Busy week!


Ben and Sue reminiscing above, Steve and Sue below.

Thursday - April 10th

Big day for us.  Ben's sister Donna Sue rode over with son Steve from southwestern Missouri.  Steve had business in Oklahoma, so dropped his mom off for a visit.

Ben and Sue had a wonderful time visiting, looking at old photos and generally getting caught up on all the news. 

Tony Maeder, Bonham, Texas

What a big day on Thursday.  Tony stopped in to stretch his legs from a long drive.  We were delighted for the visit, but sympathetic as his father had passed away unexpectedly the day before and he was making the long journey to Iowa.  Tony and Ben go way back to "ARF" and Tom Stodghill days!

Below Tony and Ben talking dogs,

looking at dogs and generally solving all the problems of cow dogs and training :>))


Wednesday, April 9

Maybe, just maybe spring is around the corner.  Ice in the water buckets again this morning.  The wind laid down and it warmed up enough that we took the dogs for a spin in the pasture.

Above Keeper in the lead with Scooter.  Below  l - r, Ben with Cody and Harley - they've really grown the past couple of weeks!  Middle is Ben's Kate with Harley in hot pursuit.  Right they are making the last leg back to the house.


Ben's newest acquisitions.  "Mac" pictured left.  "Jim" pictured in the center and right.  Ben and Jim made a few rounds in the big pasture while Leslie was at the AVCA board meeting in Canada during the northeastern blizzard.
