Whiskey and Mary Lou
January, 2006
The one thing that I was
looking for in a new "farm"
dog was the ability to let
me know when something just
wasn't right. Whiskey is
already keenly aware of what
does and doesn't belong
where. I was really
impressed this morning.
Whiskey is still a house dog
so to speak. Loose outside
when there is someone around
to hang out with, but always
inside at night. He
ususally barks to remind me
that the alarm is about
ready to go off so I get up
and let the three dogs out.
It wasn't 2 minutes and he
started raising a fuss
barking and yipping. I went
out to find him and found
him standing between the
pony (who was loose having
ducked the fence and in
heat) and the stud out in
his pen. Saved fixing fence
or a hurt horse. It was
great. Since I asked him to
help the other day, he's
become quite the helper when
I go to move the colts.
It's great, it's just
amazing at his young age all
the things he instinctively
knows.
Talk
to you later, Michele.
