About Me

I live in the Pacific Northwest on a derelict century-old dairy farm that I’m trying to bring back into production. I am a software engineer at Philips, I work on medical imaging ultrasound machines, mostly on user interface features. I have four Border Collies, which are the primary motivation for the farm– they need livestock on which to practice their skills, which we occasionally enjoy putting to the ultimate test at local Stockdog Trials.

    Now that I know you’re a software engineer, your technical expertise with other things… fencing, tractoring… makes great sense!

    Love, Wardeh

    Your new LGD is doing her job. I had to stop and take a good look at her and she told me that the flock and pasture were hers so to move on. I thought she might be a Great Pyrenees until I came home and read about her. Your blog and your pasture happenings are fascinating. I am glad your dad forwarded the information after Dolly went surfing.

    Hey Joanie, good to hear from you! She does seem to be doing a good job, though she makes me smile-I can see her from the window, that she half play-bows at visitors, she is still SO silly. A dog-savvy person would probably not feel afraid to go in there, but everyone else might! There sure have been a lot of stoppers-by looking at the lambs!
