Valerie's training
Valerie was taken for training to Western Hearts. Anna K is doing a wonderful job with her. Below she is training Valerie with her baby in the sling and her toddler playing in the corner of the arena. A true horsewoman always finds a way! IF you click on the picture it will play the video.
Rilla was more than ready to go outside at 5:00 am. While she was out I took the video below of her plump puppies.
These are Cavapoo puppies and owned by Sarah and Nolan of Gardner Lane Puppies. If interested in learning more about them click HERE.
I left for the Berean office at 7:55 am, stopped at Casey's to pick up a dozen donuts before heading to the Berean office. We didn't have a lot of mail this morning, almost more Bible requests than studies. Once the studies were opened Shirl, Vonnie and Shirley went in the other room to fold studies.
Kathy was answering letters 
and Skip had gone to Walmart, picked up alcohol and swabs and was cleaning the rollers on the printer.
We were finished early and that was a good thing. I drove the outgoing mail to the Hanna City, post office then checked in at home. Rilla had somehow pushed her crate up against the laundry room door and could not get in to nurse her puppies. I'm not sure when it happened, the puppies didn't seem real hungry and after nursing a few minutes Rilla left them to go outside. The puppies formed a pile to stay warm.
The two I make sure have the back nipples are the white and tan puppy and the one with the head on the white and tan puppy. Both of these puppies were smaller than the other 3 when born so I make sure they are the first to nurse. They have plump bellies so I know they are getting enough. I needed to drop off a check at Meisters and on the way home picked up another dog bed so the one they are on could be washed. When I washed it though I didn't realize there was a hole on one side and a lot of stuffing came out. That was gathered up and stuffed back inside. Tomorrow once it is dry I'll sew it shut so that doesn't happen again. We had corn on the cob for our supper tonight along with some fish, salad and half of a peach each. This was our first corn of the fall, it was good but not as good as if we had picked it this morning. This evening we drove the 4 miles to Sarah and Nolan's house to move Bentley and Fiona over into a different run and check on the feeders and waterers. Bentley is the stud dog and he is so handsome. He couldn't wait to greet me.
Fiona, the miniature poodle also in the picture is the next due for puppies. I think she is due early September. Sarah and Nolan have a wonderful set up for their dogs. They also have a lovely home.
It has 3 bedrooms on the main floor an open floor plan, a huge 3 stall garage and a full basement of which half is finished. The house is all brick and very well built. They have 6 acres and a pond too. I'm so thrilled that they live just 4 miles away from us. Someday Zion wants to have her pony at their house.
So someday they will need to build a barn. Right now though it is much easier to just drive the 4 miles and enjoy the horses here.
