Lyle, Sorry to hear about your situation. Sat with my mom many times to give my dad a break when she became bed ridden. Took care of both of them when dad had bypass surgery. Sat everyday for a month with mom while she was in hospital dad stayed at night. It was hard because I also had TD and 3 small kids to take care of but I have no regrets. They are both gone now but would do it again in a heartbeat. Linda

Kris, My mom was pretty tough to but you just have to take the initiative and do things for them and don't tell them till you've done it. I put your mom on our prayer list at church.

Lyle, Sounds like you might live to be pretty old since it runs in your family. The younger generation could learn a lot about life and hunting from older people if you can get them out from in front of the tv. It's good to see ukc and some of the clubs have youth programs. Night all Linda

Mike, Now I know what your talking about just didn't know they called them aussies. The picture you have of ace looks a lot like the english sheperd that we had. Do you have to do a lot of training with them or is it basically instinct to get them to herd? Didn't you say you had puppies coming? Would like to have one but doubt I could talk TD into it. If you are having pups will you put their pictures on your website? Linda

Linda these dogs don't need a lot of training. It is bred into them. We sold one to a good friend of ours down south of Marion,IL and there kids were playing outside and Rhonda notice that all of sudden the dog stared jumping and herding the kids back toward the house. Rhondas husband went out and found a Copperhead in the grass were the kids were playing. So the herding instinct is there. They are very smart dogs. Yes we have a litter coming in Aug. Yes the pictures will be on our website. Tell TD you need a companion when he is gone hunting.

Mike See what I can do but won't make any promises. Getting pretty warm out there but there is a breeze. Electric company is here again but didn't take out power should get done today. Canned tomatoes this morning. I saw one of your buddies scurrying in the lane yesterday looking for walnuts. I thought I heard him say Mike can't get me. Have a good one. Hope We hear from Rex this evening about the surgery. I think we are going to get a few goats this fall. Maybe half a dozen. Big drop from 100 head. Just need to get the brush down again.
