I want it to quit raining. My whole yard is saturated. I have cleaned my shed and my garage because I couldn’t train dogs. They look really good but I would rather train dogs. Who wants to work when they can play with dogs.
Some of the dog training stuff hanging on the walls of the shed.
More dog training stuff hanging on the wall of the shed.
I’m getting the whelping box ready for Dolly’s litter.
I haven’t had a litter of puppies for about 3 years so it was time to clean the shed and whelping box. I found stuff that I had forgotten that I owned.
Sally was bred to a frozen semen son of Tekoa Mountain Sunrise, owned by Bruce Sooter. He, Bruce and Rip, lives in Snyder Texas. June and I dropped Sally off at Bruce’s kennel on Thursday night and drove to near San Antonio. The next morning we toured the Alamo and then drove some of the back roads looking at the Blue Bonnets. We picked Sally up Sunday morning and drove home. Rip had bred Sally on Friday and Sunday.
I took Sally to the vet’s office this morning, just because. Sally may be the best dog I’ve ever had and I want to make sure everything is okay. Sally is a grand daughter to Shadow Oak Bo on her sire’s side and a grand daughter to Tekoa Mountain Outrage on the dam’s side. Rip, the son of Tekoa Mountain Sunrise that I bred her to, also, is a grand son of Tekoa Mountain Outrage on his dam’s side. This makes this a close line breeding. It should make for some really good puppies.
It’s been a long time since I’ve had a litter of puppies and I’m looking forward to it but I worry about it, too.
Since I can’t train dogs I took pictures of some of my dog training equipment.
My pop up backing dog.
A DT release trap on the left and a Dogtra on the right.
A Dokken quail, chukar and pheasant.
Some other retrieving things.
Blank pistol, GPS collar and hand held and E-collar and controller.
Hopefully, I will be able to get back to dog training next week. I have places in my yard that I haven’t been able to mow this year. The TV weatherman, this morning, said that it had rained or snowed, a measurable amount, 55% of the days since October the first. I’m sorry I don’t have more to write about. Maybe it will dry up next week.
