The Girls

Well, I FINALLY bought a new battery for my old camera and figured it was no longer even holding a charge, maybe it was time! Ya think??!! It's just not be high on my list of priorities. But I wanted some new pictures of the dogs and before I know it, lambs will be here too. These were taken this past weekend. We moved breeding rams back into the ram pen and all the ewes are now back together. I was looking over pictures that people have sent me of the puppies from this past litter and figured I should post some of my own. These are only the house dogs. I'll work on the ones outside later this week.

Basha (2009) on left. Bella, her mom (2007) in the middle. Rosie, same mom as Bella (2008) to the right. Rosie has spent most, but not all of her life, outside with the sheep. But she is not relaxed with them and so I made the call to bring her inside. She's adjusting quite well but still learning the ropes of being an inside dog. Bella and Rosie are more similar in type than I would have imagined.

Here's Basha again. I think of her as a beauty, but she almost looks like she's sporting a bit of a black mustache under her nose. Looks funny and now that I've seen it, I keep seeing it in her pictures. But she's a sweet girl. Her pigmentation is good.

Here's Rosie, a bit shy but each day is learning how to live in the house. She likes to chew all the dog toys, which is making Basha more interested in them also.

And finally Bella. She's stepped up into top dog position now that Q is gone. Rosie and Basha play together all the time. Bella is the queen. Just chillin' out.
