The Collies of Chimacum Valley

This is a series of Children’s books honoring the Border Collies being raised on farms and homesteads in our area.  The books follow generations of beautiful Border Collies first introduced to the areas in the 1950s.  Meet Thunder, Lucy, River, and Old Ben. Learn about how Old Ben was purchased from the Basque sheepherders of Eastern Washington in 1958 and became the sire of many famous farming dogs still alive.

In The Adventures of Thunder the Wonder Puppy, you meet Thunder and her mother Lucy. You also meet Thunders’s father, Zeus of Marrowstone Island. Zeus is known for running the Orcas.

In the second book of the series, OLD BEN, you meet the old man of the valley who has now passed on but became an integral part of the farming scene in the Chimacum area by siring several generations of working dogs. His adventures traveling from Basque culture to dairy farm make him a champion herder dog in the area.  He learns to herd cows with the help of nearby cattle dogs and saves the farm from disaster along with his best friend, a very zany rooster named Mad Max.  Old Ben will be published in the summer of 2021.

Ellen is in the last stages of writing a book about Native Plant ecology and traditions.  The book also documents her 50-year generation learning and using native plants for medicine, utility, and ecological restoration.
