Since having constant problems with my webserver, I've decided to begin to make updates via this blog.

We traveled to Istanbul, Turkey in early October, having a wonderful time with the friendly people, fascinating architecture and great food in this country. My son Seth attended a local farm auction for me while we were gone and picked up a Kubota tractor with some attachments - something I've needed for a long time!

The dogs are doing well - Trouble got a leg in AKC Started Sheep, Riker's back competing, Stryker continues to have fun with agility, Ziva is getting ready to start trialing and we have plans for our 2011 litters underway. Solo goes to the DVG Nationals this weekend; I"ll be driving down for support and will update from the event site if I have internet access.
