Warm weather means barbecues, baseball and trips to the park with family and pets. But for pet owners, warm weather can also mean fleas, ticks, mosquitoes and other disease-carrying bugs.

Yesterday I told you the story of Rowdy, our red heeler/blue heeler mix. He wants to be a good dog, really he does. He redeemed himself yesterday morning. He saved my dog Tooter's life.
Yes, having a good cow dog is essential when running a successful cattle operation. They can help push the cattle down the chute; help to bring them in from the pasture; herd them to where you want them. Rowdy is a blue heeler/red heeler mix. Heelers are great cattle dogs!
