Thunderstorms today. Love to watch the sheep file into the barn when the rain starts. Who says sheep are dumb?
I'm making "tuna fudge" treats for the dogs today. Odd name, tuna fudge. It's simply a can of salmon (or tuna), ¾ cup flour, one egg, and a ~ quarter cup grated cheese blended to a fine paste and baked in a silicone mat (picture). I flip it over, spread the salmon paste into the tiny hollow cups and bake at 350 for 20 minutes. The pyramid shaped treats pop right out. They're the perfect size for training and the dogs love them.
The Visitor
Tux alerted to a scat in the back yard that looked like coyote. It was definitely not hers or Hattie's, but it was inside the four foot fence near the garden. During the gale force winds last week something caused the lights around the barn to turn on late at night and when Bob checked, found the sheep pretty freaked out. He didn't see anything and thought it might have been the wind blowing things around but now I'm wondering if it was a coyote. The ducks are safe in their house, but a smart coyote might figure out how to get into the sheep pen. I'll have to hope the lights are enough deterrence.
