Hi all, In the last Digest, Marie Bolinski mentioned that she had never seen a coyote riding. Well, I'm not surprised, Marie, I never have either. I did know of one who was raised by my former dog trainer - he taught her to retrieve. She was great going out to get the bird, but he always had difficulty with the "bringing it back to the handler, sitting, and giving it to the handler" part. We have lots of coyotes where we live, and I love to hear their chorus at night. I wonder what they're singing about? Does anyone know? I'm excited and envious when I read about the wonderful adventures you all are having riding and driving. I seems that my learning curve is so slow, and I wonder when/if I'll be writing about those successes. Oh well, one day at a time. At least we got the chips spread over the dust bowl yesterday and now we'll find out how we do when the chips are down.... [Sorry, couldn't help myself} Sonny is still on the mend. We discovered that he is anemic, and are now shoving a noxious fluid containing iron down him twice daily. He's become stoic about it. What a little trooper! It's nice to see him contending with his big sister for the foodstuffs again.20 The new barn is nearly finished, but we're stalled [get it?] by the stall fronts having arrived without feed doors or hardware. I'm sure we'll be in it before the Big Cold, though. We'll be adding diamond mesh or "no climb" to the panels for the babies and for Clark, the goat formerly known as Prince, to stay in with Erlend. They still are in the honeymoon phase of their relationship - but it looks like they'll be willing to make a committment to each other soon. Have to go now, keep those adventures coming....Peg
