Meet Pippy, The Rez Dog That found a Home On the Range [LISTEN]

She's cute isn't she. Her name is Pippy and she comes with a personality and a story.

While I was at live broadcast for The Corn Palace Stampede in Mitchell I had the opportunity to meet Pippy and find out a little more about her and her story. It was a late night, and now, proud owner, Brent Sutton stopped in for fuel and there she was. 'Listen'

While at The Corn Palace Stampede, you might see her wandering around out back with the rough stock and trailers. If you do, now you know, a little more about a nice little dog, named Pippy.

By the way get your tickets to the rodeo and get your friends out and have some fun!

Life on a Cattle Ranch in Western South Dakota

Life is different out in the country. One look at the photo from Robin Bickel and you quickly realize that a workday is quite different as well, after all, she lives out west in South Dakota Cattle Country.

Robin Bickel took time to tell KIKN Country a little bit about her life out west and life as a woman, working outdoors with animals and nature in God's Country. Bickel lives and works on a cattle ranch operated by herself, her father, Jack, and his brother Keith. How far out in the country is she? How does 50 miles west of Mobridge, South Dakota sound? Yep, mountain time out there.

Life is so different in Sioux Falls, South Dakota compared to what our friends on the farm and ranches deal with. It's a half-mile to the grocery store for our family. For Robin, it's 17 miles. However, it's a quick step out her door and she's right in the middle of where a lot of the groceries come from.
