“Strider!! You got’s stuff in my eye!”

February 22, 2010

At the farm where we were milking cows, poor Pippin didn’t get outside much.  We were right near a busy street, had large, ugly tempered cattle running around.  So when he did get to play, he was one happy camper, running around and sniffing and looking closely at curious things. One day, when Strider was [...]

Look out Pip!!

February 6, 2010

At the last place we just moved from, we were working a dairy.  Yeah, a cow dairy.    This dairy was a little different than a lot of other dairies though, because we were milking for their cream alone.  So as the milk came pouring through the pipes, one person was required to stand at [...]

Brrrr!!

February 4, 2010

It’s so COLD out there!  Every time I take Pip out he shivers and shivers, even when he has a sweater on.  But he loves his walks.  I suppose the walking helps him keep warm.  He trots beside me, or someone else if I get the big dog, just as happy as can be.  After [...]

Pip had a seizure last night!

January 23, 2010

Ugh, of course it’s after he gets into grain…  He stole half of my slice of bread the other day, and has gotten into popcorn more than once lately.  It was two seizures in a row, and now he’s all bruised up from his violent convulsions.  He smelled awful too, don’t know if it was [...]

Moved again, UPDATE

January 10, 2010

Ok, so we’ve moved again and are now in a tiny town.  We live only a few blocks from the library, and have no fence around our yard.  But Pip’s happy.  We share our room with my sisters, but it’s the attic and it’s all ours.  Pippin’s convinced that the room belongs to him, and [...]

“Is This Just the Way it is? I Seem to Fall by the Wayside When This Happens.”

November 21, 2009

I know what you’re saying.  “Where have you been?  Last post the beginning of March, tardiness in the extreme!”   Sorry, very sorry.   Quite a lot has been going on, not the least of which includes moving again.   Yeah, we’re no longer at the ranch, and the cowardly female dog plagues Pip no more.   I’ve [...]

“How DARE You Try to Steal my Bone!” – Part 2

March 10, 2009

This is the Second part of the story.  Read yesterday’s post to read it from beginning to end. I gave the harshest and ugliest yell I could muster, but the cowardly female (as I already knew she was) gave a guilty jump as soon as she saw me.  It was a good thing for her [...]

“How DARE You Try to Steal my Bone?!!” – Part 1

March 9, 2009

Recently, we got a cow to butcher, and Dad cut the meat up himself.  That gave us complete control over what we kept and what we threw out (and there was very little of that!).  Of course, much of the outside of the beef was not exactly good enough for human consumption, but was just [...]

BOING! *screech of surprise* “I- I didn’t know it was there!”

February 24, 2009

About a week ago, I let Pippin outside to do his stuff before we went to bed.  When he didn’t come back quickly, I peeked out to see where he was.  Vaguely I could see him sniffing around outside the cattle gate, down by where we burn trash.  I called him back, and though I [...]
