Something tells me they think we have enough Goldens.
Silly dogs what do they know.

Hurry up mom. We are ready for our morning snuggle time.
Yes, this is where Nova and Pip choose to have their snuggles on the couch.
Pip is holding on to her morning apple that everyone gets after breakfast.

One of the worst feelings in the world is when you wake up in the morning and you go to feed the dogs and the “ old dog” is not first in line to be fed.
Poor Blue had a rough week last week and suddenly could not stand, developed a raging hot spot on the side of her face, conjunctivitis, and was extremely painful in her left front leg.
Blue doesn’t normally get hot spots so we don’t know what triggered it. We are treating the infections and pain for now. Luckily she is back on her feet and looking for food although not quite back to herself.
Please keep her in your thoughts. I am worried about her.

Honoring all who served so that we may be safe.
Thank you to all of our Veterans.

We have a very special boy staying with us right now.
Dakota, Legend's Four Paws One Hero CGA,CGCU.
Dakota is a certified service dog through Operation Freedom Paws. He is from my “Hero” litter.
Dakota is enjoying playing on the farm with everyone and hanging out with his brother Rowan for a few days.

Our friend and partner, Cathy, from Morning Sky was here from Pennsylvania yesterday.
She and I set up the Novice Rally rings for Nova and Pip.
Cathy is far more adept then I at memorizing the courses.
Nova is memorizing them from afar.

Yesterday was bath day for everyone.
Rowan and Pip were very excited and could not wait to get started on the whole process!

Service dogs are a 24hour a day 7 day a week commitment.
They are a medical device.
Go back and read that again.
If you only need a “ service dog” when it’s convenient for you or it’s fun to bring them with you they are not a service dog.
There are times however, when they may have to be left behind due to a procedure or medical test or due to some other rare circumstance.
Rowan rarely gets left behind. This is him two hours after I left for a medical appointment he could not attend.
Rowan kept asking to be let outside to check our gate then would call for me.
True service dogs live for their work you won’t find them sitting in carts in Target or running up to people in grocery stores. Their lives revolve around one person. To a service dog their greatest gift is being with their partner.

Pip’s favorite thing to do in the evening is to “sneak “ into the goose, chicken,goat pen.
She is determined to catch a goose.
Luckily the geese are smart enough to go in with the goats who will protect them.
Pip isn’t about to take them on….
Yet…

Some dogs play with seaweed on the beach…
Ours play with pumpkin vines…
The best toys are those they find and discover on their own apparently just like kids.

10/31/2023

Yesterday was the last of our pumpkin harvesting.
Pip was more then happy to put some extra effort into it.
Who knew that the fresh pumpkin stems were a gourmet dog treat?

10/30/2023

Alright all you sleepy heads.
It’s Monday! Let’s start this week with a smile and make it a incredible one.

10/29/2023

She does it with a extra pass to spare.
Congratulations to Cathy and Lyra!

Good Morning! The day is young and full of possibilities.
Let’s get started.
After Morning cookies of course!

10/21/2023

What’s more fun than getting up before dawn to do laundry?
Absolutely nothing if you’re Pip.
Pip decided that we should stay with our weekday schedule this Saturday, and get up before dawn and be productive.
