Lucy is extra excited about the new play area for kids and puppers. 😍 And her new toy.

Yes. Yes it is. Just for some random letters before their name. 😅 What are some of the crazy things you've done with your fur-babies? What are things that hold you back from doing those "crazy" things?

Corrina and I spoke about this last week. We remember as little girls watching Westminster and seeing all the beautiful dogs and thinking that was a "crazy" idea that was woefully unattainable for us. We both come from humble beginnings.

I'm so thankful that we decided to just take the plunge and throw ourselves into it. It's brought us joy, motivation, and a new community of wonderful people. ❤️

"Chronicles of a (very humble) Amateur Handler"

Today was THE day. Like, a day we all DREAM of when we're newbies in an event/sport, and we get that much-needed confidence boost.

CH LHT BELLE OF THE BALL went into the show-ring this weekend for the first time in 2 years (she's got one litter on the ground), straight pulled off the farm 2 weeks ago, and then went in under an Amateur Handler...

And went SELECT BITCH for a 4 pt Major towards her GCH!! 1 bitch shy of a 5 pt this weekend.😍

***

I'd like to say that I accepted this with all the grace and dignity of a pro, but, Amateur here...I looked around me, after she pointed at me and said, "Select Bitch" and proceeded to panick.

It reminded me of the time I met Jason Alden and didn't know who he was. I was working in Ft. Scott, KS at the time (2010) at an event that they needed extra hands for, so they asked if some reserve Soldiers would like to volunteer. We got the opportunity to warm up in the VIP tent.

There was a man that was surrounded by a bunch of girls, and I remember thinking, "he MUST be important. I better try and get a picture with him." So I did. And then had to strategically ask who the man was without letting on that I had absolutely no clue what was going on.

Anyways, I had no idea what "Select Bitch" meant, but she handed me the prettiest ribbon ever and I KNEW it was a big deal.

All this to say, when I did find out, I was excited all over again!! 🥰

Thank you Meghan Carosella for never making us feel less for asking these (probably) basic questions! And to Corrina McIntosh for the last minute, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants groom jobs. 😅

Thank you to judge Joyce Siddall for today- you were incredibly kind, personable, and approachable.

Brag post on our favorite boys! While out trick, or treating, Corrina was stopped by a stranger to tell her she recognized both boys from the Enid Dog Show- all the way in Ft. Gibson!

There is literally no better compliment for us to hear! ❤️

Enjoy "Harry" Potter and "Fred" Weasley repping for Gryffindor!!

We hope you had a "Riddikulus" and "Stupefying" time tonight!

Happy Halloween!! 👻

Oakley and Bear can't stand being apart.

Follow me for more toddler entertainment tips.

And maybe some baby yoga. 😆

Because I can't post just one 🥹

Blue Bell is a DREAM! She reminds me of her aunt Deedee so much!

Wyatt has taken to her. It's almost been his mission to be as gentle as possible with her and win her trust. She's finally settled into our chaos. 🤪

I told Jacqueline I promised we wouldn't keep this one, but we absolutely won't be mad about her visiting often to work on her GCH! Lol Someone is going to hit the jackpot when she retires Blue Bell to a pet home!

I love our aussies and where they come from and I'll be the biggest supporter for this breed and these lines specifically. ❤️ They are genuinely the best family and farm dogs you could ask for.

New visitor!

AKC CH LHT BELLE OF THE BALL "Blue Bell" coming to hang out and play in Springfield and Chickasha and start working on that GCH!

Pictured here with LHT AIM AT A HIGH MARK ("Oakley") on the left.

Fun fact, her dam is a half sibling to our late, Deedee, and shares the same sire as Deedee's Harry Potter litter (Oakley, Fred, and Harry are whom you see recently at the shows). ❤️

I absolutely adore her. She's got the best temperament. The family genes are STRONG and I couldn't love that anymore!

Both owned by: LHT Aussies

Low quality picture but high quality love. ❤️

The 4 year old doesn't like sleeping by himself. However, the full sized bed was barely enough for 2 adults, let alone a large toddler.

Harry almost seemed to sense this and offered to jump onto the bed with him and stayed until we all fell asleep. Harry is aptly named and gets rather warm, so it's usual for him to get down and lay on cooler spots. He's also not allowed in bed at home, so we were surprised he even hopped onto the bed.

