I am the ruler of the farm—just ask me!
Mom is my duty
To not chase Mice is —unthinkable
My other duty is RUNNING!!! I LOVE to RUN!!!

Hello. My name is Boo Berry Betty BROWN!
Mom says I get to tell MY story:
I have been here since June 14, 2022
It took me a long-time to understand what I am supposed to do.
My life before was babies. I was bred by my first breeder when I was 9 months old.
Then there were puppies.
Then a little break where I really missed my babies. BUT—
The boy dog took care of me missing my puppies and gave me more.
This went on for twice a year for two years.
Then—-I went to live with another breeder. A really nice man.
BUT—the story was the same.
Boy dog.
Puppies.
Boy dog
Puppies.
For a year and ½.
I lost my last two litters—–
My really nice man breeder asked my MOM!!!
YAY! MOM!!!
If she would like to take me home; he was retiring me.
YAY!
Now all that puppy stuff is over.
I have a new purpose in life:
Mom says I am no longer a kennel dog-I am a FARM DOG!
YAY ME!
Boo Berry Betty (my registered name) BROWN— My legal name!
But Mom and everyone just calls me Boo Berry!

Something is going on
We’ve talked about it, but we can’t figure out what
Seems like the work around here has increased
Like into over-drive increase
Mom has the house in a dust, sweep, vacuum, mop, shine, polish MESS
And Dad comes in on the tractor then leaves,
Then heads back out on the four-wheeler
They seem to be in over-drive
Then Mom is outside moving around in all her flowerbeds and mowing the lawn, etc. in a frenzy
It’s been hard to keep up with her.
I can’t keep up either. I heard Mom and Dad talking about something called
Graduation
And party. I heard the word party.
Yeah! Graduation and party here at the farm!
COMPANY!!! I better hide!
I guess I won’t. I’ll help Mom the best I can.

TLC and Boo Berry
We are best of friends
We like to do ‘stuff’ together.
I like to play—run and scare Boo
After TLC jumps on me we sorta run around and chase each other
I never see TLC coming
He is very good at scaring me
I’m really good at chasing TLC 🙂
I can run faster than Boo Berry 🙂
And Boo Berry is very focused on Mom —just say’n
Still, we do have lots of fun together.
Best Friends FOREVER!
TLC and Boo Berry
I’m standing by the big scary machine!
“Come here, Boo Berry! Dad is going to go mark out one of the alfalfa fields! Hurry! RUN!”
“Good Girl!” Mom reached down and petted me.
Off we went for a little walk-about.
Just Mom and Me!
Boo Berry Betty Brown ( 4 B’s 🙂 )
Hummmm
OH! The chickens have been out here!
“BOO BERRY BETTY! STOP EATING CHICKEN POOP”!!! Mom screamed at me.
(Well, Mom, you’ve been saying you think it’s neat I’m learning how to be a dog.” Heee HEE, chuckle, snort!)
Boo Berry
(Backing up the water so the headgate will fill)
Mom and Dad just thought (HOPED) that last week’s big wind was the last big wind!
(Scary walking across that tiny board—Mom won’t even try. I don’t get out of my basket)
Nope!
Nadda!
Not at ALL!
(That is the trash dug out of the canal so the water could start)
We (Mom, Dad, Me (sometimes) worked all day in a big, big wind Tuesday and all day Wednesday.
70 m.p.h. gusts of wind getting the water started on the farm.
(We (Terry) must check the headgate several times a day to keep the trash out)
This is a hard, hard time, not only the wind but all the winter trash that comes down the water, plugging up the headgate. That makes Dad have to go check the headgate off and on. As I already said. 🙂 Boo Berry
In the afternoon, Kya and
Black Beauty, and my human sister, Shannon helped.
Once the water got to the horse pasture, Shannon, Kya, and Black Beauty took over setting the water in the horse pasture; Mom and Dad finished up on the new corn field.
It is so cold here we have been in a freeze warning which will last until Sunday.
Mom grew up in a huge fruit orchard—so this frozen stuff always makes her glad our livelihood is not based on fruit. This time of year is dangerous for fruit growers.
Okay, here is the deal: the WATER IS ON the FARM!!! (of which I get to go and help with) At least two (or more) times a day.
Mom says I am a very good irrigator! I don’t jump in the water like Kya and stop the tubes,
I just hang right by Mom like Black Beauty does Shannon.
TLC stays home all stretched out by the fire! Hummmmm.
(Who is stretched out by the fire? I am guarding the farmyard. TLC)
Boo Berry
We had company for Easter.
Yes!!!
Company!
Black Beauty, Apollo, and Loki—
Mom and Dad had the humans.
Just so you know what’s been going on!
