Some of you humans may think that I am cute and well behaved. You may even think that I will fetch that ball for you.
Well....I am cute.
My story goes like this: I was contained in a enclosed barn for most of my life......in a cage in that barn....that was made for me. Dank and dirty it was. That was six months ago ......I was rescued by Farmer Deno's neighbor....Dan. Yes.......Handy Dan ....the same guy that has several postings in this blog about him. Good guy that Handy Dan......but my cuteness wont cut the cake with him. He demands that I get trained. Oh no no..... arf arf !
Farmer Deno says "we'll see about that".
So once again does Handy Dan decide to help out the farm. He took in our old rusty horse trailer......and is restoring it completely. All the rust is being replaced with fresh steel, new brakes, floor reinforcement, electrical overhaul......everything short of adding a carrot juice bar for the horses.
In exchange............we are training Ivy to be a cool dog. Getting her to heed to commands. Not jumping up on folks. To retain her perimeter and not leave towards the busy street.....and much more. We have trained our dogs never to enter the street.....not be aggressive.....not be a nuisance.....and not to bark all day long at nothing. It's really a lot of hours to train a dog properly.
Before you run out to buy or hire what you need for your farm...ask your neighbors if they can help out........ with you exchanging your help or equipment ......on something that they really need done.
Most farmers do this. Yes.....I think that Ivy is one cute dog.
Arf arf.
