Puppy Love

Meet our new additions!

Lupita

&

Banjo




We now have 18 chickens, 2 cats and 3 dogs. Rufus' days are numbered here on the ranch, sadly. We did find him a good home, no kids and lotsa room to run so he should be pretty happy. With his departure coming up we needed to get a replacement: a dog who can protect us from wild beasts out here, have fun with our kids but also understand his place BELOW them and be a good companion for Seth at work. We wanted to train up a puppy, not an older dog, so that we can really be sure they understand their place in our family from the very beginning. Our friends have cattle dogs/queenslands and we really like their personality so we decided to look for one and found them pretty quick. Went in to get one and came out with two. They are sooo sweet and adorable. Just like newborns, they just want to be held all the time right now-pretty sweet. So these are our new guardians. And like so many of our neighbors small animals, we are hoping they don't become coyotes next meal ;)
