From Saskatchewan Farmers’ Voice (Fall 2020 issue) Name: Molly Home Quarter: RM of Mariposa #350 Age: 7 years ... Breed: Great Dane Family: The Welter-Cibeles About Molly: As a Great Dane, Molly loves to sleep and is happiest when she gets a solid 18-20 hours of sleep per day. She loves to chase rabbits and deer, though is unsure what to do with them should she ever catch one. She enjoys short games of fetch and will happily return the ball or stick up to five times before she decides to lay down. Firefighter Max loves her and she tolerates him. Good dog, Molly!

Name: Jackson Age: 14 years Home Quarter: RM of Prince Albert #461 Breed: Samoyed/Siberian Husky cross Family: The Barmby-Halcros... About Jackson: Jackson has been a wonderful family dog and protector of the farmyard. He shares the farm with Appaloosa horses and spends his days and nights checking on them. Jackson stays outside day and night. He has a doghouse but prefers to sleep on his mat by the patio door or under a large deck attached to the house. Jackson is a dog who takes care of unwanted pests that show up in the yard! Yes, garter snakes, gophers, wild rabbits, skunks, porcupines, muskrats. On one occasion he killed an unwanted raccoon and has put another up a wooden beam on the deck! His job now is to train a three-month old German Shepherd puppy (Hank). They are doing fine and the puppy has the best teacher who will be greatly missed whenever that sad day arrives! Hopefully not for a while yet! Love you Jackson!
