Tribute to the Collie

Campaign to raise awareness of Adam Telfer and his Legacy...the Border Collie

I have work to do but am getting sidetracked. It is all Lace's fault... lol, she made me love Border Collies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ii1WnS_qa7g

Dogs that changed the World (Border Collie)

I've had three Border Collies, a Malamute/Shepard and two Labs and all I've loved. I have to say that my BC's were so intelligent and eager to please. I had a champion BC with Scottish blood lines named Storm (Blue Merrill) and she brought me so much joy and happiness. If I went swimming, she would…

Arizona Sheepdog 1955

This 1955 Disney Feature is an awesome dog video. There aren't a lot of the special effects that you see in today's dog videos.

I was looking for a leg cleek to hook my lambs and someone in Wales uses this: It is a Carp. Pretty smart.

Making yarn. This is one Knottynaomi Spins loved... it is selectively auto wrapped with copper thread.

I was messing around and asked an online psychic this, "Does Scrappy really love me?" This is the answer;
"Without a doubt. What you want to happen is about to happen! Get ready for your dreams to come true!"
I guess this means I'm marrying my dog.

I have breedboxes available from all months including January. I just found a stash of ones I didn't know I had. If you want any, please go to http://namastefarms.com/breed-all-about-it/

Need my shepherd friends help... doe with blue bag, removed the udder, looks super good, have a problem with maggots. Gave her a shot of dectomax thinking that could help, and we fly spray every single day. I don't want to pack it and cover it because it is healing super well... ideas? We are talking about a wound the size of my entire palm... tissue is all healthy and beautiful.

Here is one of the long coated fleeces (about 7 inches) in our May breedboxes. There are more boxes available and can be purchased at http://www.namastefarms.com breedboxes link. They are going out tomorrow and everyone who purchased should have received a notification of shipping except Canadian purchasers. If you didn't please let me know.

Here is your name sake, "Kimberly the Bottle Fed Goat." Remember, she was raised inside with our dogs and thinks Lace is playing with her, not herding her. She cracks me up.

Lace realized that biting his head was dangerous and now, takes ahold of his shoulder when he tries to hit her. That's a mouthful of mohair she has. Of course, photo by Knottynaomi Spins!

Scrappy holding the flock. He is so good... (what you can't see is Lace is actually doing the work, she's just not in the picture.) Awesome photography from Knottynaomi Spins.

This is one of my favorite pictures ever... Knottynaomi Spins does it again. I work Scrappy everyday now and he loves it. Both are powered by OH Kruse Show Feeds.

Knottynaomi Spins is here today and we were working. Scrappy jumped up to give River a kiss.

This is one of the most honest interviews i've read. I wondered why Cesar is no longer filming "Dog Whisperer." I do believe in Cesar's methods based on my experience with my flight animals (and my predatory ones). Further, Cesar airs on the same network my show will be on... please have respect, and even if you don't agree with his methods, I would appreciate you not commenting negatively. I am trying to share with you an honest and very heartfelt interview by a man who's had positive impact on my life. http://www.mensjournal.com/magazine/rescuing-dog-whisperer-cesar-millan-20130207

There is still some of this available. It has an amazing staple, can be tailspun, and washes up with a gorgeous handle. Beautiful variation in color.

Namaste Farms shared Laura Spinner's photo.

Laura is one of my all time favorite spinners. I used to say that Janice Rosema had an amazing ability to put the perfect amount of twist on her lock spinning. Laura Spinner has this same ability.
