Number One Son ready to go somewhere. Anywhere. The trip in the car to a sandy beach or a garbage tip. Equally exciting with untold smells. He's always been a good passenger and whilst a whining Neil Young on the radio might put some of us off, not him. He's come from a life of cafe culture and prestigious puppy schools to a farm yard with strange birds and woolly dogs that won't obey commands. He must wonder how he went from a regular appointment at the local groomers having him blow dried and smelling of scent to now sporting a solid layer of dried up chook pooh and smelling of something dead. The pooch pamperer has been replaced with a bucket of warm water and a rinse under the hose followed by a quick dash to get in front of a roaring wood heater. Those city dogs have it too easy. Now where did I see that dead thing.
From a life in the corporate world to a small farm. My new work colleagues eat grass or lay eggs. I've got a lot to learn about things that just seem to happen when nature becomes your new boss.

Why spray it on when you can roll in it
