Life on the "Farm"
We live 6 miles outside Lubbock, Texas. Our home is on 10 acres where our pets roam, run, explore, chase, bark, dig, hide and play. We love it and they love it. "Cricket" and "Dilly" (our horses) keep the pastures mowed and fertilized. In addition to "Hank" and "Zillow" (our Aussies) we also have three teacup yorkies and a bird dog: "Tilly", "Tobey", "Brently" and "Baretta". Our loyal and longtime companion "Turbo" (bassett hound) recently passed on after more than 14 years with our family. We miss him!
"Hank" (shown at left under table) is very active, very loyal, innocent, talks alot and will literally sit on your feet; just standing by you is not enough, must be touching you! He's funny. You can teach "Hank" anything. He'll listen and he'll try. He's game for anything. If you go in the house he will sit at door with his nose rested against door(teeth showing) until you come back outside. Is he glad to see you?....that is an understatement.
We are working with him to catch and retrieve a frisbee. He's still learning, but he is catching on quick. He minds and listens well.
He'll sit attentively and watch you eat. He won't "talk" or beg, but he will drool and make you either laugh or gross you out.
Sir Franklin Hank - you are a smart "goof" and we love you!

Life on the "Farm"
Zillow Blue Smile - "Zillow" is our pretty girl. She's got wiggle and swag when walks. She's loving and loyal. She "purrs" when you pet her and smiles when you say her name. Her running buddy is "Baretta" our bird dog. They scour the pastures for hours, dig in the tree line for varmets and will give a rabbit the chase of a life time. She wrestles with "Hank" and plays chase and tumble with the yorkies. "Baretta" runs on three feet (one hind foot was damaged in an accident); "Zillow" sometimes runs on three feet too....hey, that's what her friend does so she will too.
I decided she must be part kangaroo; when the winter rye grass was about 4 feet tall in May Baretta would explore in it. Zillow would follow, but she "spring" like a kangaroo from all four legs as she made her way through. Up she would pop, then disappear and up she would pop...
