My friend Betsy

Here's a good buddy, Betsy, our Australian Shepherd. She loves to trot along on walks, and here in this photo she scans the road ditch for birds or a little critter to chase. She's always ready and willing to herd the cattle, and help with any other livestock chores. She's a great watchdog, too, alerting us to vehicles arriving, or to unwanted wildlife around the farmstead........such as skunks! The cats scatter when she comes their way, and she's an expert mouser, sniffing them out in the feed room at every opportunity. Each morning, she expectantly waits by the door of the house, and escorts us sleepyheads to the barn. A more faithful friend is not to be found!
