My contribution for this week’s
Fun Foto Challenge

Farm animals.
I never owned a horse…but Dad always had stories of
horses, farm and rides to school.
They were a big part of his life.
This was my idea of a farm animal.
Not sure if donkeys count as farm animals.
Probably at some time.
In Botswana they seemed to roam at will.
Again my idea of farm animals…
with these being the reason for sheep farming.
Replacements for your breeding flock.
And wherever you farm sheep or cattle you are
likely to find a sheep or cattle dog.
Ginger did not spend much of her life on the farm.
I think she is dreaming of chasing sheep in the previous photo.
These next two are nearly thirty years old.
Apart from nicknaming Brandy my six million dollar dog,
in his latter years,
at this stage of his life
he was known as my Bi-Centennial Pup.
Born in 1988…Australia’s Bi-Centennial year.
For thirteen years he was my faithful companion.
This is Brandy in his Bucket Head era…
about 10-12 years old…he passed away at thirteen.
Ginger was born in September 2001 and looks
much younger than Brandy did in this shot.
Over twenty-five years of faithfulness
from father and daughter.
Brandy had an infected iris, had to be in the dark
and the bucket was to stop him scratching the ointment
I had to put in his eye twice a day.
To begin with he hated the bucket…
but then realized he had to wear it
and willingly came to stick his head
through the hole in the bottom.
