Twisted Acres Ranch (2024)

28/01/2024

I am overwhelmed by how many Birthday Wishes I received on Friday! Thanks to everyone who took the time to send me a wish-it made my day. I spent the day getting ready to leave for a dog show! What a surprise I know! So no time to be able to thank each person individually.

Wise words.

On this Thanksgiving Day there is much for me to be grateful for.
I am blessed to be able to still have my parents here with me. It has been a rough few months for them but we face each challenge head on. My mom fell and broke her hip in May and then just this week she had three stents put in her heart for total blockages after her pacemaker shocked her 52 times and she lived! Cardiologist said he has never seen that!
My dad had a stroke in June and then a stent and Valve replacement in August. We are still dealing with cognition issues from the stroke and recently falling episodes that we are trying to get to the bottom of.
I am grateful that I am 7 years cancer free and chose to take early retirement in 2022. Financially It has been a challenge but has allowed me to be able to care for my parents as they live in my guest house.
My greatest joy is my three daughters and my grandson that I do not get to see enough. Hopefully next month when I travel to Orlando for Royal Canin I will be able to see them and spend some time with them.
As a breeder my “family” has grown with many wonderful families that have chosen a puppy from me. I will forever be grateful to them all for giving them a life they deserve and loving them as they do.
I have met many wonderful people that I am now lucky to be able to call a friend through my dogs. The support so many of them provide as like minded people who are also passionate as I am about being a preservation breeder of both the Mudi and the Border Collie. I have been blessed to be able to get some beautiful examples of both breeds from some amazing kennels both here and abroad. I will forever be grateful to those fellow breeders who trusted me with their dogs.
I cherish the fact that I am still able to be out there showing my dogs. Physically I am still able to run around that ring and I have a fantastic assistant taking care of things for me on the home front so that i can be gone and not worry. I have been blessed to be able to finish the CH on many of my dogs myself and have so many that I have produced as a breeder excelling in all venues including conformation. Ryder was my first bred-by Mudi and has turned 7 this month. He has remained the #1 Mudi in breed since the Mudi moved up in January of 2022. He has accomplished many firsts in the breed including the first Gold Grand Champion. We are now working on his Platinum. Whether he achieves it or not remains to be seen but I will continue to show him as long as he wants to. I am the lucky one to have him on the end of my lead as he is a beautiful example of the breed.
As the Canine Chronicle Stats through the end of October have now been posted I am proud to say that even with only one 3 day show in October that Ryder remains #1 for Breed, has been bumped to #2 in all breed by Raven’s breeder with her half sibling and dropped to #2 in owner handler behind another dog I bred and co-own. As a breeder I am very proud to see 9 Twisted Acres Mudi in the rankings for both Breed and All Breed and 4 in the National Owner Handler Series. My heart is very full.
I look forward to the coming year and what it may hold for me. Happy Thanksgiving All!

After waiting a half hour to an hour I made it across the first wash-crossed two more and hoped I was home free only to hit this monster stopping me from making it home. Waited another half hour to an hour and was finally able to cross. Luckily a few years ago the county blacktopped the bottom of this wash to give it a solid base or crossing would not have been possible because instead of @ two feet of soggy sand there would have been more than you would have been able to make it across and you just sink. Weather forecast is for rain all night with flash flood warnings. Glad I made it home-looks like I won’t be going anywhere soon-sorry work. #mothernaturemademedoit #arizonamonsoon #whenyourroadbecomesariver #onewayinandonewayout #cantcrossthis #rurallife #momsaidyouarenotgoingtowork #weatherforecastcallsforrain #flashfloodwarning
