July, First of
August
2008
- It's
been a busy summer with some ups and downs. We appreciate your
calls, questions and training tape purchases. We want to remember
our small group family members Bill and Mary Aldinger of Afton,
Oklahoma who went home to the Lord the last of July. Folks, thank
you for the training dogs you've brought. We saw a span of 100
degree days and lots of humid days. Ben was up before daylight
to work dogs. Many of you fared the heat to stop in to work dogs.
We had a fun 4th at the Vasquez calf fry with friends and
neighbors. Seems like summer is soon turning into fall. The
kids in our neighborhood started school the first and second week
of August. The Will Rogers Memorial Rodeo is coming up the
end of August and will also be a memorial this year to his nephews
Bob and Clem McSpadden who passed away in July.

this one was about a 'hand' short. Above is the new
house kitten. Adopted critters are never in the plans, are
they? |
