you guys are supposed to talk me out of it. lol
One aspect to consider is that it'll be a large dog as an adult, even larger than the normal German Shepherd with the Mastiff in there. Those are incredibly strong dogs as well, so it could pose a problem if there would be no one to control it. I know you have Robert, but I thought I'd give you a heads-up.
 
Today i built the gate for Mel's new pen, and installed it. Pounded in the first post and attached a cattle panel to it. I still need to make the pallet flooring, a feed bin holder, put the roof on, and pound in the rest of the posts and attach cattle panels.
 
Oh! He's so ugly he's cute. Poor little thing. Hope God has blessed him with a loveable personality to make up for the lacking in the 'looks' dept.

We had rain here last night. Today it is 60. In the middle of January, in the midwest. Go figure.

Thought you might like to see some of my winter projects. Part of my heritage is Native American. I am Cherokee. To quote Chief Black Elk "I am an Indian. If you have one drop of Indian blood in your veins, then you are Indian."

With that thought in mind I have been delving into my Cherokee lineage and dabbling in some NA art. The first and third pictures are a gourd rattler I am making. Since the design wraps around the gourd head it's hard to get it all in one picture. I have a lot of work to do on it. Just started shading out the feathers and still have to add a lot of detailing.

The middle is a picture of the two choker necklaces I have made. These are from kits and the top one is real bone beads and abalone. The second is plastic. DH got the top one for me for Christmas. I wanted to see which material I liked the best so I got the bottom one. I like the natural bone ones better so now plan to branch out and design my own.

I also have a beading loom that I have set up and ready to go. I used to do bead work when I was in high school but got away from it. Figure if I don't pursue my interests now, I'm never going to do it. I'm also trying to learn a little Cherokee. THAT is the tough one.
