Spring time for lambs

Five bummer lambs have come to the farm. They have given purpose to being awake at 5:30 in the morning. Three are old enough to be bottle fed 3 times a day the two younger ones need to be fed more often. For some idea of how small the lambs are, they currently all sleep together in an extra large dog crate. They will likely spend the summer here  to keep the grass eaten off the front half acre then join the big flock for the winter. More pictures coming.

WHAT ? Snow in March!

The dogs have been having a great time today! Lots of wet stuff to play in, at least it's not muddy.

Foster dog Max

Max comes to us after being rescued from euthanasia by a kind woman. He's moved right in claiming a spot on the couch like he's been here forever. He's likely a mix of Border Collie and a small breed dog, very muscular. So far he's been quiet and shy. More about him soon.

                                       

Merry Christmas one and all

Many will remember Enzo from earlier posts. His mom, Dorinda, shared this adorable photo today. Border Collies do make the best reindeer don't they. Enzo is in the center with his roomies Zip and Tig. 

We wish you a Merry Christmas.

And a Happy New Year too!

Christmas grooming

They are so shiny and soft after their holiday baths. Had to add pictures of the Libby and Fiona the "dirty" little doggies too ;-) Thanks Sue at Doggy Styles here in Shedd. They're beautiful.

Fostering Break

Since bring the terriers into our lives last year we haven't fostered many Border Collies ourselves. Libby is so small we don't want to risk harm to her. Also our senior dogs, Bonzie and Bud, don't enjoy the company of canine guests like they once did. At some point in the future we"ll likely have fosters here again. For now we will continue to help place BCs using fellow rescuer help and rescue websites. 

Nearly seven pounds of love

How embarrassing to have the whole wide web know how much you weigh. Plus having a bad hair day just awful just awful. ;-)
