Dexter, who belongs to some friends, is such a sweet dog. He had so much fun playing in the snow and thankfully he stood still long enough to get a shot of him with some mountains. :)
Dexter is a rough coated Golden Retriever pup, born July 3, 2018.

This face with the muddy chin, eye goop, matted ears that need to be brushed is just too cute. He still steals socks from the laundry, hides under the bed, and loves to play keep away, but he is a sweet boy. Dexter is now three, and we can't quite imagine life without him and his cohort Rory who is also 3 ( I took a photo of him last week).
Eagerly, too, I might add. Like the rest of us here in NEOhio. He's watching the snow and ice give way grudgingly while he dreams of some little walks down the road or some longer ones into the woods.
So...I thought I was gonna get the Dexter with the weird loopy hair?
No. No I did not.
He has like, no hair. So I worked with what I could to give him his pomf hair, but meh. I think its okay, but I love him anyway :P
Cupid: Can you fix it, Poppy?? O.O
Poppy: I'll try my best...
Dexter: *facepalm*
One thing is clear, without treats there is no way to look at the camera!

Just back from exercising and I wanted to try and take a self-portrait today and got everything set up but Dexter wanted my attention. He kept jumping on my head and bringing me his toys so I just decided to try and make it fun. We can be so critical of ourselves and this image makes me cringe in many ways but I like how it reflects my playful side, my strong side and the ridiculousness of my headband. Sharing an image may not seem like an act of bravery but it is for me.
PS I was going to take the image in my garage and started backing my vehicle out but didn't notice the door was partially down. Fortunately, I was lucky and didn't do any damage. I was still a bit shaken up when I took this.
We lost this wonderful dude on Tuesday and our hearts are broken. Never gets easier losing a 4-legged best friend. He was always game to join us on our adventures right up till the end. I'm reminded of one of my favorite Stephen King quotes at a time like this:
"You want to be good for the ones you love, because you know that your time with them will end up being too short, no matter how long it is."
Rest easy little buddy.
TRIPLE-PURPOSE CATTLE for Milk, Draft & Beef
Dexter cattle for Milk
There are many accounts of Dexter milk production reported over the years and those can be found in the books available from the ADCA. It is evident from the literature that Dexter cattle produce plenty of milk for most families. In herds which have been selected for milk production, yields of 3,600 liters per lactation have been reported. To convert that to gallons, divide by 3.79 which results in 950 gallons. If the lactation lasted for 305 days as it does on most dairies in the U.S., the cows would be producing about 3 gallons per day. The milk in that report had 4.1% butterfat content.
Reports from individuals who milk a cow for family use suggest that the production level varies with breeding and feed, but is 1.5 to 2.5 gallons per day. In a survey done by the ADCA Science Committee, some owners shared milk with a calf, while others took all of the milk for family use, so it was difficult to get an exact amount of milk produced. However, in each case the owners were pleased with the quantity and quality of the milk from Dexters.
Dexter cattle for Draft
An ox is merely a steer with a good education, and Dexters do educate well. They are smart, which means that they can pick up a bad habit as quickly as a good one, but this is not generally a problem as long as the ox teamster is always smarter than the oxen. Consistency, fairness, and patience are important with training cattle. It is advisable to begin handling and training the calves within days of their birth. Halter breaking, voice commands, and learning to wear a yoke usually begin early. Then it's time and practice, and there is no substitute for spending hours with your cattle, and no greater pleasure than spending time with your Dexters.
Dexters are agile, trainable, sturdy, little oxen. The larger ones are able to pull a walking plow, logs, and wagons. For the smaller steers, loads certainly have to scaled down. Dexters are intelligent and willing to learn. Their spunk makes them want to pull and do the work asked of them. Putting lots of time into training a yoke of oxen makes any teamster want the pair to last for years. Dexters do generally tend to be blessed with longevity, so this is another plus for them as oxen.
For the serious ox puller, Dexters can stay competitive in the lower weight classes for their entire lives and thus have an advantage over younger, less experienced yokes of cattle.
