Orn is a 7 month old cream colored Icelandic Sheepdog next to Gaela who is a 14 year old foxy colored Icelandic Sheepdog. They are standing in shallow water and both are holding on to a stick together.

New puppy! Meet Orn. He is sort of overwhelmed today because he flew to Hawaii from Vancouver yesterday and has met chickens, turkey, sheepies and cats for the first time. He is doing so well.

#dogsky
Pippa sniffs our new Icelandic Sheepdog Orn with the sheepies and the sunrise in front of them. Orn checks out the sheepies and they are curious about him too. Orn and Leon check each other out. Orn is a 10 month old Icelandic Sheepdog who is cream colored and wearing a blue harness.

La la la la I just keep gardening like everything is totally normal.

#gardening 🌱🌺
A new to me hibiscus blossom that is white with a scarlet center and yellow stamen. Vanilla orchid! A new bed for growing carrots now that the winter rains have begun and temps are a bit cooler. Hopefully the metal fence will keep the cats from scratching it all up.

Pippa had Big Fun while we were in the orchard today. Bath time! She always finds the most disgusting things to roll in. Not an ounce of guilt!

#DogSky
Pippa has a big smile after rolling in pig shit. She is a 2 year old Icelandic Sheepdog by a yellow bag of lemons. Pippa greets a new friend very submissively. Nice new friend in a black and white friendly dog.

Happy Tuesday from Gaela who was definitely not burying her new chew toy. Why on earth would you suspect that???

#DogSky
Gaela is a 14 year old Icelandic Sheepdog requesting a new chew toy after burying her last one. Her muzzle is suspiciously brown dirt covered but surely that is a mere coincidence.

I distracted the grandchild and threw a stick so Gaela could get it. She was so happy. The difference between 14 and 2 years old!

The sky is so pretty as my Icelandic Chickens take to the bamboo trees for the night. And a turkey.
