Great Dogs of Adair Co., KY: Blue, playing Top of the Mountain 2016-05-07 - Pellyton, Adair County, KY - Photo by Sharon Whitehurst. 'Blue' on her Command Post - is in charge of the earliest - born of the spring crop of goatlets who have an area fenced off from the mature nannies. From this photo I can't identify which of the three dogs is in the background. The 'tower' is meant as an exercise 'jungle gym' for the growing kids, but Blue finds it is a good command post. Blue also spends the night with her group of youngsters--in one of the roomy box stalls in the stable. Each dog has particular 'charges' although two dogs, Aneto and Munchkin, share the responsibility for the older does when outside. Two 'billies' have a separate area across the lane, and they don't have a canine 'minder'. - Sharon Whitehurst.

The Whitehurst Diaries: The Waning Gibbous Moon 2016-05-07 - Pellyton, Adair County, KY - Photo by Sharon Whitehurst. As the waning gibbous moon diminished to its last quarter a perceptible calm settled over the dogs, the goats, the cats. The Pyrenees matron and her two daughters spend the days quietly watching over their goats. They give a woof of greeting and accompany me along the lane on their own side of the fence, grinning, keeping up a low rumble of conversation. The goats glance at me and return to their browsing. The cats have quit roistering through the house, content to loll in front of the fire, for the night side of the moon brought cold rain and grey sullen days. - Sharon Whitehurst Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Whitehurst Diaries, Moon Madness: The Night Side of the Moon 2016-05-07 - Pellyton, Adair County, KY - Photo by Sharon Whitehurst. At 95% illumination. As this new moon waxes toward full, moving through its mysterious and ageless pattern, I will be taking renewed interest in the responses of those around me, observing the resident creatures, the better to deal with the intermittent 'lunacy' which may again prevail. - Sharon Whitehurst Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
