Bet and Karen were going to head out to run the Tramplings on Tuesday, but Cricket and the "big dogs" were telling them there were creatures lurking in the woods that morning, so no Trampling running that day. Karen speculates that it was likely a coyote or a deer, but there are also moose, elk, and bear. She also saw some wolf tracks a few weeks back, and there was a rumor that a cougar was prowling the valley. Of course she also confided that the dog yard doesn't always "comment" on people coming into the yard, and they are often shocked by visitors to their door without having a clue they even pulled in, but if those visitors show up a "unexpected" hours or if they step off the path to the front door... they will be notified.
In a very common theme, Karen wonders what it would be like to have normal pets Which prompted Bet to post a "normal" blog update while wearing a tartan snuggie and dillyboppers.

Bet is very upset that the Barrista at Starbucks asked if she was a Sheltie
On Thursday Karen found that the neighbor's cows were down behind the handler cabin. Bet was ignoring them, Cricket watched them suspiciously, and Bait was stalking them. There wasn't enough light for a picture, but here is the Cartoonist's rendering of the event.

Well now I dont want to offend dear Cricket, but based on my dogs I'd say she weighs around 120 pounds...not sure what that equates to in metric and since I have dial-up I cant check the conversion table on line. Also Karen, if ya really get in a pinch and change your "other dogs" policy, I (and my 5 dogs) are still available to be a handler. Well fall is here in Fairbanks. Yes! winter cant be to far behind. Think snow! Barb aka bigdogmon from Fairbanks, Alaska
Time for Cricket to look like a sheepie thingie, or a white bear ruggie thingie or a "don't care, it's not a bear" thingie.
