Clean cribs

Proverbs says, where no oxen are the crib is clean, but much increase comes by way of the ox.

In other words, if you want a clean stall, don’t have any oxen. But there is a great benefit to having the oxen.

Winston has been wanting a German Shepherd for months. We haven’t had a dog in a few years. When we did, he was a perfectly behaved, clean, Siberian Husky named Benjamin Barker. We raised him from twelve weeks on until he was struck by lightning.

All of our animals as of late have been of the barnyard variety: goats, chickens, rabbits and ducks. Barnyard animals stay in the barnyard. We haven’t had indoor animals in a while. Now I remember why.

We didn’t just end up with a German Shepherd named Dakota, but her friend, a lab / newfoundland mix named Bentley. Two big dogs in our house. It’s a bit of an adjustment to be sure.

There is an increase, though. The smile on Winston’s face has never been bigger.
