We have a Christmas miracle

It is snowing!!! The locals have told us that it has never snowed on Christmas day. Our normal snow fall months are January thru April, with February being the most likely to snow. I live in an area that only gets a few inches at a time maybe 2-3 times a year. The snow currently [...]

Interesting website for trail riders

People don’t hesitate to buy their pet a Christmas gift now. My sister-in-law sends us a Christmas card every year with her [...]

Today we are gone to the dogs

I am feeling much better today and thought that we need a day with the dogs.
With the weather getting colder, how are your older dogs managing the cold? I have a 13 year old Lab that can barely get herself up from lying down when it gets colder. Oddly enough she does manage to run [...]
