As barn dogs, there is always a lot of tasks for Trooper and I to do. And to be honest, this farm just wouldn’t run properly without us.

Trooper is always on my case to help him be a lookout. “Lookout for low flying birds” “Lookout for cars pulling down the farm driveway” “Lookout for anything suspicious and out of the ordinary”

I on the other hand usually have my own ideas about what we should be actually looking out for.

What about “Lookout for the snakes that accidentally get baled in the hay”

Or “Lookout for yummy missed poop in the pony stalls”

“Lookout for people in boots who might mistakenly step on you”

And “Lookout for ponies who look cute, but are really thinking maybe they didn’t get enough to eat”.

So Trooper can keep a lookout for strangers who might want to brush our ponies (the horror), and whatever other boring stuff he comes up with….

…and I’ll continue to lookout for the important stuff. Because we all know that pony poop isn’t going anywhere except for my belly!
