I'm Baaaack....

Okokokokok....
I know, I've been slacking.
I haven't even been around to read my usuals.
I'm trying to catch up though :).

Here's what's been going on.

Mike has finished demolishing the deck.
It looks amazing.
He has done such a good job so far, I can't wait to see the finished project.



We have been cleaning the yards, replanting tree's and bushes and just tending to general maintenance after a somewhat nasty winter.

I have also been struggling with Maisy New Dog.
I am totally not the get a pet don't keep a pet kind a girl, but poor Maisy is giving me the fits.
She has turned our somewhat mindful well behaved group of mutts into an out of control pack.
Chaos has reigned since the day she arrived.
She is completely unresponsive to her name, even with a treat in your hand and full pockets.
We can not call her off of anything, chickens, goats etc...
Once she starts to run theres NO stopping her.
Mike and I followed her through the pasture for an hour this week trying to get her back on the right side of the fence.
My fear is, she will get in with the donkeys and be stomped, or worse yet, get out on the road and be hit.
So, here's my dilemma.
Do we find her a new home (remember, she is already a two time used dog) or deal with it?
We have tried working with her on the basics, sit, stay, come...... nothing, nada, no go.
What does one do when faced with a bad dog dilemma?
