September Sanctuary - week 2
I am one tired gal today. No motivation to do anything but read the paper and lay around. Got home from MD around 1:30 am. Very very long day but luckily uneventful. Yes, my friend did get her new dog. He's a very handsome tri colored, smooth coated BC named "Brass". Very sweet too. We got to seem him work some sheep and it was pretty impressive. I just hope my friend does what she says she wants to do with this dog and he doesn't go the way of all her other "working" dogs. Time will tell. The farm Brass lived at is just gorgeous. Over 100 acres, mostly soybeans. I guess I thought soybeans were grown in the midwest? Judging by the thousands of acres we drove by, MD and DE seem to giants as well. Anyway, this farm, in addition to the soy fields had huge pastures and paddocks and a huge "outrun" (I think that's what it's called) where the herding trials are held. She holds the only trials in MD. She has about 7 BC and 2 Anatolyean (sp) Shepards who all live in the gorgeous climate controlled outbuilding. Each dog has free run to their own outside kennel and they have a big fenced in yard they are let into throughout the day to play and relax. This is on top of working the 100s of sheep at the farm. She also has 4 house dogs-2 Jack Russells and 2 Boston Terriers. The house is comfy cozy and spacious without being pretentious. Filled with country decor. lots of secret gardens too and a huge pool. Then there are the farming buildings one would expect to see. We spent about an hour and a half there. i wish I could have let my guys off leash but I just didn't want to take the chance even tho their road was very long leading up to the house.
I did fall in love with a small female BC who was just the sweetest and actually looked like my DD a lot. Oh would she make a good agility dog!! good thing she wasn't for sale!!
I'm very happy to report that I still have my youthful road trip stamina as I drove the whole way down and back. It was about an 18 hour day.
So i've had a chance to catch up on things.
Rusty-can you dump that client? Let your colleague deal with him? No wonder you have neck problems!! I too hope you had a great time at the wedding!!
Jolie-great job too! You can do this!!
Lav-keep doing the curves and zumba-you'll need the extra energy if you keep taking EB as much as you do!
Dew-:l :l :l Please know I am thinking about you and your family!
SPED and SD-Huge congrats on 90 days!! You guys rock!!
SD-how was the game? The Vikings used to be my favorite team when I was a teenager. My dad had told me that Tarkington was the only QB in the NFL to call his own plays and for some reason that really impressed me! I'm not sure I even knew what it meant to call plays!! :H Their purple unis didn't hurt either!!
I know I have to mow the lawn today at some point. Its very cool and windy-almost raw with grey clouds. Hopefully after lunch I'll have more energy. It's the only thing on my list so I really have no excuse.
Oh yes, when I got home this morning I went to the front door to get the mail and on my stoop was a pot of mums and a pumpkin!! My sis is absolutely the sweetest, isn't she??? I feel very loved right now as she knows I can't afford to buy those things myself and I miss them. :h
