Top Texas Aussies

Well the first day of school has come and gone here on the farm. All my little chicks have flown the coop this year. The dogs always find the school bus and interesting thing. Every morning they go out with the girls to wait for the big yellow monster. They wait with happy eyes because for the 5-10 minutes of waiting with the girls gives them a bunch of attention. They nuzzle and paw to get more attention from all of us. Then off in the distance they hear that rumble coming down the road. It seems as if the dogs know that it is almost time for the kids to leave and so the snuggle a little closer for a last hug and pat. Then the bus arrives with the sound of air brakes whooshing and the door opening. The dogs watch those small people walk onto the big yellow monster. The door closes and with the rumble of a disel engine off they go. As I walk back down the driveway with just the dogs for company we all seem just a little sad. The bright spots of our day are gone and the house feels empty. Good thing I have my dog buddies to keep me company.
