UPDATE: on all the dogs

CHLOE:
I talked to Chloe's new owners and she is doing well and they lover her. She is hopefully going to be a future therapy dog! I am very happy with the home she has gone to. She now lives in the house and they said she has yet to "go" in the house and she doesn't bark either. She is scheduled to be spayed in the end of this year and then she will get her hips checked out as well but from what both their vet and my vet saw from the outside (no x-rays) her hips look great! Just figured I let ya'll know a little about her again!

MATILDA:
as far as I can tell Matilda is expecting and I calculated and we should be having puppies on August 2nd I am so excited. Yesterday I went and bought some puppy toys and am stocking up on the things I need. Now to get momma in shape :). Her training has been going excellent she didn't forget a thing since I was gone we still have a little work to do before we go back to the trainer though because the next step is agility (yippee) and that is building confidence and trust.

DUKE:
he has a visiting female until Friday night this will be his fourth female now the other females the one had 9 and the other 11 so we shall see how many this will bring :). Duke is the same old faithful companion but out of all the dogs I think he missed me the least when I was gone which was surprising to me :).

SASHA:
I talked to sasha's owners and she is doing good she will be 7yrs this December! I am going to go visit them over her birthday this year! They are hoping to bring her over here to our place so that I can see her again it's been almost 2yrs since I've seen her I have called them throughout the years but never got to see her it is going to be a priority now though because I want to see her before she gets too old. I would love if I could take pictures of her and Matilda while she is here.

Memorial Weekend 2013

Duke and Matilda will be parents in 2 months!! I bred them this weekend so if nothing malfunctions then we should have puppies! so if you know of anyone who wants a puppy let me know!

This weekend our youth group was at the cabin I didnt have my camera so no pictures :) We had an awsome time and it was very relaxing. It was very chilly unfortunatly so we were mostly in the cabin on Friday night we played some card games and talked :). Saturday morning I got up at 8 and we had a delicous breakfast and then my friend Lori and I went on a walk it was awsome we walked a mile and then came back we played a game of volleyball just us girls that was awsome. I went in and I was sitting in the family room and I was falling asleep so I went down and took an hour nap until supper time. For supper we had hamburgers (they grilled 120 burgers) We then played perpetual comotion it is a very interesting game and can be quite loud :) then we had a spiritual activity which consisted of singing. Then our youth leader Kevin Hurst and his sister Kristi sang a song he made up about coffee.We then made marinated beef cubes over the fire very delicous.

Sunday we got up at 8 and had breakfast then Gerald Martin out spiritual advisor for the youth group had the sermon and we sang a few songs. We then went outside and I watched as they played volleyball until dinner time at 12 then we got all packed up and cleaned the cabin up and loaded the trailer and vans and headed off  I fell asleep on the 2hr drive home then we came home and I put Duke and Matilda together and they locked. I then spent some time with both of them and had a relaxing evening.

We are taking off from work today and we packed the ebay stuff this morning and then we went to Olive Garden for dinner now we are going to go out and move the chicken house and put a fence up and let the little chicks out :) yippee. They will probably start laying next month. we just need to find somone who want old chickens that occasionally lay.

Spring

Alot has been happening here at our place we have been very busy here of late taking care of customers. I am hoping dad can keep up with it all while Ruth Ann and I are gone for a week and half. Our chorus is going on tour in two weeks we are going on up into Canada to the Northern Youth Programs and then back to Pa.

The last couple days I have been doing paperwork and computer work :( not my most favorite job but it needs done I was doing it for the tractor business and the dog business. We bought a new printer that needs no ink to print and I have been having quite the time to hook/set it up. What we save in ink we will spend getting it hooked up :) not quite.

Last night I gave all four dogs baths and they now smell so good! I have a shampoo that last up to two weeks on smell and it is a medicated shampoo. I really like it and have been using it for a number of years because I had been having problems with ringworm and I haven't seen any for awhile now.

Matilda is in heat again and I have been trying to breed her and Duke and she is just like her mother where she takes forever to be ready to breed so I have been keeping a close eye on her. So if you know of anyone who needs/wants a puppy let me know if everything works out I will have pups in September.

The training is going good we have been working on being six feet away and giving commands and that has been quite the thing for her to get is that I am standing so far away and I still have to listen :) I am hoping she doesn't regress too much when she gets a whole month of not training.

FOR SALE: ACA gorgeous Golden Retriever female




Gorgeous Golden with wonderful personality. I sold her as a puppy and bought her back due to the circumstances. I took her to my vet they did a lyme/heartworm test and she checked negative so she is all clean and they gave her a rabies vaccination and checked hips and lungs so she is all good!

Her birth date is September 1, 2011. We started on basic training and she knows sit and stay but that is all. She is learning very quickly and has adapted to her new surroundings very good. I believe she would do very good with a lot of loves and hugs :)

That is all I have if you have any questions give me a call.
