As usual, the summer has been filled with activities of all kinds. Bogey finally made his first visit to church... we have been so busy on the weekends, that I fear we haven't been in church as much as we should..it felt good to be back and see all our friends. Bogey was very good, settled in quite well, and remained quiet for the whole service.
Dog classes have been going on all summer as well, though during the month of August, I am taking a little time off. This was the graduation of the puppy class... what a nice group they were (are) and many of them plan to move onto higher education come fall.
You all remember little Amy, my Mom and Dad's new girl. Well, she has been in classes and is doing quite a good job. She has quickly made her way into every one's hearts. Her little buddy here is Henry... my cousin's little dog who attended the puppy class as well. He's a sweetie pie too...
The last Tuesday in July, was our annual dog obedience demo put on by my dog club. This is always a big hit in town, and we had a great crowd of both members and spectators. We even made the local papers this year.
It always goes well, but for some reason, I am usually a wreck the day before it all comes together. I don't know why either, we have only done this for 20 + years, with no troubles, but I do worry. One thing I always fear is "will the show be long enough" and just like every other year .. it goes way over. By the time we pick up and chat with all the folks that like to see the dogs... we're there for the entire evening.
And bit by bit, we are working on increasing the pasture size. So happy to have this post hole digger, I don't know what we would do without it. Trouble is, the days have been so hot that we get three or posts in, and both of us have had enough. Maybe by fall, we'll have it all done!!!
And this wonderful white box contains a few good things.....
Yup, those would be turkeys!!! We ordered them several weeks ago, and thought they would be in much sooner than this. But either way, they should be "ready" by the time the holidays roll around. Right now they are cute, yellow and fuzzy, and it's hard to think about eating them, but by the time, "that time" arrives, they are usually big, white and ugly (both in looks and temperament) and we're happy to see them go. But for now, we will enjoy them as babies, and think about they're leaving at another point in time.
