Every night….
Every single twilight…
Twice a day….
Morning and evening…
Sometimes more…
The always chore…
We head to the fields
Never leaving…
Always checking, moving and starting…
Picking up….
Filling…
Laying down….
Moving on…
Fuzzy rides…
Supervise…
Making sure it’s all done right.
Boomer stays…
Then gets bored…
Heads off for news…
Forgets to hear…
The call to come…
“We are heading home”…
When he does…
The speed is great…. “
Wait for me, Mom!”….
SHREEEEEEEEEEECH…
Boomer applies the brake!
We’ve been really cold here. Fuzzy has even had us sleeping inside. THAT WORKS FOR ME!!! It’s so cold Mom and Dad still wear their winter gear and so do Fuzzy and I. (To be honest with you I dread that shedding, panting hot weather, but Mom says she is ready for so warmth. 🙂 )
Last night the sunset was stunning. Mom was even late following Dad in because she had to hang on the ditch bank taking shots of the setting of the sun! It was really cool.
But she CALLED me back and I came FAST, then we just sat there for-ever so long…geez. Finally after about an eternity she took off and we zoomed home.
Mom doesn’t really go fast ‘cause Fuzzy would fall off. Fuzzy’s balance isn’t very good anymore and he LOVES to stand up the whole way. I’ve told him to sit down and hunker, but he just gives me a dirty look. “I’ll stand until the day I die” he growls at me.
Shish….okay, Fuzzy. Just say’n.
So after three eternities, when I could have been out there getting news, Mom finally drove in and brought us inside for the night.
Inside to sleep when it’s cold outside…heaven! (I like being outside when it’s warmer, but not now)
Inside to sleep with a dog treat! PRICELESS!!!

Boomer, I’m glad you come when you’re called—even if you’re busy. I’m sure it’s a long way back to the warm house w/o Mom driving.

Boomer, I really can’t blame Mom for lingering to get pictures of this beautiful sunset. I hope it soon warms up so you and Fuzzy can sleep outside.

Lovely poem at the start, spot on Mom!
Beautiful photos too.
We were housesitting a little while ago and took 2 doggies for daily walks. They too liked to read the news along the way – reminded me of you guys. Ear ruffles to you both 🙂
