Hector, part 2

Last time on the Continuing Adventures of Grumpy's Hector, we left Hector contemplating his purpose in life, his true calling

when suddenly, on our journey home from the woods, it all became clear

when he saw this....

a need to be filled.

A COW TO BE HERDED.

and lucky for Hector, Lady had decided to take the day off from her position as the farm's top cow herd

(in her mind, anyway)

so Hector gave it a go

with all he had in him.

The cows were a little perplexed with this new turn of events.

But Hector was one happy doggy, who had found his true calling.

You messin' with me, little doggy?

I didn't THINK so.

That's okay, Hector.

We still love you.

And think you are an awesome cow dog.

Meanwhile back on the farm....

Hector visited us here on the farm recently

It was good to have him back

And while we were having a fun afternoon of ...

vine swinging,

resting,

fort building,

and boat building,

Hector was right there with us, helping out

playing with the kids,

and protecting his Grumpy.

But somehow he also seemed a little distracted,

As if contemplating his higher purpose in life.

When suddenly, there it was, right before his eyes...

Has Hector discovered his true calling in life?

Will he be able to take on this new challenge?

Find out next time on...

Meanwhile, back at the farm...

We've been spending a lot of time outside enjoying the gorgeous and mild Fall weather lately, so lucky for us, we have a courageous cow-herding farm dog to protect us from any bovine threats...

in her mind, anyway.



Lady is very proud of her Border Collie heritage, and fine herding skills.



Piper, however, is a chicken.

And when we leave in our golf cart to explore on the farm, Piper will sit on the porch for a long time watching us go and debating whether or not she should follow us.


Because that's a long way to run for a dog with little legs,
especially when there are lots of really big cows in the way.

But eventually loyalty to her family wins out and she will find her way down to where we finally park ourselves.


Because all dogs love human attention,
but Piper, especially seems to live and breathe for it.

Some things are worth braving the cows for. :)
