6/22/24 We got an update on sweet Bella this morning from Petra her new owner…

It’s going really well. I think Bella is happy. She gets lots of long walks. still working on obedience training with the hope that eventually she’ll get better recall so I can give her more freedom off leash.
She has settled in well and is making progress. She is the most incredible walker around town. Everybody comments on what a good dog she is. I am so grateful to you guys for doing what you did to give this girl a chance at a better life .

What a beautiful evening to rotate cows to the north pasture!! I love that all I have to do is call for them and they’ll come running!👍

Since it’s Dumb Ways to Die sharing your almost death experiences weekend and almost Father’s Day…

Last fall, I’m thinking November, my father was out spraying w**ds in the pasture on the 4-Wheeler. He is currently 88.5 years old to put things into perspective and LOVES to spray w**ds!!! I think he and my Uncle Paul, both retired wheat farmers now, were put on this planet for w**d control!! Plus it gives them something to do in their retirement and keeps them active in the mind and the body. I get it!!

My father and his siblings grew up harvesting wheat with no cab tractors that pulled no cab combines and over the years the farming operation migrated into operating self propelled combines with enclosed cabs and air conditioning in them. Technology was new to them but the conveniences were welcomed!!

In fact, technology over the years has made everyone’s lives better!! Until we got to the cell phone. My father can’t figure out a cell phone to save his life, and also struggles at times with the remote control to the television.

So here he was out in the pasture spraying w**ds like a boss and I suddenly get a phone call from him asking where I’m at. I’m not sure how he got the thing to work because again it’s a foreign object to him but he called and I told him I was between Grand Coulee and Wilbur on my way home. He was pretty calm but I asked him if he was ok anyways. His reply, well not exactly. I said what’s going on? He replied, well I was spraying w**ds and I tipped the 4-wheeler over. I asked if he was ok? He replied, I’m ok but I can’t get my foot out from under the 4wheeler. I asked where he was and his reply, I’m in the creek. OMG! Where in the creek are you I asked? Just south of the pond he said. Mind you it’s coat season and he’s always cold so I’m trying to visualize what he’s got himself into and am only thinking the worst! He asked if I could come and help him and if I could hurry!! Oh I hurried, I wasn’t sure I could get the 4-wheeler off of him so I called Clint Schuler to come also just in case! I arrived just before Clint. The 4-wheeler was on its side with a full load of spray in the tank. I could barely budge the thing but got it off him enough he could pull his foot out from under it. His shoe stayed under the 4-wheeler until Clint helped me push it back on its wheels. Why it didn’t roll completely over onto my dad I have no idea. I’m thinking Jesus Loves him too and it’s clearly not his time to die! If he’d have rolled over 3 feet sooner he would have drown in the deep part of the creek. Instead he was laying in shallow water completely soaked and cold, but ok other than I think it scared him a little. I’m pretty sure he’s not the only old guy w**d sprayer thats found himself as an almost star in those dumb ways to die videos. I mean he’s used up a few of his younger lives doing other stupid S**t so he prob could have his own YouTube site, but all in all he’s a very lucky guy to be alive!!

Since then we started talking side by sides. Something a little more stable for w**d spraying with maybe a cab and a heater. We went to try out a few that our neighbors had to see if he even liked them and after we got done he replied…I can’t believe all the people that have these things! Welcome to 2024 dad! Technology has come a long ways in the past 88.5 years!!

So I started shopping and found Ryan at Extreme PowerSports in Okanogan, Washington. This guy is amazing and so easy to work with and had the best prices in the State of Washington!! A guy that’s willing to negotiate price and look for rebates and other discounts. The other businesses in the Spokane area couldn’t or wouldn’t match his prices and were baffled by his deal. I was impressed!!

So my dad took the plunge and actually for the first time in his life spent a little money on himself. He can’t take that hard earned $ with him to heaven so he might as well enjoy a little of it while he’s still here on earth. I was pretty proud of him to actually be on board with the idea and then follow through. He got a Polaris NorthStar with a cab, heat and A/C and it actually has navigation so I can download an App and know where he’s at in the thing in case something happens. That was the best selling point for an 88.5 year old guy that still wants to be out and about and not spend the rest of his years sitting in the house watching tv all day because he can barely walk. He’s got his life back!!

