Tuesday

Went to the big city of Tucson yesterday. Did shopping and got lots done. Sue bought Checkers, aka Reason, and they are doing well together. Sue has a 16-yr old BC and they love each other. She will be a therapy dog one of these days as Sue is a nurse. Last night was DH's 85th birthday so we had dinner at Elks Club. Good food; alternative energy presentation was the reason. It was OK but not used in mobile homes.

Nice Sunday

We sold Moose to Nancy yesterday. His new name is Jacob "Jake." He will have a great home. Nancy works at Dr. Meredith's office. Jake will go to work with her every day for a year. Now we have 5 more to sell. Last night Dale and Nancy came over for corned beef and cabbage. We sat with the pups and had a great time.

Hot Afternoon with Rain

Today it should rain for sure as there are clouds and is hot already at 6 a.m. Yesterday we played with the puppies and put them in the water. Also took more photos for the local news lady to use on her noon news.

HOT!

Today we had a very hot day of 104 so far. It had promise with some storm clouds in the distance. Got a email for a female so we hope to place her this weekend. Another lady coming for a black tri male. Puppies are so fun!

New tomato plants

Finally found some nice plants at Connie's place. Planted them this a.m. It was 103 degrees this afternoon; too hot to work too long. Got some seeds planted and a few melon starts. Tomorrow should be windy; then cloudy and maybe rain Sunday; can't wait.

Flag Day

Happy Flag Day. Today we gave the puppies their 2nd series of 5-way shots. It is a lovely day and not too windy.

Sunday, June 13th

Happy Birthday Daddy. Still miss you after all these years. Blue merle female went to Amee and Danny and their nice family in Tucson. They'll enjoy her and be a great family.

Sidney

Today Megan and Charles picked up their Aussie BTF pup. Her name is Sidney and they are so excited. They live in Vail, AZ. The puppies have been relaxing in the old round pen under the shade tent. We get real strong winds so DH had to tie it down to keep it from blowing away. He tied it down on 2 ends. The puppies found the string and proceeded to chew it off. DH is going to use cable instead. Sometimes husbands don't listen to their wives. Watched the new show on Animal Planet called The Last Cowboy (or something like that). Showed real life in 3 old ranching families. I'm glad we are retired and not required to work that hard in such a harsh environment. It is a good show but not for the faint of heart. It is on for a hour on Monday nights. It will be a regular on our DVR. Hubby is working on his tomato patch and it should be a real nice one. I did some weeding in the big garden early as it has been so very hot after about 11 a.m. Looking forward to temps in the 90's (instead of 100) this weekend. Julian is coming this Saturday to see our Blue Merle Female pup. She will have a good home with his daughter. What a great dad to buy his girl a puppy.

Old Gas Road

Hank is reworking the old gas road today to make it passable and with no weeds. Pups are growing up so fast. They enjoy being in the round pen with Chula. I called Terry yesterday about Bella. She is enjoying her new puppy and claims she is so smart. We knew that though. Need to put another ad in the Tucson paper for the other 8 puppies. They need new photos also. Going to be hot this weekend; 100's predicted.
