Ash & Tug Toy

Yesterday our new friend came for dinner. We met her through Old Dog Haven. She has eight rescue dogs right now. She brought a silly little Beagle girl on a blind date for Jack. It didn’t work out. Jack didn’t even sniff her and the little Beagle just ran around in circles until she got tired.

Next the lady brought in a pile of orange fur named Eddie. He strutted around and acted like a big shot. I tried to herd him, but of course, the packleaders put a stop to that. Back he went to the car with the Beagle.

Finally the lady brought in a herding dog. Jack didn’t pay any attention to her, but Tess and I knew she was one of us. We had all kinds of fun. Poor Jack never did get a date. It’s tough to find a girlfriend when you won’t even sniff your date. We’re going to send Jack to charm school this summer.

Yesterday Tess and I played with the goats. OK, maybe we dogs had more fun than the goats, but everybody got to run around and enjoy the sunshine. Tess has a real strong herding instinct. Me, I just like to mix it up with the goats. When they get out I chase ’em back where they belong. Sometimes the goats head butt me. That makes it more fun. The goats belong to our neighbors, but they’ve lived with us for two years. They came with names already – Cartman and Leroy Brown. Here, you can see them for yourself.

Brothers

This is me and my little brother Zag. We have the same parents but were born a year apart. Zag was born on April 1st, so I call him the little fool. He lives in Idaho so I don’t get to see him very often. When he comes to visit, he always gets in trouble. I don’t mind. We play tug and bark at the goats. This is us at the beach last fall. Can you tell which one is me?
