PSD Happenings and Visitors


Our prayers are with the families of the 7 astronauts killed in the tragic explosion of the Columbia space shuttle.  And we find it amazing that Nacogdoches, Texas, home of the LSCD Futurity was in the center of it all.


Sunny Saturday, February 1st

Wow, Karen Tate said it was 70 degrees and she was right!  We met John and Karen Tate of Tate Ranch Stock Dogs, Seneca, Missouri in Vinita.  They'd come from meeting Casey and Julie Rindal of Pauls Valley, OK and were so very kind to haul us dog food.

Even though it was windy, we had a nice visit and played with some great pups they had with them out of their super Bea female (Border Collie) crossed on Casey's nice male, Cap.  We had a great visit with them trading news.

John and Karen don't just deliver, they unload too!

Below: John and some of the pups.   Ben sweet-talking one of the good-looking females.


The "sick" puppy was much recovered today.  That's her on the left next to her brother.

The big dogs went for a spin in the pasture.  They're checking out "the killing field" where the injured snow goose met the coyote.  It's hard to see the feathers, but they're scattered.

Friday, January 31st

Nice sunny day with warmer temps.  Yipee!  Our buddy Ed Hamersley came over from Missouri in the afternoon to "play" with the dogs.  He brought "Tyke" and "Lady."  Lady stayed and Tyke, pictured below, went back home to work.

It was also sick puppy day for one of the pups we brought home in November.  Leslie and Double puppy sat in the office.  Some sick puppy, notice the ears and tail going so fast they're a blur.  Double was a good sport.
