Dogs

People are always so interested when we take cute gentle little Denver out for walks in town; the response to him is beyond what we expect. Kids come over to him, even adults are interested. It seems dogs are not kept as house pets here. To have a house dog is an anomaly because they consider dogs to be work animals. This is Parker Ranch territory where cattle dogs tend to the herd, guard dogs protect your property, and hunting dogs head up the mountain with their gun and bow totten' masters. Pick-up trucks can be seen with dogs in the back almost everywhere we go in this area - and these are NOT your nice little companion animals - these are tough, mangy, mean looking curs.
