    For you Scotty, I have posted Campinspecter's helpers. They always go wood cutting with him. They are rat terriers and they just love the woods.

    Black/white is Cricket. She is nervous about any loud or strange noises but when she is out on a trail, she is fearless. Has a very good tracking nose. Rascal is the red/white. He follows everywhere and investigates lots. His colour is unusual for a rat terrier.

    Shadow, the grey one, is the most enthusiastic dog we have had. We call her the flying squirrel as she will leap off heights without looking. Her colour is extremely unusual for the breed.

    When Shadow was 8 months old, she went over this bluff while chasing a squirrel.

    You can just make out her Jacket hanging in a tree half way down.

    This is where she landed apparently no worse for wear. We think the jacket might have caused the fall so they no longer wear jackets while hiking. It took 45 minutes to find a way to get down to where she landed!

    He is the most loving little monster ever. He chased a pit bull out of my yard TWICE of all things he doesn't even have front claws. That dog was so scared he watered the ground on the way out the second time. ;) The dog is a jerk so the cat is good insurance hahaha

    A couple of our pup never had to worry about B&E or leaving the GF home at night has been a heck of a dog when it comes to listening and protecting.

    This was our Romeo! We wanted a small shepherd. His mom was 60lbs, his dad 75 lbs and when we got him, he was the runt of the litter! BUT HE WOULD NOT STOP GROWING 130 lbs in this picture!

    Max and Mazey. We lost Mazey this year, age 3, from blot. I have a video of Max trying to help one day, as God is my witness, he was picking up brush and carrying it to the brush pile working along side the rest of us.
    The coon cat is an old cat who wondered into our yard one day half dead.
    The black lab came after Mazey was gone. She is much larger now and raises a lot of mischief.
    The buff cat is a 4 month old Himalayan seal point, rag doll type. She thinks she is one of the dogs.
