Sad Day

Yesterday was a sad day at the Lough Ranch. BL buried his old coyote hunting dog, Cindy. In her day she was one of the best! The winter was hard on the old gal, she was only eating canned food, and did not come out of her box much. Over the last week, she quit eating, and was looking really old. I'm sure she is in a much better place... eating steaks, chasing and catching coyotes. Run free, Cindy Lou!

Say cheese!

The girls are posing for a picture to put on Grandma 's wall. Slacker Mom (me) has not updated their picture since they have had school pictures taken... just a few years. I can't help the fact that the "others" are picture freaks and update every 6 months. The top one is my favorite, they are models! I think the photographer needs to work on the backgrounds. Maybe we should wait for their dance pictures???

Happy Earth Day! We love the warm sunshine, blue sky, and green growing grass.

Bottle Babies

Buffalo Bill and Tiny Tim are a few of the newest creatures here on the Lough Ranch. Bill is

gi-normous, that is a cross between gigantic and enormous. Tim is his brother... and half his size. They have the same sire, Sun-seeker. Both Tim and Bill will accompany the girls to the DC Fair in the Cattleman's bucket-bottle calf class. Yes, Halfpint is finally old enough to take a calf to the fair... that is if "we" can get them broke to lead... I will pull some calf breaking experience out of my old suitcase. Oh, those were the days of Dad instructing and coaching, but NOT doing. I might need some new lessons on stepping back and only watching, same experiences... different side!

Dance

Our dancing bears had pictures last Saturday. The recital is in a few weeks... we can't wait!