Later, Wyatt woke up from a bad dream. Harry must've heard because he proceeded to jump back into bed with Wyatt and Wyatt, for once, stayed asleep in his bed. Harry stayed.

I know I talk about Deedee's legacy all the time, but it's in these moments I'm so thankful for the beautiful souls she blessed me and others with.

FHF GO AHEAD, MAKE MY DAY

Owned by Corrina McIntosh and loved immensely by FHF.

We love our LHT and Foxhill Farm pups something fierce. They are the BEST family dogs with work ethic and heart to match.

Oakley is Bear's through and through. These 2 play all the time and Bear makes sure to share all his snacks.

I am so proud of Deedee's legacy she left. They are exactly what I wanted to share with the world. ❤️

"Oakley"

The underrated pups on the farm- not quite our failure LGD (livestock guard dog), but a sweet old soul that loves her family fiercely (and still kills coyotes threatening the livestock).

I was working on my flower boxes and looked up to see this while the guys were studying. I didn't even realize Maude was up on the porch with them. I try not to set up the dogs for failure with the littles (this very situation), but I'm thankful when they tolerate it all the same and I can trust that they won't get bitten when my back is turned.

These are the types of dogs we strive to raise and have around our families. ❤️

Idk who needs to hear this, but for the newbies in the industry- some things could be spelled out better for us when expectation vs reality are wildly different. 😅

10 lbs of beef sounds WAY smaller than it actually is.

A box of Total Cereal will fill up an entire mixing bowl.

So will oats.

Your husband's ridiculous idea looks a lot less ridiculous when you're staring at 2 mixing bowls full of only 2 items of your 7 item ingredient list and glancing at the drill and 5 gallon bucket he left you.

My spin on Satin Balls...

Ingredients:
•10 lbs of ground beef
•1 box of Total Cereal
•1 box/container oatmeal (I used old fashioned- not sure if it was supposed to be instant or anything else specific)
•1 jar of wheat germ
•10 envelopes of unflavored gelatin
•13 eggs and shells (original called for 10, but the consistency was not enough to bind the meat, so I added in more eggs and oil)
•1 3/4 cup of oil (I used a 16 oz bottle of flaxseed oil- that can change depending on your needs/wants- the original recipe called for 1 1/4 cup of vegetable oil)

Tools they don't tell you to use when mixing this much meat:
•drill
•thinset/grout mixing paddle
•5 gallon bucket

They also don't tell you how big aside from "like meatballs," and if you like food like our family, you know some meatballs may look more like softballs.

So, I settled for baseballs.

If my dog poos his brains out after this much rich food, I'll make sure to edit this post to let you know to stick with golf ball sized. 🫠

Oh and they said 1/day for the ones needing weight, 2 after their body gets used to it. However, I think we're sticking with 1 since the current foster is on the smaller side (Rusty). This was in a thread I found when the original post didn't disclose the feeding amount.

For the ones that need it spelled out- I got ya! 🍻

There's a lot going on in this picture, but suffice to say- that's a whole lotta love in one picture between the kids, Nana in the back, and Harry, "FHF GO AHEAD, MAKE MY DAY"

Added bonus, my nephew, who's a Senior and getting baseball scholarships- gave my son his old helmet and Wyatt wouldn't take it off! ❤️

09/17/2024

We don't get to always talk about our past pooches, but Iris and her sire were given to us by a local. The plan had been to use her sire as a Jr show dog. I don't believe he would've been a Champion AKC Show prospect, but my best friend's daughter took to him anyways!

However, we were never able to purchase their papers and we lost her sire, Nick, in the fire.

Iris found the BEST home. This was a picture from her owner. He said she was getting ice cream after this. 😆

We love watching these guys thrive! ❤️

I sure love how much Oakley loves the children- especially Bear.

But all of Deedee's legacy are like that and I sincerely couldn't ask for a better crew.

Here's a peak into life with Bear and the aussies when its *supposed* to be bed time. 😆

"Luna" (formerly "Hermione") living her best life in Texas!!

We love getting updates like this.

It makes our hearts so happy to see these "Deedee babies" going on and blessing others like she blessed our family for so many years. ❤️ Luna was so hard to let go of, but seeing this makes it worth it.
