Gone Home

All our April puppies have gone to their new homes. It is quiet around here and sort of empty. We are planning another litter this fall. Until then, I will miss holding gentle puppies on my lap. The kittens will have to do.

Love That Texas Attitude!

These pups are going to the “mother-land”, Texas.  They will live on a ranch outside of Dallas, guarding goats, horses, and a lot of cattle. I really enjoyed talking with their new owners. The puppies names are “Smith and Wesson”. It fits.

Now This

The sheep have delivered all their lambs, two litters of puppies have arrived, and I am finished planting “Garden 2012”.  Now this! Isa.40:31  Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

Number 8 and Number 9 Polypay lambs were born last night. We had plans to go to a concert. That changed big time! The only concert we heard was the musical sound of sheep making the “baaaa” sound out in the barn. Mom and babies are doing good ! The update on the smallest lamb […]

For The Birds

All types and varieties of wild birds are swooping down in our back yard. They are collecting white fur shed by my Great Pyrenees dogs. It will make wonderful lining for the nests they are building in the old pine trees.  Smart birds!
