| Lucky that there is only two. We had a female that when she messed around with the neighbors it would end up with six or more!

Every once in awhile you need to give your help a little time for "socializing" on their own-- and every 3 year old needs a puppy- or two....
Just think of how much more help you'll have in a couple of years...Kids and dogs....

Yep- Silver I would be lost without my dogs...
Sunday I moved cows over into the summer pasture- wasn't far- mostly just getting them gathered in the pasture they are in- and pointed toward the gate...But because of all the ruckus about new Grandbaby and all- my normal volunteer help wasn't volunteering....So I just took Jud, Cocoa, and Sam and the 4 wheeler...Most the cows were in the hills, so I rode along the ridges and the dogs brought them out of the draws- onto the flats where they bunched them and got them started heading out....
From there on there was nothing to do except follow along- as those old cows knew where they were going- and the dogs kept any stragglers moving on....

Well, I was thinking along those lines myself. Dad wants to take one, as his dog is down to three legs and getting up in years, and I guess we'll take the other. Both parents are pretty handy with cows, so I guess we'll see how the pups make out. Now the kids may be a different story as their parents aren't quite so handy  |
Seems like I remember the story about how the dog got 3 legged,road hunters ? if I remember right.
That little girl has claimed one for sure,both puppies and your little girl,are as cute as can be.
good luck |
Thanks Hay Maker. Yes, someone shot the poor fellas hind leg off, but he's still pretty capable and covers lots of ground. But he's about 8 yrs old now, and I expect he'll stove up quicker than most four legged types.

I had a bitch whelp in the Motor Home while we were on the Working Dog Show Circuit in Medford, Oregon
One pup was born dead…
V_Key was 3 or 4 years old and had many Questions.
People thought I was NUTS but I let “V” carry the dead puppy around for most of the day and just answered the Many Questions she had.
“Number One” No It Doesn’t Hurt!
