Dear Abby

This is my neighbor’s dog Abby, a rescued Australian Shepherd mix. No sheep for her but whoever said you can’t herd cats got it completely wrong. This one happens to be her favorite

Ruff’n Reddy we are not

Ozark friends are we

Abby herds all of my kin

But doesn’t mess with me

 

Instead she stands beside me

And treats me with respect

Of course I do reciprocate

Upon good fortune I reflect

 

Can’t imagine living

In any other place

The Ozark woods and culture

Sets the perfect pace

Abby sounds like a marvelous neighbor.

Ps: My old cattle dog herds Chihuahuas, but my stubborn cats refuse to let him herd them - Poor Guy.

To quote Martin Luther King: "Peace at last. Peace at last, Lord God Almighty, peace at last."

Looks like you settled in nicely to your little piece of heaven. Just wait until that next ice storm or tornado and your power goes out for three weeks, spoiling all that meat you have in the freezer. Just had to be a spoilsport because I'm so jealous… ;-)

Great picture of the herding ability of Abby. You can dog out of the Australian back country, but you can't take the Australian back country out of the dog. I don't believe I said that.

SWEET! Abby is a good dog. She says our dogs need to learn the customs. On leashes? Oh, please!
