I wouldn’t trade these two for the world. Rika herds beautifully and Ivy is learning fast. Only thing that could be better would be riding my own horse, but these folks have some good ones.

Had a decent day, couple of guys wanted ru go into town tonight so I drove on the condition they buy my food. [emoji38]

Rika is a Czech Shepherd, Ivy is the same mixed with Dutch Shepherd and Belgian Malinois.

Same old Buckaroo as usual. Going to spend a few days helping gather cattle off BLM land, planning to run the dogs. Rika knows how to heard.

That’s why I’ve avoided the hot irons so far. I want to get my brand in the same place it’s registered for my stock, with the lyrics from an old Hank Williams song in a circle around it. “Though I may struggle and strive, I’ll never get out of this world alive.” I’ve thought about having the...

Old thread, but I did a search and it came up. I’m headed to get my first tattoo this week. It’s a portrait of my dog, Ivy on my chest above my heart. This dog has been a hugely positive influence on my life and I really do treat this animal like my daughter. It started out as a desire many...

Dopey and Derpface.

Long story short, I ended up in Cody, WY tonight so I figured I may as well go to the bar. Having a bacon cheeseburger, onion rings and few Blacktooth Brewing Saddle Broncs. Local Wyoming brewery and pretty good beer. Couple of young, slightly intoxicated couples in the back at the pool tables...

Coffee from the Hat Six travel center, a bag of beef jerky I split with the dogs and a cheap cigar. Ever wonder how life gets you to where you are?

Yes, that's him. I think the second is Shadows of the Wind. I bought a misprint of the first one and it was so good I dealt with reading two pages forward, one page back for the entire book. I didn't want to put it down long enough to go buy a proper copy. I ended up finding a good copy in a...

I appreciate the sentiment, but I’ll leave the writing to the others. “The Last Buckaroo” is one of my favorite books, I can’t recall the author though. He did two in that sere s and they’re both magnificent. There are a bunch of guys like me still. Ran into a guy once who described folks like...

Made it two weeks with the dude string. Deadheaded horses and I couldn’t tell the riders were much different. I had no idea so many people “used to be” ranch hands and rodeo cowboys and still manage to screw up sitting on some animal that doesn’t do anything but plod around the same old loop...

Alone Stick around to the end of the video, it’s two songs.

That’s my girl. Where I go, she goes. Super alert, very energetic, her canine family members all have good jobs and she’s probably going to start bite work in a couple weeks and herding in the spring.
