Another Pup and a Little Quilt Experimenting

 This summer we added another furry buddy to our family. The new guy is Duncan and the big guy is Angus. They are fast friends and related from the same breeding program out of White Fence Farm Goldens in Hastings MN. The little guy is actually Angus's uncle.

They are water dogs and mud dogs. Fortunately the mud falls off if given a chance to dry before coming inside. Angus has gone to work with my guy this summer and been such a good boy. He loves my guy.

Duncan has been a mascot at the Gallery & Gifts this summer by going to work with me since he's too little to be hanging out all day at home in a kennel. He's met many people and had a chance to go to the dog park and met some dog friends.

 This summer has given me precious little time to complete everything I need to such as the garden and quilting.

 I did manage to create these runners that sold so fast I barely got to enjoy them.

 I'm super thrilled with how they came together and I look forward to creating more this winter.

Dogs and Puppies

 This past November we added to our furry household. Please welcome Angus. Our Angus is now a well adjusted 10 month old and July 18th we are adding a second golden puppy to our family. His name will probably be Duncan. The new pup will also be a light colored golden and from a breeder in MN that Angus' mother came from. He's a sweet boy and we worked him to make sure he was that way.

At the same time we added Angus we also added Charlie a black and white female cat that had been abandoned and found our greenhouse last summer and hung out there until we decided she needed to come inside with us.

Charlie and Angus are best buds and I hope Duncan will be a good little brother to both.

Saying this I've tried very hard to keep up with my longarm quilting, customer work, and things for the Gallery & Gifts for me to sell. It's been tough and a bit exhausting with all of the walking and potty breaks for a puppy.
