Terrible Tuesday; sort of

Today we woke up to no water. It was also very cold. We stayed indoors til the sun came up and the fire warmed the house. It seems a leaky pipe in the back was straying water all over the back. Turned off the water and then all was OK. We tried to start the truck to take the ram to butcher but dead battery. Hooked it up to car for a jump and then charged it in the barn. Rounded up the ram with Alfie and loaded him up. We are shopping for car/truck insurance to reduce our premiums a bit. We'll see what develops. Hope tomorrow gets warmer and no problems.

Wally

Today we received Wally's DNA certificate.
He is now Narita Farms Will to Win "Wally" DNA-VP.
It is a cold, windy day and supposed to be 25 tonight. Fires and indoor activities.

Tucson Sunday

Today we went to Tucson. We purchased 9 doors for $300 which we saw on Craig's list. We want to put them in the living room where the windows are located. Hank has his work cut out for him. We did some shopping at Costco for dog food, etc. Came home with a big following wind and dust on the playa. Sure was good to be come. The dogs were so glad to see us also. What's up with the chickens? We've been getting one a day. Come on girls; give us more eggs. Wally's sister Wish had her puppies today. She lives in MN and had 9 beautiful tri Aussie puppies.

Quiet Saturday

Today we bought 2 dog crates from a neighbor we hadn't met. She does rescue. She has a Sheltie and a Dobie. Nice crates so we can use them for traveling with dogs. It was very cold this a.m. but it warmed up to about 65 which was OK. Fed Sarah's sheep and all is well.

Happy Thanksgiving

Today is the day the Lord made. It is cold and we are going to cook a turkey. The dogs will love the leftovers too. No special plans; we'll see what develops. The man who wanted the couch never called; ram going in for butcher Monday; life is good.

Saturday

Yesterday we took Wally to the dog show. We met with some of our wonderful friends and had a great time. Wally was wonderful and accepted everything about the show except he didn't like the blow dryers. Dawn got to see him and might breed her Quiche to him. Today we retrieved the JD and got some fresh milk from Fred. The tire got off the rim again; bummer. It was a bit breezy but not cold. Marc and Rona came by to see the place and pay for their ram lamb. Alfie showed him what she could do by rounding up the sheep near the barn; good girl. She just loves to work sheep. We also got a call about the couch. The guy is coming Tuesday so we'll see. Taking the ram to the butcher in the a.m.

Glorious Friday

Today we received Wally's OFA report and it was excellent. So very excited and glad. We gave him a bath this afternoon and he was also bathed in warm sunshine. Sleeping in the laundry room to keep clean. Off to the show in Tucson to meet his intended; so very happy!!
