| Sheep. Dogs.
An abandoned baby lamb thinks she's a sheepdog after being adopted by
three dogs. Roxy eats
dog biscuits, chases after balls and comes running to a whistle.
Smallholder Liz Shankland says Roxy is a "bit of an embarrassment to
her species really."

Road Trip
| Go Local. Go Now!  All year long Oregon growers, shearers, farmers, fishers, and vintners
are busy tending their trade and feeding their passion. One of the many
things I love about Oregon is the incredible bounty the land yields up
and the gumption of those with the moxy to grow, concoct, refine,
nurture, package, market and sell ... stuff. Wine, cheese, meat, berries, fruit, fish, nuts, vegetables, beer,
spirits, yarn: Autumn is a great time of year to reap the many efforts
of Oregon's own purveyors. READ MORE
