I had 52F on Sunday and it poured rain yesterday. In the subarctic. In February. Most bizarre WX. I love your solution of retiring Tink to Seester's care. That should be quite acceptable for both of them, I'd think.

You can have her when she's retired, and slower.Jennifer Monterohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10003650742439806128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884610467022224157.post-71353218417322070722015-02-23T05:28:24.793-08:002015-02-23T05:28:24.793-08:00Jayne - It was completely our own fault, but heat ...Jayne - It was completely our own fault, but heat and hot water is now restored.

The...Elsfield Chickens - Now that's a question! The short answer is: Depending on how trained you want your dog, and the dog's natural ability AND your ability as a trainer - anywhere between a year and 3 years. But as the dogs get past 6 years, they start to ignore commands as they know what they're doing. Most work until they are 10 or 12 years old.Jennifer Monterohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10003650742439806128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884610467022224157.post-40289845157136789872015-02-16T02:48:22.098-08:002015-02-16T02:48:22.098-08:00Oh, give Seester Tink!

Except it's mostly wet and green (spruce). We've been on wood heat since November, which at 7K sq ft and averaging -10 is a fulltime job. Good on you for the successful season. Sending my extra love to Dakota. Tinker just said she wants to go keep Seester company. And they would come home to visit. :-)Janice Bendixennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884610467022224157.post-76451932412345208102015-02-14T19:24:23.757-08:002015-02-14T19:24:23.757-08:00WOW
