April Randomness

I never know what I am going to find in photos on my phone. Someone gave us Girl Scout Cookies and this one was stamped "I'm a Risk Taker". We all felt it appropriate for Kaleb since he was wearing his vaccine hoodie that says "Come and Make Me". I guess you can tell how we all feel about vaccines!

This is how I do my Bible Study sometimes in the morning, Merk making sure that I am looking at him. He is the sweetest guy! He knows how to manipulate your heart.

Daphne has had a rough year as well with complications of Ulcerative Colitis. She rarely has energy to do much having autoimmune disease. It really is frustrating. I happened to look out and saw her making a path from the front walkway to the driveway. Not sure exactly why, but she is doing it.

Poppa, I think, dressed himself for Good Friday service at the Catholic Church. It was Jared's idea to go, half the service was in Spanish. We stayed and listened. It didn't matter. We are all God's people. I think we stuck out amongst all these short little mexican people. It was actually kind of funny.

Farm Supplies.......Twine

When you feel like Crap, you go shopping. Something new to wear always makes you feel better. 

I really don't know what happened to Kaleb. I guess coming home filthy dirty is just part of the industry of being a carpenter. As long as he is happy, that is all that matters.

Victoria's new dog Cleo is loving the bed. She has spent her first 12 months of life in a kennel outside with her previous owner. The owner contacted the Dog Program to inquire about rehoming her. With Jasper retiring from showing due to his physical health, we just knew that this dog was going to be Victoria's next show dog. Now she has a pretty turquoise bed in Victoria's room, her own toys, she can sleep on the bed with Victoria whom she feels that she needs to protect when she is sleeping. The first few days that we had her, she didn't want to go outside. We think she was worried that she wouldn't be let back in. After about a week she realized that this is her forever home and she can go in and out as she pleases. She is a sweet little girl.

Doug cooling off in a patch of snow. 

We had to pull out Doug's pool, now that all the snow has finally melted. What a long winter!

Cleo is obsessed with water! She's waiting her turn.

Kaleb hanging out with Merk at the FAST CAT trial.

Merk trying to convince us that he really is a good boy and deserves all the treats that Kaleb has for him. He has barked his head off non-stop at all the other dogs. He has got to be exhausted!

Both Merk and Cleo had qualifying runs in FAST CAT. They did amazingly well. It was a fun weekend!

We had 3 other handlers from our 4H Dog Program here as well in Idaho. It was fun. All their dogs did amazingly well.

I washed out Merks crate. While it was drying, Jasper wanted in. He loves his crate. He has one just like this except Merk's is sewn together in multiple places because he has ripped out of his multiple times. We refuse to buy him a new one and I just keep sewing it back together.