Thank you Ryan at Extreme PowerSports and Happy Father’s Day Dad!!❤️

Let’s talk about those “Dumb Ways to Die” videos for a minute. If I’d had a camera and video on myself this morning, I’m pretty sure I’d be at the top of the charts right now! I am only tattling on myself because deep down I feel that it might help save the life of a child or du***ss cattle rancher someday.

So my task today was to load some portable cattle panels into the stock trailer and take them to the pasture to make a pen so I could load a calf that lost its mom and bring the calf home. Easy peasy right??? WRONG!!!

When I got to the pasture I parked on a little bit of a side hill and didn’t pay attention that I had parked there. The reason it didn’t dawn on me was because I cut the twine I used to hold the panels up inside the trailer and all the panels seemed happy and stayed upright, so the angle wasn’t much.

I procede to grab the first panel and took it out of the trailer and went and leaned it against the fence. I then came back and grabbed the second panel and pulled it closer to me so I could carry it out and just like a spring loaded domino effect, suddenly all of the other panels came flying at me too!! I quickly found myself pinned against the side of the trailer trying to hold all of these panels off of me!!

These panels as a single aren’t that heavy until all of them come tumbling down at the same time!! It’s a lot of weight!

First thought in my mind was that Dumb Ways To Die videos and the song that goes with it because clearly this is not how I envisioned my last day on earth. As I’m leaning against the trailer feeling like it’s all I can do to keep the Effel Tower from falling on me, my next thought was how many days do you suppose it will be until someone finds me?? My phone is in the truck and my hands are kind of full and I’m about a mile from the nearest house so yelling or calling 911 for help isn’t going to work!

The single panel closest to me luckily was more upright and slid closer to me in all of this and its top rung was right at my neck level. If I let go I feel that I’m going to get pinned at the neck! So I look to my left and realize that the center gate brace sticks out into the trailer just enough that I might be able to save myself afterall. This is a total Tom Cruise action movie moment and he never dies, so I gave all the panels a shove forward as hard as I could and figured this was do or die time and I ducked!!! The panels came slamming against that center gate towards me and stopped!! Had that middle gate brace not been in that trailer I think the entire panel set would have fallen over onto me and I’d probably still be in the trailer with a bunch of panels piled on top of me. Thank you Mr. Featherlite inventor guy, I love you!!

If I hadn’t dropped to the floor and after looking back at all these panels piled in the trailer, I think I could have slid out with my head still above that one taller green panel if I’d stayed standing. I’m pretty sure I would have messed my pants tho not knowing for sure cuz that way would have been more scary and prob not the best position to be in 4 days later when someone finally finds you. Either way…Jesus still loves me!!! ❤️YAYYY!!!

Since today wasn’t apparently my day to die, and Plan A worked and I was able to crawl out from under the panel gap and walk around the panels at the front of the trailer and over the top of all the panels to get out of the trailer, and since I didn’t mess my pants during all of that… I decided to go ahead and just finish making my pen.

When I finally got the pen made and saw the calf, it looked like the calf was doing pretty good without a mom so I just left him there in the pasture for a couple more weeks with the other cows and babies. So all of that for nothing!! Pfft!!!

NEXT time I decide to do something for no reason, I think I will park on a spot that I know is level and tie up a few sections of panels with my trusty hay twine so not every panel decides they want to pilfer on top of me at once…lesson learned!!!

It’s a risky business trying to stay alive everyday on a farm. Nobody said you have to be smart to do this job, but it definitely helps sometimes!

I’d appreciate if you share with those folks you know that have cattle panels and kids or stupid adults in your life so they don’t end up in one of those Dumb Ways to Die videos like I almost was.

If you have a Dumb Ways to die experience of your own and obviously lived through it, feel free to share!! Maybe we can all learn from you on how to be safer.

