Update from Chris Bontraeger-
As some of you know last Monday evening Chris’ daughter was kicked by a horse & air lifted to Iowa City. Luckily it was a cool night & she was wearing a heavy coat. After several days in the hospital the doctors diagnosed her with a bruised abdomen & a torn liver. She is back home now. Chris says she’s her happy little self & getting around fine, just going to need a bit of time to heal.

Last spring we were blessed with 2 new additions to the ranch-
First is a beautiful memorial bench donated by Mark & Julie Claypool, in memory of Tommy. The bench is located on the South side at the breakaway. It is in the perfect spot to relax & appreciate all of our blessings.
Secondly is the new AED/Defibrillator, located on the wall in the building. This donation was made possible by several great clubs working together for the well being of all participants. The clubs behind this generous donation are the Iowa Brittany Club, the Hawkeye Brittany Club, the Tri-State Brittany Club, the Minnesota Brittany Club & the National Vizsla Association. Honestly this is one item that I pray we never have to use, but just incase it could make the difference in someones life.
