Mosquitos.. or how to go broke buying insecticides!

Kya bringing some sheep out of a pen.

Kya bringing sheep in to the round pen.



2 big bulls.







For 2 years we've been Mosquito free, then about 2+ weeks ago they arrived in droves and it seems they're trying to make up for lost time! They have been extremely viscious, so we haven't been doing much training, or much of anything at all if it involves going outside!










Last week Dorien Vogelaar from the Netherlands came to visit me for a couple of days. Dorien has been bit by the trialing bug, and entered her first trial with her Aussie this past August and they did very well! :) So, now she's thinking about what she would like from her next Aussie. Dorien is interested in a pup from Chili and so she came to meet and us! Dorien also takes terrific pictures, (check out some of them on Chili' and Kya's page) so we SPRAYED her down and went out and worked dogs each day! Poor Dorien, unfortunately they really liked her:( But she did get some great pictures!










Until the mosquitos die out my evenings are pretty much bringing the horses in and spraying them down, and then having Kya or Chili bring the sheep in.....feeding everyone and heading back inside.










I'll add some of Dorien's pictures over the next few days....oh and a couple of her Bison pictures....they were at the top of her list of things she had to see while visiting Alberta!
