Not Again! Farm

I got to make a trip to the big city of Richmond yesterday.  I had to go buy paper and I wanted to get a gizmo to download the pictures from my SM card in my camera to my computer.  There just simply isn’t any place to buy either locally.
To make it a perfect trip […]

Ok, I admit it. I finally screwed up my courage and killed one of my roosters. I am having very mixed emotions about it. Ned, who grew up on a farm, laughs at me and tells a few stories of the old days. It doesn’t help.

Time flies when you are having fun.  It’s been very busy here this last week and I am behind in everything.  I noticed this morning that the girls are getting bigger and bigger and although they are eating everything in sight and then some, I don’t think they are getting fat.  So it means…. puppies!!

We had picture day at Happy Tails on Monday.  It was a big day for all of us.  All of the Cavaliers got to go to the shop and get groomed.  After their bathes and hair styles, we walked over to the photographers.  It was an interesting hour.
I really don’t know how they get these […]

I was approached recently by someone who was looking for a Cavalier puppy.  After explaining that they were very serious and had interviewed several breeders, they asked my opinion of a couple of breeders in the state.  These particular breeders happen to be people that I have visited and gotten to know over the years.

Oh.. and how did my day go today?  Well…. I had booked 8 dogs in the shop today.  Julia and I were both working.  She had 4 and I had 4.  Its crowded and we step all over each other but we could have gotten them done by 2 with no problem.  […]
