The animals were grazing and my moms roommate decided to walk away from the working border collie he was “handling” so that dog chased a ewe in the woods (she’s okay but had a slight limp when we got her back) so I got woken up by my mom to “come with the puppy NOW it’s a disaster!”
I didn’t have time to get her long line, but she did very well on the lawless ladies who tend to ignore the dogs.

My mom is coming to private herding lessons with us for her BC, and won’t be letting the roommate work him anymore. The only reason he went to a herding clinic is it was snowing and he’s incapable of basic tasks so she had to stay on our farm.
Then after months of private lessons the trainer said she refused to work with him anymore because he doesn’t listen and isn’t nice to the dog. Which is true. HE messes up then blames the dog over it. So we are fixing that by mom going to lessons.

Anyhoo.
This is Daisy Mae, she’s 11 months old, stock dog registered lines, she’s started on hogs & sheep, she’s a little timid but once her instincts kick in she’s fantastic. Her sister is a very forward and strong dog but I’m working sheep and goats a lot of whom are bottle babies so I chose her because she’s got a soft mouth her sister is going to be great on cattle but Daisy will be fantastic with a little time and training.
She even put some snaps on our biggest brush goat, the king of the herd a 5 foot tall at face level feral alpine/lamancha goat named Fritz.

We live on the second floor, our back door has been leaking every time it rains because there’s no storm door and no gutters above the door, the roof gutters never get cleaned.

Landlord visited today to raise prices on the unit below us, but not fix our fuckin door.

My last landlord would let us do minor repairs that didn’t need an insured professional like electrical and then just take it off our rent. So minor things like replacing a pump in a toilet, or adding a storm door would have been fine. But nooooo can’t do that here. Just gotta have a door that leaks anytime it rains.

2 of the 6 rescue puppies we are fostering have been moved to learn to guard poultry & while I was hiding from the rain they decided it was the best time for puppy WWE.
They enjoyed romping around, rolling in the nice dirt holes they’d dug for themselves earlier & tackling each other into the mud.

I’m glad they are enjoying themselves. They’ve only known a big drought since being born so I’m glad they got their rain romps

This is Volt he’s a working dog on my moms farm & adores my pet gsd/pyr rescue so during his time off herding he gets to play with his new bestie.

His arch enemy is in the background glaring at the both of them. Our maremma HATES him because he sees herding as a threat to his livestock, so he was mad that they were playing so close to his fence

She’s even got levels.

We sit and watch the world go by and she enjoys having her tower on a hill. She switches between the landing and the balcony
