I sure love Buddy's toothless smile! He lost his first few teeth playing "The Bones Are All Mine" with his sister Angel, a big yellow lab when he was about 3. He would take all her rawhide bones, line them up under my desk in a perfect row and guard them with his life. At times there were 6 or 7 bones. Bones are a great way to give an energetic dog hours of jaw exercise and we dealt with Buddy's control issue by buying them in bulk at Costco and handed Angel new ones frequently. One day Angel decided she was done playing the game. It went down in front of me, she told him that was her bone and warned him not to take it. He stepped forward and took it anyway. She opened her jaw and wrapped it around his neck and pushed him down. He screamed bloody murder and wiggled fiercly trying to get away. Before I knew it she let him go, no puncture wounds, no scrapes. But a few months later his breath smelled like he was eating rotten meat and out came a few rotten teeth! I think Angel gets credit for 5 of the missing 8 teeth in his mouth. Then there's the time with the coyote. I usually only let Buddy go outside in the morning if all my other big dogs are out with him. But one morning I had 2 females inside as I was taking them to get spayed. I heard my big dog let out a roar and saw a coyote taking off across the field. I let my two females out and watched them chase the coyote the rest of the way off the property and started calling for Buddy. I searched for about 45 minutes realizing I was on a recovery mission, my heart broken. As I came back to the house I saw Buddy being brought up the hill by my 5 other dogs! He was limping bad, covered in blood and mud, oh you should have seen him - the most beautiful sight to my eyes! My little tough man was alive! He had been wearing a spiked Harley collar and the 12 or so puncture wounds on his neck only went so deep! And that coyote who gets credit for the other 3 missing teeth, well you should have seen it running away after meeting Bud the Stud!
So my boyfriend is now usually seen sleeping with his tongue hanging out his mouth, but I happen to think he's still good looking! How coud I not love that smile! I've cared for hundreds of animals in my life but never before have I met an animal like him. Whether I'm laughing, crying, cleaning, cooking, meditating, sleeping or exploring, there he is!

4 adjoining 2.5 acre treed lot for sale in Pinehill, New Mexico about 2 hours W of Albuquerque in peaceful Pine Meadows Ranches by Ramah and the Zuni PUeblo. Totals 10 acres with a beautiful view of the back side of El Morro National Monument! One hour S of Gallup and one hour W of Grants NM near the Arizona State line. This is a fascinating rural area, well off the beaten path and once home to a 900 room Anasazi Pueblo - wow what a place to explore! All of the photos were taken of the property and its surrounding views in April 2017. I started on Peaceful Drive and walked across the 10 acres to Ranch Drive. Lots 256 & 257 sit on Peaceful Drive which is a bladed dirt road. There is a neighbor adjoining lot # 256 to the north as seen in the photos and aerial photos. Lots 248 & 249 sit along Ranch Drive, one of the main graveled roads thru the ranch. There is a neighbor across the street to the Sw of lot #248. There is power running about 3/10 mile SE at lots #276 & 277. You would need to contact the local power company for the cost to bring it to the property. The property is mostly flat with a gentle roll from the south down to the north. It is an open grassy lot with a few trees sprinkled mostly along the sides of the roads. It appears there are more trees on the lots that sit to the south. I noticed a stake at the corner where we pulled up along Peaceful Drive and another orange marker along Ranch Drive. Wow what a view it has of the rich stripes that run thru the mesa on the backside of El Morro National Monument from the NW to the N! Oh I love that view! The trees on the mesa actually run from the W to the N to the E and surrounds this part of the valley. From the SW to the SE is a view of the thicker trees. There a community well in the ranch that property owners can use to haul water for their own use. You can read more about it on the land owner’s website. We have included a link to their website where you can read the covenants as well. I've read the Ramah Navajo Chapter also has a community well with no fee to join. You would need to buy a water card and pay for the water. The well is just a few miles from Candy Kitchen Ranch on the way to Pinehill. The water is treated with ultraviolet light to purify without the taste of chemicals. The well is very fast. Takes no time at all to fill up a 500 gallon tank and it is not far from the property. I've spent a lot of personal time having fun in this area. I've camped and had a fun time exploring in an ATV and watching the sunsets over Pine Meadows! I've also trekked to the top of El Morro National Monument and hiked along the east side of Pine Meadow Ranches at the edge of the 200 foot sandstone as it drops to the valley floor! I've visited the prehistoric cliff dwellings in Ramah, the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary in Candy Kitchen and Bluewater Lake State Park in Prewitt. I included several photos of these in the additional photos areas! The area is made up of old ranchers, artists, people