i wish ...i really knew how to include a picture here's a try..
this is xubby from czech -- we have a deposit on him
and he will be shipped pet air from frankfurt at 10 or 12 weeks
he is from the claudia bohemia kennel -- has a facebook?? the merle????
- which has dogs that look like chaos...
and before any of the internet experts get critical of breediong a merle dog,, go to the color charts
that i have posted and will send to anyone requesting them-- with over 300 dogs,
i find this chart extrememly accurate with the colors prooduced
and teh % of those colors is also pretty accurate too/-- most receintly breeding a white to a black
said we would get merles and harls-- and we did --- 7 merles aND ONE HARL...

wildflowers-- hopefully flowers that are wild and don't need all th etender loving carte of rosebushes and other expensive plantings..
i did go round yesterday with a bucket of topsiol aqnd ploped some wherever ther was a sunny spot-- with hopes of scattering some wildflowers for a cheerly interlude...

i have forgotten what they call teh back axle of a car that has a seat on it and shaves-- it is used to train draft horses-- and can be used as a towing vehicle... it might be fun to be able to drag the paths while seated behind mo.. or heaven forbid... pockets....
our stone dust paTHS ARE A WONDERFUL ADDITION... AROUND THE POND AND ATTACHED TO "A" FIELD... THE 2 FOUNTAinsw are now working - thanks to bud and skipp and aq few others...
they do make a soothing noise --

in an effort to get green something growing... i think i will have to fencde off part of teh pond area so we can still iuse that for exercise so teh small gate will be "locked" for teh time being but we can still use teh pond for running... laura pointed out if she puts teh dog s in "A" teh quickly stand at teh gate-- but if they are in the pond area, they run aroundl.

exercise is a good thing-- and the only thiong that makes it possible to train these beasts -- i think that eliminating or reducing recess in grade schools just to increase the scholastic time, is counter productive... they wiould learn so much better if teh y ran 1/4 mile and then go back to arithmetic... i also wonder that the ratio of negativity is between fresh air walkers or runners to people who use tread mills.. (either mentally or physically) - i bet teh outside bunch are rejuvenated and teh inside bunch just tired. fresh air is good even if it is full of water.

no exciting cut and pastes

we are changing alot of teh times for staff around here... teh 3 biggest changes---- pam will start sat morning becasue she will then be going against the "cape traffic"-- cape cod has only one narrow footpath with a swinging bridge to get on and off "the cape"-- shannon will be "doing" all the kennels starting at noon... there were just too many people in the barn early morn.. and grace will be off duty at 3, after which she can do rosebushes or mannequins....
any of these people are very welcome to be ehre more hours to hang around volunteering-- being helpful and sociable--- but those hours are put aside specifically for working.

and on cometh the younger genreation... today will be hay string preparation... mostloy because we need more properly pprepared hay string available "around" like teh poo pickers...
in addition-- the choice and placement of a 2" rock instead of a grommet to hold teh tarp on the trailer.-- grommets break... i don't think i have ever seen a rock deal give out.
