October
2008 - January 2009
-
WOW, Happy New Year!!!! We're expecting our first
great-grandkid. It's a milestone though we don't consider the age
factor in. We think the 60's are the new 40's for sure
J.
2008 was one of those years - Ben stayed even and ahead, Leslie
got behind with web info and office work.
Amy Hess hired on as
fulltime AVCA secretary in October. She's helping things get
squared away so that Leslie has a more normal schedule. The
cool part is that Amy and her family belong to
Cowboy Junction too
and are part of the youth ministry. We can't let 2008 come
to a close without thanking all of you who purchased training
videos and books, hired Ben to train your dogs, bought dogs and
puppies, stopped by or telephoned. We've posted a few
pictures that got taken the last part of 2008. Leslie was so
tied up in the office that we missed getting shots of most of our
visitors. Ben is spending the end of January lambing.
His Katahdins are a hardy bunch. So far he's only bottle fed
a couple lambs their first or second meal, and they were ready to
go. Wishing all of you all the promises and blessings of 2009, Ben
and Leslie

John Gilman, Missouri, stopped in for
a visit on his way back through after picking up a dog. |

Laura Stimatze (center), Pat Christensen (right) and Laura's
mom and sister stopped by to say hi. The girls had a fun
girls only weekend in the Branson area of Missouri in October.
Of course, they managed to squeeze in a little "horse shopping" on
the side. |

Above Dr. William Ormston lectures at the recent
AVCA
conference near Atlanta, Georgia. Right - AVCA
secretaries Amy Hess and Tonya Nix catching their flight with
Leslie to head out for the conference. They were gone
the last week of October and first part of November.
They did have a good time at the Legacy Lodge Resort on Lake
Lanier Islands. Below left, Leslie and the equestrian
manager, Beth Pedaggi got to ride one morning. |

Above right, Kris Schmidt at the
Little Rock Zoo Elephant pen. Leslie was able to slip
down to Bill and Kris' for a visit the first part of December. |

Above Ben is checking out Tiger the "Spider" (all legs) on cattle.
Tiger is 3/4 Border Collie and is approximately 9 months old. |

More zoo pictures. Left -
Bill and Kris with "Mary" a 58 year old Indian elephant.
Above right Bill scratches a black rhino male who kicked his
rear leg like a dog when you found the "right spot." |

Above - Rodney Hopwood, Ed
Hamersley and Eric Wanman. Ed got some cows up with
his dogs. Right is a true genius. One of the
things I appreciate about Ben is his ability to create,
replicate, invent time-saving, worthwhile, useable
resources out of someone else's disposals. His new
"medicine bottle" for sheep drenching. It works
great and holds the amount he wants. |

Mary and husband Norm look on. |

men's ministry got a lot of work done in November, but had
to cancel in December and January due to the weather. |

Above left Mike, Wilma and Norman
(Noel, MO) poise for Leslie. We bought 4 nice bred ewes
from them over Christmas. Above right the Little Cat
thinks she's hit it big time. She made her strike but
the pheasant flew up just as she got there. Didn't stop
her she followed him anyway. Left one of His spectacular
November sunrise's. |
