Morning chores…

It’s the twice-a-day routine.  Pokey sets out with Wooz to feed the pigs and check on the heifers.  (They share a pasture)  (I mean the pigs and heifers; not Wooz and Pokey.)

We’ve not had a dog, certainly not a puppy, who is content simply trotting alongside, watching what needs to be done.  She won’t be distracted by our older dog racing off to investigate something or even a nearby cat or squirrel.

Yesterday we strung a lot of electric wire to begin mob grazing.  There was a cold wind, and a lot of walking for a little dog, but she gamely trotted along for about an hour.  And that was after her regular afternoon chores.

As advertised, Pokey is definitely a “work dog”.
