A while back after Apelle got neutered he also got a new home. For us- each dog is like a family member- and we often get pictures and much loved updates on them all.
This past week Apelle came back to us while his new parents had a much deserved vacation. Apelle was happy to see me, the other dogs and the farm in general- but he was thrilled when his new mom came to pick him back up. The feeling of seeing “your” dogs living happy lives- and hearing all their stories- makes up big time for the heart break of seeing them leave!

Sweet, lovable, easygoing but very aware! He’s athletic and intense when called for, and a total couch potato when he can be!!
Our BamBam!!

Our BamBam is getting VERY interested in Calabria who went into heat a couple of days ago. With all the things that have gone wrong so far breeding wise- I barely dare to whisper “puppies” out of fear these two first time parents won’t figure it out!! But I’m sooo excited! 🤞🙏

BamBam loves the sheep- and they love him!! ❤️❤️❤️

I never have to worry about wiping milk away from my bottle lamb’s face!!

My big goofy boy! He acts like that big cone is nothing- lol and of course bangs into everything. His motto seems to be “go faster and harder and nothing will stop me”!
He’s feeling good after surgery and although he’s great inside he’s very happy to go out and prefers to stay outside. Soon!

Apelle was so happy to be going back home after his neuter surgery. He made new fans at the vet’s because of his chill personality and teddy bear demeanor! He wasn’t even put back into a crate post op. and his face was in the window after I pulled in with the truck- he heard me coming! ❤️
It still hurts my heart that this beautiful male couldn’t make puppies- but now at least he won’t be so frantic when the ladies are in heat.

Our beautiful Quinn! She’s in heat but too young to breed so on leash and in the house- and behaving beautifully!! Love how she’s growing up!

The lambs love Bauscia- I think they feel she’s a puppy! She is really good with them but wants to run with them when they have their lamb races! She does listen to me- so I’m thrilled!!

These two!! Big Apelle and little Bauscia!

Such a happy doggie!! Bauscia!!

At Malpensa picking up our newest addition to our farm! Dario Capogrosso Bauscia is a dream! She greets people, wags her tail, gives me kisses and goes in and out of her kennel! We will take very good care of her, and I can’t wait to introduce her to the pack!! She’ll be a great guardian for our Valais Blacknose sheep!!

03/10/2024

Tomorrow is almost here! On the farm Dario said they have had 20 days of rain… and it was necessary for Bauscia to have a bath!!
I’m so excited to finally meet her!!

Getting a bit nervous- heading to Milano to pick up two new dogs!! This red female is Bauscia!! I love her color!!

In Sweden it’s all about caring for your animals!! “Dog parking - clean, safe with heat / ac” 🤣❤️🤣

Interesting study! Do dogs love us because we feed them or because they love the interaction with us??

Annika sent me this throw back picture of her and Alexander, my sister’s son. He got his cancer diagnosis at 14 years old and fought against it valiantly for two years. He didn’t complain much, took every day as it came without questioning and getting bitter and always put a smile on his face when he could.

I look at this picture and am happy to know he is at peace now, finally free from the pain, the nausea, the endless hospital stays, the testing, the procedures and surgeries.

He leaves his family and friends devastated and with huge aching hearts. Please, if you have a minute, say a prayer of comfort for all who miss him so. 💔

These dogs ALL LOVE THE SNOW! I’m getting “puppy” pictures - puppy in quotation mark since they have reached 10+ months old and are growing up beautifully! Here are some both of our s and tgebpups enjoying the snow! Photo’s curtesy under each picture.

The size of our pups at 7 months!! And our sheep are not small!! Not a great picture of BamBam- but you can see his size!!

10/10/2023

Me- “Want to come out of the rain?” BamBam: lays down looking at me like “…and leave my sheep?”

The chewing stage!! Bam Bam was so happy he found the cat treats. And then he shredded Scott’s bee magazine. I only left him for 5 min to put a wondering hen away. But it makes me happy I have another Coca Cola fan in the house!! After that one they ALL got chews!! Peace reigns (for the next 10 minutes!!

Taking Echo with us while traveling to Des Moines Iowa. other than him thinking I can fit with him taking up ALL the space- he’s the perfect travel companion. Calm, easy, patient.
We’re meeting up with his new mom Julie outside of Chicago. she’s getting such a wonderful boy! And he’s leaving a huge empty space behind him,
