That would be great! This forum is so new that sometimes it gets a little slow...always nice to have pics to see and all! Can you post the one that you put on the wall, as well? :D

Done.
I don't know why but the one you asked for only came through as a link. Click the link and it will come up.
Took a lot longer to do than I thought it would. Time for bed. Enjoy.

Here's our Rudy hard at work, on patrol.

He's an expert at keeping birds from landing on the lawn, warning any birds flying overhead, entertaining the chickens, and keeping me warm when I sit on the couch at night.
Here he is guarding a blanket.

You don't want to mess with this guy. ;)

He is simply adorable...but don't tell him~ might make him feel less than macho with that kind of compliment! :D What a sweet face! Oops! Did it again!

I have a new pup - well she's almost 5 mts old.

A red Heeler - her name is Ginja. Her "job" is to make sure the kids are safe when playing outside, safe from snakes, crazy deer and other critters...

Cuteness overload! :) I wish puppies never lost that puppy "look" and softness. So easy to love a puppy. How does she do with the livestock, if any?

We have a goat and horse - she barks non-stop at the goat... is a little nervous of the horse. Scared of the ducks cause they go for her ears... :gig

My GP/Lab mix is simply terrified of horses! Somewhere in her past she has definitely been traumatized by some evil, rabid horse...I'm just sure of it.

Great pic! She does well with the poultry then, this is always an added bonus...especially after reading all the post about this subject on the BYC. Great looking dog, BTW!