living off grid in alternative style homes, and is a diverse group of people. The nearest big grocery store is an hour away but plenty of smaller stores in the community. Pinehill has a small shopping center about 15 miles SW. 16 miles SW is the small community of Candy Kitchen which has a great trading post for supplies like milk, hardware, laundromat and a great sub sandwich! Across the street is the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary. I often stay at the cabins at El Morro RV Park & Cabins about 15 minutes N in front of the big sandstone and grab a fabulous cup of coffee and one of their decadent baked goodies as I head out. It sure is beautiful waking up there after the snow has fallen – stunning to watch the giant sandstone monument wake up as the sun lights her up! There is a cute little country store right across the street that says along its front yard wall "All I have is my planting stick and my corn. If you can live as I do you are welcome to live with me." It comes from the Hopi, a Native America Nation who primarily live on the 1.5 million acre Hopi Reservation in northeaster Arizona. Hopis call themselves Hopitu - 'The Peaceful People'. I seldom come across this many adjoining lots in Pine Meadow Ranches and it sure would be nice to see them stay together! They are already subdivided though and it's your choice of lots! Enjoy! Char the Explorer : )
Cibola County is located in the southernmost tip of the Rocky Mountains in the Zuni Mountain Range and home of the Cibola National Forest and Bluewater Lake State Park. Its very rich in history and for the past 220 million years has been host to a variety of travelers including the dinosaurs and prehistoric culture called the Ancient Ones.
I've spent quite a bit of time exploring this area over the years. I've marveled at the rock windows in the Prehistoric Cliff Dwellings, saw petroglyph writings for my first time, explored archaeological sites, camped, toured the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary a few times, hiked to the top of El Morro National Monument, sat on a warm rock outcroppings with my sister staring for miles across the Zuni Mountains, and watched Buddy sniff out lizards!
Candy Kitchen is a small isolated community and home to a diverse group of people. It prides itself on sustainable ways of living. It originated with a rancher who made moonshine liquor during the prohibition era. As a front for purchasing large amounts of sugar to produce his liquor, he manufactured pinon nut candy. People would come to his ranch to purchase candy over the counter and illegal liquor under the counter. It is now home of the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing permanent, safe sanctuary for abused and abandoned captive-bred wolves and wolf-dogs.
Across the street from the wolf sanctuary is the Candy Kitchen Trading Post, a great spot to stop for a cold drink and great sub sandwich. They offer food items, propane, wood, and hardware supplies.
Pine Meadow Ranches is another small community that sits on the back side of the El Morro National Monument. Also known as the Inscription Rock it rises 200 feet above the plains this was once the site of two Anasazi Pueblos in 1275 A. D. The largest pueblo was made up of over 900 rooms. Hundreds of Indian petroglyphs are found at the base as well chiseled names of numerous explorers, soldiers, settlers, and immigrants. This sandstone has been known for thousands of years for the pool of water by the great rock offering a resting stop.
This area today is designated a National Park. On MLK Day in January 2013 Buddy and I finally had the opportunity to visit El Morro National Monument. We trekked around the bottom checking out the pool of water and inscriptions. I especially liked the carving by a young woman, A F Baley (America Francis Baley,) who was one of the few females to sign it. Her and her sister were with a party crossing to California and stopped here for rest. 500 miles west they were involved in a skirmish with Indians and several died on each side. The sisters eventually did find their way to California and I am left thinking what brave women they were and wow what it must have been like to have been alive back then!
We then got brave and took the two mile trail up to the top of the mesa to see the ancient pueblo ruins. There were some stairs along the way and it was a good work out but ahead of me was a woman at least 20 years older and if she could do it so could I! She snapped a photo of me at the ruins and you can see for miles over the valley from up there - just stunning! And then I turned around and realized that the tree lines in the distance and the beautiful rocks with their red and white colors washed thru them were the same rocks I had been photographing for over 10 years now while out exploring Pine Meadow Ranches!
In February 2013 I explored the east edge of Pine Meadow Ranches where the edge of the sandstone mesa is! Wow was it a long way down and I was nervous when my friend climbed out onto one of the rocks hanging 200 feet over the rocks below!

I stopped by Bluewater Lake State Park for my first time in September 2016. Its about 25 miles W of Grants and 1.25 hours from the ranch. I was surprised to see herons and pelicans and had to do some fact checking to make sure they indeed lived here!
