Co-Pilot

Me and my co-pilot.

Headed off to pull out some fence posts.

Pals

Good Puppy

I've been dragging corrals the last week or two to get em' ready for scraping manure. Ahhh tis' the season for manure spreading! Err, at least manure scraping. I think I will be blessed with manure spreading when Texas and I get back from our honeymoon in August.

Anyways, back to the point of this post. While I drag the corral for hours on end, I make Stoney go lay down, preferably in a shaded spot. There's no point in him following the tractor in circles for 3 or 4 hours while getting covered in manure dust.

I just love how he's SUCH a good boy!! He lays in his little spot for hours with his eyes on me the whole time. And when I do get off the tractor and tell him the shows over, this boy's motor goes in overdrive. I don't think he could run any faster to me than he does after laying in cow crap for hours.

How They Keep Entertained

We've been going to a lot of barrel races the last month or two. We try to go to one a week if they are close by. Texas and I hook up the truck and trailer, throw the dogs in the truck bed, and tie the ponies up in the trailer. The dogs are responsible for keeping themselves entertained for a couple hours at the barrel races. They've definitely been getting creative in how they kill time.

You would never know these two aren't blood brothers. Two peas in a pod.

Tanning

I've been trying to soak up the sun as much as I can these days - in hopes of not having a farmers tan for my wedding!

When I can, I like to lay out (thoroughly layered in SPF, mind you, I'm still fair skinned) to even out my ever growing farmer's tan.

 Don't tell anyone, but I think Stoney enjoys his tanning sessions, too. :)

Makeup King

Some little pup was curious about my Cowgirl Makeup.

Silly boy. Just let us women handle the makeup.

Now, go chase some cows or your tail or something.

Mama, Don't

Mama?

Mama, don't forget me here!

Run With The Cows

Who wants to Run with the Bulls when you can Run with the Girls?

It's almost as dangerous... if your name is Stoney!

Besties

Buddies

Dos and Stoney.

I tried getting a picture of them that wasn't blurry, but they were play fighting the whole time and moving around. Such sweet little friends.

Not A Fan

Poor Stoney... we got a lot of rain (yay!!) this last weekend and last week... and the boys were still expected to "load up" and lay down in the back of the truck bed to get around the ranch. 

This was Stoney's pitiful idea of laying down.. I watched him hold this position for several minutes while driving.

Bone Hog

Our dogs are somewhat, Bone Hogs. When we give them bones to chew on, they always seem to think the other bone is better. This leads to one or both of them stealing the other's bone, over and over again. In the world of a Bone Hog, there is no room to chance losing one's bone over a little shut-eye. 

Much to another Bone Hog's dismay...

What You Don't Know About This Picture

It's raining.

It's a Dog Eat Dog World

These boys love play fighting.
