Dempsy's 3rd birthday

[Dempsy's Mom]

Things are slowly coming back to normal. We are all done in the fields - now we are bringing home cattle from the pastures. Demps is happy to have me around all day again. I had a couple of videos from his birthday that I finally unloaded. It was a cold blustery day, but for the most part I think Demps enjoyed coming along in the grain cart. We saw lots of wildlife - pheasants, deer, coyote - and Demps did get some good sniffers in. It was an ok day.

What a great way for a Cairn to spend a birthday. What a "natural" for a farm dog that Demps is. I really enjoyed the video--with Demps riding in the harvester, the big old rooster out the window, and that wood pile investigation. All the things a Cairn enjoys in one place.

So sweet... I love Demps the farm yard dog series!

Happy Birthday Dempsy. I can't see the videos but it sounds like you had a great day. Wishing you many many more.

Looks like a pretty cool birthday for a cool dog! As always, thank you for sharing! Love your videos of life on the farm!

Happy birthday, Dempsey! Nice way to spend a day on the farm, and you got to enjoy sniffing around and barking at cows. Packy loves to bark at cows, too!

Oh wow Demps - what a great way to spend your Birthday. Riding and sniffing and barking (and no leash best of all) - sure looks like you were cut out to be a farm dog.

Fascinating video - Demps looks so at home surveying the land from the machine. I think it particularly interesting seeing your American Farm as used to smaller farms here in UK.

Demps Kelly and I would have liked to be with you. Great video, I just can't get enough of Demps the farmer.

Happy birthday to Demps!!

Also the video makes me want to go to SD!! SO much land! Amazing!!

Demps may be stretching the definition of "crofter's dog" to a typically American scale (this is after all a vast country) - but there can be no doubt he's in his element.

I sure love these videos. I know to you this is life and serious work. For this child of the suburbs, the sight of Demps in the field just rings and resonates all the most pleasurable aspects of weekends on the farm where we host our earthdog tests. We know the dogs love it there - those just visiting and our host's own Dachshunds! Dogs and farms are a time-honored union.

What a grand birthday you had, Dempsy! You are the envy of all "city Cairns"!

[BetsyNoodle]

Happy Birthday, Dempsy! Sure looks like you had a most enjoyable day!!

[Hawkeye]

Happy Birthday, Demps! Bailey & Radar want to know if you need any help on the farm. I do love watching your videos on the Farm since I am also from the suburbs...very fascinating.

Happy birthday, Dempsy! Three has been a great year for Tanner...may it be the same for you!!

[Kathryn]

Wow - we would ALL love to visit. If my dogs ever got out there, I don't think I could entice them back to the city...

Happy Birthday Demps! Kirby sends a special "Woof" for two reasons, one you two look a lot alike and two, his birthday is tomorrow! Dempsy really looks like he takes his farming responsibilities seriously! What a great little guy!
