Up and Running

Well, after a lengthy delay and too many people asking "Do you have a website?" I finally got around to registering a domain name and creating our official website. You can find the official Diamond G Farm website by clicking here.

It is a work in progress so expect changes there as we find additional things to add. My first critic has already mentioned that the white background is "too plain" and needs more color or maybe even a picture. And no, it wasn't her, it was the other (smaller) her. :-)

Got more snow over the weekend so once again the ground is covered. Days are getting longer and this weekend we set the clocks ahead - that'll sure be nice.

Grace is still shedding bunches - she had decided that she really likes the shedding blade but isn't really sure what to make of all that hair on the ground. Apparently it doesn't taste all that good. We've been working on two things with her lately. (1) Getting her to stand still while being held by her halter or on a leadrope. This is something completely foreign to her so it's been a bit of a struggle but we're making progress. (2) Picking all four feet. The two front hooves are going nicely but for some reason we're stuck on the back ones. She lets me lift both back feet off the ground but feels the need to throw all her weight on the leg that's being held.

Cleo is Cleo and doesn't change all that much. She still likes to go out and roll around in the snow. She's not shedding nearly as much as Grace but she didn't get as heavy a winter coat either.

And then we have Laredo. Some days its really hard to be the head CattleDog in charge of no cattle - you have to make due with what you have.

All the Lord's promises prove true.
He is a shield to all who look to Him for protection."
