The changing of the guard began yesterday. Ranchsitter #1 departed and Ranchsitter #2 arrived, after some
carefully orchestrated maneuvers involving the transfer of the ranch truck and key at the airport.
I got to stay home and keep my fingers crossed that it all worked. It did.
If you've read this blog for any length of time, you probably recognize Ranchsitter #2.
Smooch remembers Danni as the friend who pulls cool squeaky stuff out of her suitcase.
Smooch: Thank you so much for coming to help us, Danni.
Smooch: ***smooch***
You can tell Smooch loves Danni. We all love Danni for coming out and giving you a ranch hand. Good luck this week. I hope the snake stories have ended for Danni's sake.
ReplyDeleteBest always,
Smooch's looks in the second picture is priceless :) I like Danni. She can roll around in the dust like the best of them ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, you can see they really have a special bond. That's so cool!
ReplyDeleteNice to see it worked out. Hope ranch sitter One (your Sis) travels safely home. And welcome ranch Sitter 2. What a great series of photos, I love the one where Smooch has her paw on Dannis arm. I hope everything continues to go well for you all.

Smooch is a lucky pup and you're a lucky gal to have Danni there for a while. Hope you're feeling a bit better, day by day. I miss Danni's blog, used to read it all the time.
ReplyDeleteSmooch sure knows how to welcome guests and thank them for their gifts eh ;-) You are very fortunate to have such good friends !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDanni's Back! Smooch must be beside herself with all this company. Let the craziness ensue.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Danni is back at the ranch. But not as glad as Smooch is.
ReplyDeleteyou are blessed to have sister and friends to move in and help, those first few photos made me smile at the way Smooch was on guard waiting and the last smooch made me want to smooch smooch toooo
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwww......... What a happy reunion :-)
ReplyDeleteThe welcome of a great dog is priceless. Smooch is smaller than I thought, but certainly lives up to her name. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad Danni has the time to help you out, and I know Smooch's siblings will be glad to see her again! I wonder what Johnny Cash Cat thinks of the new people working his ranch?
ReplyDeleteKeep getting better,
Nancy in Iowa
Aww...Smooch the best kisser in town!
ReplyDeleteSmooch has the quizical look of the RCA Victrola dog in the second shot. She's sure happy to see Danni and I bet you are too. Sis is gonna have some great stories to tell when she gets home.
ReplyDeleteSo glad Danni is there! She'll have you perked up in no time!
ReplyDeleteHi Danni!!! You're going to have a blast this week - and I think you're up to snake wrangling in a pinch!
ReplyDeleteIt's really nice to see you.
I had a feeling Danni would be one of your ranch sitters. Smooch sure is happy to see her again! I would love to pop on over from AZ to help out with all your critters...but I would need a ranch sitter here. :) I have a feeling the boys (and Miss Lucy) are going to get some serious spoiling this week! Have fun-but not too much...
ReplyDeleteThe photos are just too precious. How wonderful that well laid plans worked out for Ranch Sitter 1 to pass the torch to Ranch Sitter 2. You gals got a well oil machine going there. Hiya Danni. Oma Linda
ReplyDeleteI miss Danni's blog and wish she'd start it up again.
ReplyDeleteLooks like this ranchsitter visit will be lots of fun-especially for Smooch!
Smooch is too cute !!!
ReplyDeleteLove this!
ReplyDeleteSmooch is happy, you are happy and we are all happy about Danii! wow she is very efficient already! did she bring something for Johnny?
ReplyDeleteAdorable. So glad you're home and have people to help you. That dog toy is a riot too...I thought it was a plastic squid at first! Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteCarson,
ReplyDeleteYou girls are going to have so much fun. So wonderful to have such great critter lovers to step in and help out! Please post lots of pics. Hugs and well wishes!
Danni,
Girl, you have been missed so much! So glad to see your alive and well! Hope everything good for you! Your mama, your critters, etc. I have resorted to going back to the beginning to get my fix. Missing you!
Deb from Viola, KS
I agree with the others. We miss you Danni.
ReplyDeleteThose head cocked pictures of Smooch are some of the best pics you have ever posted here. And you've posted some doozies! Happy healing and may the snakes stay away!
ReplyDeleteHave fun playing all of you and keep everything fed!
ReplyDeleteJo
So the rumours are true - you Can get good help these days. Smooch sure loves her Danni. That toy was a definite score, judging by Smooch's face (and subsequent kisses).
