Skunk always has to hop in and explore the sections of creek that we're not often near while helping me check the fencelines.

The cacti in my field are blooming!

While Willie is always eager to perform his supervisory duties, he takes extra care in his work whenever pork chops are involved. #TerrierTuesday

Skunk and I had to have the "living fossils are not our friends" talk today. As a result, no noses were bitten today!

This little guy stopped by the barn during morning chores today.

Skunk looks like he's doing a backwards seal hop whenever we work on "back."

It's a good day for a nap in the shade. #CairnTerrier #dogsofbluesky

The boys are helping me do a little brush clearing and clean up today. #CairnTerrier #BorderCollie #dogsofbluesky

For #TerrierTuesday, here's a rare shot of Willie the #CairnTerrier with his ears back! He doesn't mind when Skunk wants to cuddle, as long as he doesn't move around too much.

Oh, duck!

We got a little rain last night, and Skunk found a long-lost toy that I accidentally threw into a tree around six months ago!

Willie needed a nap after a hard day's work of supervisory duties.

RIP potatoes. I think today is just going to be clean up after last night's storm. At least the house and outbuildings are all (mostly) fine, and all animals were safely up!

That is steam from the 1-2" hail (!) in 70 F heat. It seems to have passed over for now, and all of our windows are intact. The poor dogs are currently hiding under the couch from the sound though!

For #TerrierTuesday 's theme of #StarPaws, here is a young Willie beginning The Descent (2005)!

I discovered a wild swarm of bees while mowing the lawn today! My husband isn't sure if he can convince them to move into his second hive or not, but he's already trying to figure out how to safely get them out of this tree.

Willie has successfully bitten his jolly ball into submission.

Skunk's mandatory cool down between throws.

Willie the #CairnTerrier always wants to know what I'm up to for #TerrierTuesday.

For #TerrierTuesday 's theme of #dogsonlogs, here's Willie with his bestie, Skunk.

Success!

Sometimes you just need to take a break and talk to another cup of coffee.

I let Willie come along for move in inspections last week, and had to keep retaking pictures as he photo bombed them! #TerrierTuesday

Happy first birthday, Skunk!

Isla is on babysitting duty for the herd this afternoon.

This little doeling has the most unique color and pattern combination I've seen before!

Afternoon nap time.

The kids' first day outside!

Willie helps me in the garden by gently grabbing things in my hand, like planting instructions and weeds.

For #TerrierTuesday, I thought I'd share where Willie use to hang out on the golf cart. He's too big to do this now!

The goatsplosion has begun! Mom and kids are doing well, and I'm expecting everyone else to kid over the next couple of days.

It's finally nice enough to break out the splash pad.

The average progression of a #CairnTerrier belly rub.

It's been too hectic this week for Willie to ramble around the property, so I'm going to share a flashback of when he discovered that floor registers can produce cold air for #TerrierTuesday.

Past Kristen is mean. She always decides to be healthy and not buy ribs at Aldi. Now Present Kristen cannot enjoy delicious BBQ for dinner! Damn her.

Willie's favorite place.

I made the mistake of buying paint at Sherwin Williams for my most recent turn. It's so nice to work with that I don't think I can go back to Behr. RIP my budget.

Willie staring down the driveway while waiting for my husband to come home from work during afternoon reading time.

Willie playing in the snow with his bestie Skunk is my phone's lock screen for #TerrierTuesday

My husband trapped a pretty funny looking cat.

A very rare shot of a dead Skunk.

He almost never gets human food, so Willie couldn't wrap his mind around a marshmallow.

Is it time for breakfast yet?

Willie the #CairnTerrier is always eager to learn new skills. For #TerrierTuesday, he's learning how to use a tape measure.

Well, that's a hint if I've ever seen one.

They live!

This pretty much sums up how they both approach life in one picture.

For #TerrierTuesday , I thought I'd share how Willie the #CairnTerrier shows affection. Thankfully, I curbed the biting when he was a puppy, so now he does this just before kissing me

I think he may be part cat. #CairnTerrier
