #dogobediencetraining #standardpoodle #belgianmalinois

Peaches was helping me pickup limbs that had fallen from the stormed last night. When I ask her to get the one out in the road I wasn’t expecting her to get all tripped up. She usually drags them by the stump end.🐕😂🐕

Sunday afternoon was a stormy day. We have been having a drought lately and then Saturday we had about an inch of rain which saturated the ground. This was a friend of ours about a mile from our house. The house was a two-story house. The man was sitting in the downstairs living room, watching TV. His wife is in the laundry room. The tree came down between the both of them. The tree took out the front porch and came down through the upstairs. Some of the lambs Are sticking through the upstairs into the house. The owner said they never lost their electricity. Even though the tree is across the house they have stayed in the downstairs part of the house. It’s amazing there were no injuries.
