Listen UP! I'm talking to you!
Updated on Dec. 23, 2019
merry christmas
Give us a caption. Kate Dunn (also known as James Wasem's wife) is the genius and artistic talent serving to channel the DIVAS through the written word and illustrations for their now-famous Animal Advice from the Wise Asses column. In working with the DIVAS on their recent letter from a group of caribou who were confused about all the references to flying sleighs, they suggested that she might also create a Merry Christmas illustration of their stockings hanging over the mantel waiting for their much-deserved gifts. After all, they are always on their very best behavior and are confident that Santa has a special bag of gifts just for them. Kate, being the lovely woman she is, obliged with the illustration below. She couldn't help but add socks for captains Lewis and Clark and for her and James' new puppy, Bunna.
The condition of Bunna's sock may draw your attention. Evidently, Bunna is nothing but a puppy terrorist with teeth. Sharp teeth. Teeth that are used on anything within reach—socks, cardboard boxes, human hands. Oh sure, he is as cute as they come, but just look at the photo below of James to see his real nature.
Send your caption for Kate's fun Christmas stocking illustration to [email protected]. Who knows what we might send you back! Be sure to include your mailing address along with your caption.
Check out the DIVAS' latest advice. See what the DIVAS have to say to a group of Canadian woodland caribou wondering about retiring to Montana to escape the cold Canadian winters.
Animal Advice from the Wise Asses
The Dunrovin DIVAS feel it is their civic duty to respond to pleas for advice from less sophisticated and wise animals of the world. Readers beware. The opinions expressed by the DIVAS are not necessarily endorsed by Dunrovin Ranch.

Keeping Warm in Winter![](https://daysatdunrovin.com/wp-content/uploads/pdf-icon.png)
The key to a happy herd in winter is plenty of hay and access to ice-free water. Dunrovin's winter feeding program centers around the daily temperature and wind conditions to alter the amount of hay that is spread. Our goal is to keep the herd continually eating and walking.

Mystery is an 8-year-old goof ball of a horse who is kind, gentle, and very cooperative. He still needs some additional training this summer before he goes to work as a guest horse. Oggy was born at Dunrovin Ranch in May of 2017 and is full of himself. Oggy's world is one of learning - from his mother, his herd mates, and his human handlers.

Each spring, Dunrovin Ranch welcomes little cowboys and cowgirls to the ranch to experience the joys of partnering with horses and ponies. Our after-school pony club and our home school horsemanship classes are the perfect way to transition from the quiet of winter to the hustle and bustle of summer.

Two of Dunrovin Ranch's web cameras are out-of-reach for routine cleaning and maintenance. Both the osprey nest webcam and the ranch webcam sit atop high poles. Assistance from a bucket truck with a skilled operator is needed. Furthermore, the maintenance schedule is dictated by the ospreys!

It is in human nature to be connected to nature. Being in nature contributes in so many ways to our wellbeing. But it is not always possible to go outside in nature. Luckily, there are ways to connect with nature regardless of where you are, and there are people like Hobie Hare to guide us along the way.