That Dumb Ways To Die song was in my head all day today…just a friendly reminder I guess to let’s not do that again! 👍

This feral kitten life is about to change I’m thinking…🥰

28/05/2024

Today’s adventure consisted of a little dog that was found on the highway just north of Hartline, Wa. this morning. Karin Whitaker was out for a jog around 8:30am and the little guy came running up behind her and jumped on her leg scaring the crap out of her! He was just wanting to be rescued by someone.

Shawna Stokoe Baergen’s husband Matt saw the little dog this morning around 6:30am but it was too afraid to approach him. He did however see a black or dark blue SUV he thought maybe a Honda Pilot drive up onto his property last night around 9:30pm. The vehicle driver realized Matt was there and turned around halfway down the driveway and headed back towards Grand Coulee from Hartline. Ironically, there was one little emaciated dog that resembled a little red fox looking to be rescued by Karin on her jog, so she took it home with her and then went to have it checked for a microchip. No chip! Her kids started calling him Dexter. He is so starved I have no idea why he is still standing. If he were shaved he would look like a rack of bones.

Shelly Christine Johnson and I gave Dexter a bath to try and get the smell off of him because clearly he’d either rolled or was living next to something dead! I then sent him to a foster home that I trust will take the very best care of him.

About the time I got Dexter dropped off with his foster just after lunch time, another starved little dog was picked up by my neighbor Beth Goetz in close to the same spot in the highway Dexter was found. The pup was seen crossing the highway by them so they took the blonde fox looking dog home with them and are currently taking good care of her.

Some people suck, but at least they dumped these two sweet pups close to town hoping they would get the help that they need. That’s what I’m telling myself anyways. I am not sure if there’s more little dogs out north of Hartline, Wa. So please keep your eyes peeled and let me know.

If you happen to know whose little dogs these are feel free to PM me. I would love to know why they didn’t just ask someone to help them with some food for them?

These pups are sweet, but in the worst emaciated body condition I think I’ve ever seen. They did not deserve to be treated this way. I’m disappointed in their owner whoever they are.

It takes a village to help these wayward pets, thank you to those that care and take the time to stop and help them! ❤️

I’m just going to put this out there…

I get contacted all the time to help people with wayward critters in need. If I’m not busy, I’ll try to help. If I’m busy, clearly I can’t.

These animals getting dumped lately are in need, and shelters are full! A lot of people are aware of the roaming animal but nobody wants to help it for some reason.

Fostering a dog in need is not a huge task if you have the space and can afford some food for it. Give it some time to decompress and get to know the animal. What does it like? What does it not like? Is it fixed? Can it be with kids, cats, and other dogs? Simple things folks!

Once you get to know the animal then we can work to find it the right home for both the dog and the owner. That doesn’t mean it has to live with you forever! Just temporarily.

If we do nothing, the animal continues to roam, rarely eating or drinking and may end up getting hit by a car. Then what? Now the dog is either dead or suffering painful injuries.

It doesn’t take much to be kind. Open your heart and offer your love, I can guarantee that in most cases you will get hooked and want to continue to help. Just like I did with this dog. His name is Nick, or St. Nick because he was trapped on a snowy Christmas Eve north of Hartline, Wa. about 7 years ago. He’d been roaming the north ridge for 2 weeks traveling more than 10 miles a day looking for his owner who selfishly dumped him.

This has been the best dog anyone could ask for and was a total foster fail!! He’s got his quirks but don’t we all. He deserved love and gives it ten fold in return!!

I just want you to consider helping because so many dogs are being dumped right now and could use your love too!! Thanks!❤️

Someone loves to ride in the tractor!!🥰

I saw this very pregnant young cat in Grand Coulee, Wa. the other day. She hangs out behind the Siam Palace with some other feral cats and goes up to the apartments by Les Schwab hoping someone will put food out for her.

I felt kind of bad for her waddling across the road so pregnant and not having a warm place to have her babies so I told Britta Belgarde and Karyn Byam Payne if they’d catch her I’d put her in my cat room so that she and the babies will be safe and warm!

I got word from Britta Saturday night about 10:30pm that she caught mama cat in the trap! So I jumped in the car and drove to the dam to pick up the feral pregnant feline and got home about midnight.

