MY LONG WEEKEND

So, I figured I would spruce up the outside of the house a bit & bought a gorgeous hanging plant, which looked wonderful for approx. a week or so......not sure where I went wrong!!! Here are the before & after shots...poor plant!
Now I'm not so easily discouraged, so I thought I would try my hand at sprucing up the back of the house.....I am very pleased with how it looks, so I took pictures to show everyone in case they die!!! I will make sure to water them faithfully so that doesn't happen! In case you are wondering, I DID water the hanging plant!

So, what do you think Brad & Tate did while I was sweating away planting?

Brad doing what he enjoys......

Tate doing what he enjoys.....
It's been a great weekend so far!

DAWSON


Yesderday Dawson lost his battle with cancer, he was only 7 yrs. old. He lived with his best friend Katie, who lives in Thunder Bay. Dawson was diagnosed in Feb. this year & he & Katie fought very hard to win this battle, unfortunately it was a battle they couldn't win. However, Dawson enjoyed every moment of everyday doing things he enjoyed, as only dogs can. Going on walks with his pal Henley & doing lots of tracking!
I'm sure he is on the Rainbow Bridge right now , following all the tracks of the animals that came before him!


Good Bye Dawson, I'll miss you.......

PUPPIES !!!!





Well here they are folks, the first pictures of some of the puppies. They are 9 days old in these photos. I have found a kennel from which to get my new addition! I am going to Davenloch Kennels in Leduc Alberta. The pedigree is very similar to both Tate & Drake, & 4 generations back is the sire of my last collie Drake!! I am so excited I can barely stand it.
Pictured are 4 of the 7 males....the puppies were too hungry to stay still for very long, but I will be getting more pictures soon & I will post them.
This is the first time I have been involved in picking my own puppy. Tate & Drake came from Massachutes, so my breeder Peg, picked them out for me. My first collie Ben was 8 weeks old already & the only male!
Enjoy!
