Westies make great bird dogs! 😂❤️

Emma spent the morning hunting doves with my brother and me. I couldn’t have been more impressed with this little girl. 🐾

And on a side note, a little reminder for anybody who needs it today. Don’t worry about a thing. Everything is going to be okay! You got this! ❤️

Well, I finally managed to get the full video of Cheeto’s doctoring video posted on YouTube! 😂

This is what everything looked like from the other camera, with Emma trying to supervise the entire operation.

YouTube is the only place that’s let me keep the full video up so far. For those of y’all who wanted to see it, it’s over there now!

Just a heads-up, the YouTube version does show the draining, so it might not be for everybody. 🐗

🐷 Full doctoring video on YouTube! Link in the comments!

Well, after reading some of the comments about Emma being out on the ranch, we decided it was time to step up our safety precautions. 😂🐾

Protective vest? ✅
Goggles? ✅
Boots? ✅
Helmet? ✅

She may not be breaking any speed records in those boots, but at least she’s ready for another day at Draper Ranch! ❤️

Is she finally ranch-ready? 🤣

Alright, pig people... I need some advice!

I noticed a strange growth on Cheeto's chest, and I'm not exactly sure what we're dealing with.

Now, I'm a cattle guy, not a pig guy. I've dealt with plenty of lumps and abscesses on cattle over the years, but hogs are a whole different ballgame.

After chasing Cheeto around her pen for a minute, ! finally got my hands on her long enough to get a good look at it. It's soft, squishy, and definitely has me wondering what it could be.

For those of y'all who have raised pigs, have you ever seen anything like this? What do you think it could be?

I'm not about to start poking or cutting on something without knowing what I'm dealing with.

Let me hear what y'all think!

Y'all don't see much of Abi around here.

At 14 years old, she's pretty much retired and enjoying the easy life these days.

But there was a time when this sweet girl was my best buddy and right by my side through just about everything.

She's been through a whole lot with me over the years.

From countless trips through the woods to saving my life on more than one occasion when things got a little too close for comfort with feral hogs. And even as she's gotten older, she's always kept a watchful eye over the kids.

I just love how healthy and strong she still is at 14 years old.

She may be an old lady now, but she's still got that same heart she's always had.

Just wanted to show this sweet girl a little love today.

She's spent her life looking out for us, and now it's our turn to make sure she enjoys every bit of her retirement. ❤️🐾

Well, Emma domesticated Cheeto before I could. 😂🐷❤️

Lately, I’ve noticed that every time Emma gets around Cheeto’s pen, the two of them act like they’ve been friends forever. They’ll touch noses through the fence, and when Emma runs up and down the outside of the pen, Cheeto follows her every step of the way.

Well, the other day I went inside Cheeto’s pen to change out her water, and Emma decided to sneak in right behind me.

Before I could even blink, Emma jumped straight into the water trough with Cheeto. 😂

And this is what I turned around to see.

I guess these two have officially decided they’re best friends. ❤️

Just another day at Draper Ranch.

From #133 to Cheeto.

A lot of y'all have been following this girl since the beginning, and we made it official.

The old 133 tag that everybody knows came off, and her new custom tag went on. Her name, our Draper Ranch brand, and a permanent place to call home.
That old number will always be part of her story, but this is where she belongs.

Welcome home, Cheeto.❤️

Bath. Blow dry. Tucked in under a blanket.

Just another long day of hard work being Emma.

Part 2 🐗🐗

We still had 6 hogs left to
load, and the little ones were small enough to slip out, so I ended up on babysitting duty while Triston got the trailer hooked up.

Then, just when I thought we were done, Emma tried to follow the baby pigs right into the trailer.

Westies have absolutely ZERO fear.

Cheeto Part 2 was supposed to go up tonight… but food poisoning had other plans for me. 🤦‍♂️

Sorry for the delay, y’all. I’m finally starting to feel human again, and I’ll have the updated Cheeto video posted tomorrow.
