From the Weekend

I made a new paddock a couple weeks ago. I got tired of mowing so much yard so the horses get to take over a piece of it. It's actually my septic field so it's the first to dry up in the spring and they can munch on some early grass.


Can you tell that I'm a bit of a perfectionist with lining up the posts


The big, black boobs, Dex and George


The next project is to finish my round pen fence. Everything froze up last fall before I could finish.


This one's for Tammy.


I played with the dogs quite a bit since I wasn't feeling up to much of anything else.


I have 2 kongs but they still fight over them



This is what Duke does to get me to throw the Kong. He is one weird dog. He will walk around on his hind legs. It's reminds me of a baboon.





Yogi was out and about prowling in the backyard



Checking out the camera


Flaked out later on from all his adventures


Norman, she's not very exciting


And Nicki, she is the one with all the arthritis issues so she sleeps a lot.


Showing me her one fang smile. She had to have one removed a few years ago


Bright light Mom!

Meerkat, yes, he definitely looks like a meerkat.

awww - great pictures! Love your dancing dog!

Great pics, Dexy I think it would be cool being a pet at your place. Ponies , pretty as always. Duke sure is a dog of many unusual talents..still remembering the treadmill. Yogi , well, he looks like a mobile mischief machine. Is Nicki still getting her acupuncture treatments???? Hubby is wondering if you might hire out to line fence stakes up...he wanted to let you know that we have a bunch that have to go in...let us know!!!!! Sure hope you are feeling better soon!!!!

I think you have even Lord Gord beat in the fence post department. My father would LOVE you - he lines up the salt and pepper shakers on the table! Your place looks so nice and green. I'm green with envy! Yogi looks just like Barney but cleaner. Thanks for thinking of me and sending me a picture of the evil attacking bur bush. Fortunately we don't have any of those in my area - or at least not that we've found yet.

Your dogs are really cute!

great pics Dex.. love love your place.. the puppers, kitties and ponies hit pay dirt when they got you for a mom..

Looking good! Do you want to come line up some fence posts for me?! I SUCK at straight lines hehe

I actually love putting in new fences. I have no idea why but it's one job I look forward to. At my first house I fenced the whole road frontage of the fields. I swear there was not one post out of line for almost a kilometer. I hate when next spring comes and the frost heaves them out of place. That really bugs me The only thing that would make the job more pleasant is if I had a tractor and auger. I can only dig about a dozen posts before my back quits for the day.

Freva - I stopped the acupuncture for Nicki because her recovery time after each treatment was too long. She would be in considerable more pain for 1-2 weeks after each treatment and it didn't seem worth it to me. I've got her on a joint supplement now and she's doing well, plus I've been able to wean her off the anti inflamatories. She's still sore but gets around okay and seems happy so that's the best I can ask for.

Perfectly straight! Good job. What do you mean you dig them? We always pound ours in.

I use a post hole digger like this one to go down about 2 feet, then pound the post in another 6" or so.


I backfill around the post, tamping it in tightly every 6". Only way to get them straight. They are quite solid when done that way too. What can I say, OCD

GREAT WORK CINDYRELLY ON THE POSTS.........AND I ONLY SAY THAT AS I HAVE 100 THAT NEED PLANTING.......I too love them to be straight........so if you are free some weekend and feeling strong.......I 'll trade you places......I;ll go do your taps, you come do my posts.........sounds fair to me. hahaha

Yeah, but didn't you say there's tons of rock up your way????? I'm blessed with rock free soil. Nice try though

Okay, that totally came out wrong. I was thinking about it last night. Of course I will help you with your fence posts. I just don't think I'll be able to get all 100 in in one visit I'm good, but not that good!

You have a lovely place... straight fences and all!! YOur have the cutest critters! I'm in love with Duke!!

As soon as I get this place sold over here and get moved back to Cumberland county.. I want to come and visit you.

Get to pat all your critters!! Looking forward to meeting Prince. ohh and of course you!!

Well you need to hurry up and sell that place then! Any activity lately?

Last month we had a woman fly in from BC. She loved this place, but found another closer to the city. We are realy rural. Nothing since then,, hoping things will pick up once the ferry is running.. as everyone has to pass our place to get anywhere.

What great pic's,love the dogs,Yogi looks like our cat Molly,in the first pic totally focused.
