To all who washed the car, did their hair, hang out laundry and planned a BBQ: THANKS YOU!! Real rain for the 1st time in 2 months, YEAH!

@WelshNational11 Where can we find the running order and participants lists?

[Caninature @Chiens]

So much for trying to look nice for once. :-)

[Caninature @Chiens]

Coming back from an event, I went out in the field still in dress and girlie shoes, and one of the dogs I train every week growled at me...

I am applying for a Google+ account. It's cute how they play dumb and ask for my personal information...

[Caninature @Chiens]

If I can find a way to work in a Paul Atreides citation during the day, I might get lucky tonight... :-)

Hubby heard me quote Lord of the Rings and looked at me beaming with proud love.

With Lad, my senior, who I had brought along so he'd have a nice day out. I really need to start getting clever about these things, sigh...

"Hey you, grain lady! You made a mistake! I'm not supposed to be here; I don' even know these people!! Get me out of here! Hey!!"

[Caninature @Chiens]

I moved a ewe to a different group of sheep yesterday, and she was not happy about it. I heard her bleat by the fence all night:

[Caninature @Chiens]

Four hours of "My mouth has the wrong shape!", "My tongue is too big!" and "Are you sure this thing is working??" ...

[Caninature @Chiens]

Hubby spent all the trip home last night trying to learn to use my herding whistle.

[Caninature @Chiens]

I'm gambling that I'll have enough grass and have doubled my flock this spring. Gutsy/stupid? We'll know in a couple of months...

[Caninature @Chiens]

More sheep delivered. Facing a 3d year of draughts, all farmers around are giving up and selling their live stock.

[Caninature @Chiens]

No, you don't need to switch to hi-activity feed. The reason your dog gets tired after 10 mins is that he's overweight & out of shape!

[Caninature @Chiens]

YES, it worked!!! Am organising a big bbq AND I left the car windows open, and now it's raining for the first time in 3 months!!! YEAH!!!

Bonus: I had no idea I knew so many French swear words! :-D
