Cheryl I'm glad you found a cool place to stay. How long do you have to be away from your house? I guess as long as it takes to make sure things are done right is the part that matters. Hope you're keeping an eye on repairs and asking lots of questions.
I had the flu for 3 weeks and just starting to feel kind of OK. I got to the poultry show in Turlock this moring at 8am. Only 23 hours early. DUH! Luckily there was a match show going on, so took two of my grand daughters with me and they wanted to go see the dogs. Figures it was Labs. I have never liked them and all most years of showing and training, I have never even bothered to learn the standards, and still picked out every 1st and 2nd place from the groups we watched. Guess I haven't completely lost my touch after 13 years. LOL
So Makayla and I will have to be going to the show alone tomorrow, since I'll be dropping Khamaria off to my daughter in Tracy in 2 hours. Grandma really blew it. I hadn't realized that neither of the girls had been to a dog show with me. They're 5 and 12, so weren't around for all my Rotties and the constant shows, but they really liked the match. Of course, Khamaria being one of my dog kids, she wants to show now. Her mom did JR Showmanship when she was her age with some of the Rotties, so when I figure out my situation, I think I'll be scoping out Germany or Italy for another import to show. Depends on if I ever get some of my life back.
I came home to 2 pips, one B/B/S/ AM and one FBCM from one of my Davis girls. One little Black (I think, but still wet) AM out already. Hope I get them all to hatch. I also have some of my Game x Marans (bred them for eggs and meat) in there and a couple of Cubalayas. No pips yet, but today is hatch day and they're right on time, so heres hoping.
I'm supposed to take a processing class next month. We'll see how that goes. LOL
Anna what's the cost of this class? My husband knew how to process pigs and I used to help somewhat when I was bartending. We would have a pig roast every Super Bowl, and they started with a live pig. There were three guys that mainly did the work though. Was thinking I might have to learn how to do this too.