Well this morning she became the proud mama of three little baby kittens and some how miraculously snapped out of whatever feral curse possessed her! This cat was purring and snuggling into my touch and so happy to be a new mama I couldn’t believe she didn’t want to eat my face off when I touched her new babies.

I think someone said it got down to 20 degrees last night so I have them bedded down in a box with a soft blanket and under a heat lamp living the good life!! And NO I don’t want anymore cats and NO I don’t have anymore room in my cat room for more, I did my community cat service and helped this one. Eventually I will find this little family a good home but for now I thought I’d share her happy story and hopefully brighten your day!!! ❤️

And that’s a wrap!! Calving season 2024 is in the books!! Bobo brought up the rear with a nice little heifer calf this morning!! It was a win some, you lose some kind of a year but all in all it went ok.

Now it would warm up a little more so the grass will grow enough to turn everyone out to pasture. 🌷

Happy Tuesday!!

Happy Monday!!🐓🐓🐓

Happy Sunday!!🥰

I guess someone wants to ride in the tractor today….🐓🐓🐓

There was a full house at the new school open house in Almira, Washington today!! It took just under 2 years to complete the school after the fire on October 12th 2021. Garco did an amazing job!! It is above and beyond what I thought was going to replace that 70 year old brick school that graduated many students in years past. Here’s to the next generations of Warrior kids who are blessed to learn in such an amazing building!! ❤️

A big thank you to Dave Beaver and TKB Trucking from Wilbur, Wa. and my 90 year old uncle Allyn Hughes and Hughes Farms from Almira, Wa. And all of you who donated some money to help the fire victims up by Spokane, Wa.!! We have a donated load of wonderful hay heading to a ranch affected by the Medical Lake fire to help feed 250 head of cattle without any fall pasture to graze on. This load will help those cattle until they can hopefully find some available pasture. If anyone knows of an irrigated circle that could be fenced or pasture that could be utilized by these cattle please PM me and I’ll get you in touch with Staci Landt at Flying S Ranch near Cheney, Wa. Thanks again for your kindness!! It takes a village to help make a difference for these folks affected by the wildfires. May God bless you all!! ❤️

Does anyone remember the baby porcupine I found waddling down the side of the snowy road December 13th 2022? Well she went to a rehabber and got her freedom back into the wild on the 4th of July…Indepence Day!! I wish you well baby Dirt Clod! ❤️

Random things you see when you’re out walking your dogs…Mike went from Mansfield to Lind to Davenport and landed next to the farm north of Almira, Wa. Good for him!! That’s a long ways!!! 😊

Here’s your hint for those of you who can’t see it…

Wednesday 3am Update: still only the one baby. I guess my cows are just fat! I thought for sure there would be two babies. I’ll take one fat cow and one healthy baby any day!! 💕 Only one more fat cow left to calve to finish out the season. Woohoo!! Tuesday 11:45pm Second to last cow just had her baby. I have a hunch since she had twins last year and she looked like she could give birth to a baby elephant before this one came out that there’s one more baby still inside...🤷‍♂️

Rainy Mondays….☔️☔️☔️

This little guy comes up to me for some love every morning. He’s pretty sweet! 🥰

Taco had her baby today!! Great timing with the baby still in the sack. I’ve had a lot of babies this year still in the placenta sack and luckily got there in time to cut it off so they could breath! Whew!! I think I’ve got about 20 left to calve. It was like spring today!! 🌷🌷🌷Come on babies!! I’m ready for a full nights sleep!! 💤💤💤💤

Someone’s getting to try out the new wood stove…

Here’s your calf being born video for the day. I’ve had lots of babies come out with the sack still over their face or their body still fully engulfed in the thick placenta. If you come out and find a dead calf that looks like it should be perfectly healthy and alive but isn’t, it’s probably because mama didn’t get up fast enough to clean the placenta off the baby in time and the baby drown or suffocated. As soon as that umbilical cord breaks the baby takes it’s first breath. If it’s still in the placenta sack that first breath is full of fluid and no oxygen which will drown or suffocate the baby. That’s why I always carry a knife in my pocket and try to cut the sack off the babys head if I can. Some babies aren’t always so lucky but this one was!! ❤️
