As the year winds to a close I want to thank everyone who has written in or commented in the past year. I don’t do this to line my pockets, just to help other folks out, so it’s nice to know it’s welcomed information.
Remember the portrait of Beau being done by Danielle at Petable Portraits? It came and it’s fantastic. I can’t begin to describe how wonderful this portrait is and how much it means to me. When I look at the picture I think, “That’s my boy. That’s Beau.”
I went on the road with the boys this weekend to Kalamazoo, MI. This was Ranger’s first time at a real show and was entered in the Novice Puppy class, which is non-licensed, but good experience for the babies. He didn’t win anything, but did have a good experience and made progress toward being a…
The 2009 Catahoula Calendar is now ready for sale. A portion of the proceeds from each calendar goes to benefit Catahoula Rescue. This year’s theme is The Versatile Catahoula. The cover was recently unveiled, and you may recognize one of the faces there–Beau. He’s wearing his backpack. He has been in the Catahoula calendar every…

This morning I was putting some chicken in the slow cooker for dinner and I decided to use a little sea salt to flavor things. When I gave a quick twist to the plastic grinder I realized it was pretty similar to the hand crank grinder my friend Nora gave me for my birthday. Me…
About a week ago I was contacted by Daniele at Petable-Portraits.com regarding Daniele doing a portrait of one of my dogs. Since I have a ton of pictures of Beau, and Ranger isn’t done turning into a little dog yet (he’s going through some crazy growth spurts), I chose Beau as the subject of the…
Today I got to briefly meet a very cool Cowboy, Mr. John Wayne Haynes. He is traveling from his home in Michigan to New Mexico to visit his family. His is no ordinary road trip, however, as he is on horseback (2-year-old Misty, and Appaloosa). and is accompanied by his pack horse (Harley, 23, another…
I’m quite pleased with how Ranger is adjusting to his new life here as well as the new skills he’s learned in the past few weeks. He was having issues with housetraining (he still has a few, admittedly), however that has gotten better now that he understands what the bells that hang on the door…
