Rolling Dog Farm Blog

I was out scooping poop in the Widget’s House dog paddocks this morning when I looked over and saw Travis — a.k.a. "Perch" — surveying his domain from on top the big wooden reel.  The reel is left over from last year’s construction project, building Beauty’s Barn, when we had to lay in more power cable.  We moved the reel into the paddock to give the dogs something to climb up on.  As it turns out, Travis is the only dog who takes advantage of this. 

A few weeks ago I posted a photo of Travis perched rather precariously on top of an igloo dog house.  He loves heights, so if there’s something to climb, he’s all over it.  (I’m just glad we don’t have any trees in that paddock!)

If it looks wet in the photo, it sure was.  The "Pineapple Express" that’s hammered Washington state with flooding has been dumping lots of rain on western Montana, too, along with warm temperatures.  It’s been raining for days, and as you can see from the photo, our snow is now long gone.  Today we were in the high 50’s … a long way from the 10 below zero we had just a week ago today, on Halloween!
