May 22, 2013 at 7:59 am 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.

May 22, 2013 at 7:33 am I was looking for a leg cleek to hook my lambs and someone in Wales uses this: It is a Carp. Pretty smart.

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.

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.

May 18, 2013 at 7:15 pm 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.

May 18, 2013 at 3:12 pm 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!

May 18, 2013 at 3:01 pm 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.

May 18, 2013 at 2:41 pm 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.

May 17, 2013 at 7:00 pm 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

The world knew Cesar Millan as the 'Dog Whisperer' – the man who understood everything about the canine mind. But when it came to humans, he had a lot to learn.

May 16, 2013 at 8:53 pm 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.
i have made so many beautiful things with your yarn and now i’m blue, not multi-colored, not with feathers, just plain BLUE. any old stuff around? i will miss the mohair fringe and the long locks wesleydale. has anyone else got your gift?
i do nuno and regular wet felting, do you have material i can marry to the technique?
namaste, blue jane
Wow, that really made my day. I will make yarn for you. I just don’t like to publicize it or I will turn back into a sweat shop worker. If you use the contact page I will get the email and you can tell me what you’re interested in. Then, I can tell you the price and you can order whatever you need. I can make it for you with no problem and turnaround time is about a week. It’s really my pleasure. Blessings. Natalie
