Hello Folks
Well, its been a busy weekend, we have done lots of yard/Barn work as always, we also went to a great farm sale, and meet up with some friends of ours at it, and went out a for a nice meal together afterwards. Sunday was a work day in all ways, and lots got done, most of it for critter comfort :) It was my Step-Dad's 75 Birthday over the weekend, so we called to wish him a great day, the big party is when I am out this summer after the Calgary Dog Show in Aug.
My older Brothers company rented a fishing lodge past yellowknife for their shareholders meeting, and my step-father gets to go for his birthday present, flown in on charter to yellowknife and from yellowknife to the fishing lodge on its own private lake for five days, hope he brings home lots of Artic Char, I loved that fish when I lived up north.. hmmm so good..
Three new hatches of chicks in the last few days, so that is a great indeed, and sold my two little does this past weekend, so once they are weaned, off they go to their new home about 25 min away, they are such nice does, I am so glad that I was able to find them a great home as family milkers instead of the other choices.
So Greenstone Boogie Man of Belglen was show in Regina this past weekend, and took Best of Breed Both days, and there is a show photo coming, I will post as soon as it arrives, his handler said that she really enjoyed him and that he was a good boy, so that is wondeful news indeed.
On health news, There was also a CERF clinic at the Regina show and so I am pleased to annouce that Greenstone Boogie Man of Belglen has a new Cerf- normal 06/07
Tofra Dalla, Greenstone Ada and Belglen Riddari are booked to go for CERF renewals on June 19th, so more CERF info coming on that. My own dogs CERFS need to be renewed by the very end of June for this year but the CERF vet is busy and then on holiday's for three weeks, so I guess I will be doing the rest of the dogs either late in July or in the fall, which is fine as to date they are all CERF normal and there is no plans to breed them at this point.
Don't forget for those that are looking at dogs that the CERF page on the CISC is updated as new information comes in thought the year, and the month of the CERF date is listed (starting 2007)

Ada has been successfully breed! Yahoo, and is now out of Standing heat so now we wait for ultrasounds to confirm little ones.. We put Air Conditioning in the attached part of the house, which is the offical dog room per say and the dogs love it, and I am sure it will help with the puppies this year, during the last two years, the puppies that where born over the summer where SO! hot in the house, that on really bad days, we had to take them downstairs to be cool enough to be comfortable, and so this year, we got the air conditioner for them, so that both the dogs can choose to go to the attached "dog room" off the kitchen (its almost a 1000 Sqaure feet, and is part of the house, has hot and cold running water, power, heat, now Air condition etc but its being turned into a just for the dogs area of the house, and its where the dogs go when we leave the house etc. Anyway, I am sure that it will make for some happy little puppies in the hardest and hottest part of summer, now if we could just get it for the rest of the house LOL
