Getting Closer!

 

Not a dog show post!  No more shows until March for me and the girls.  
Anyway, the power is on now, and hopefully by New Years we'll be in.  Hopefully Benny will be over this coming week to hook up the septic, then really we just need internet(which Jess is supposed to call and get moving on Monday) and then gravel on the driveway. 
But I have been working on my bedroom more and more.  Tomorrow afternoon we are going to do soem heavy work on the kitchen/dining/Living rooms to make them more than ready to go.


Plus my desk is moved over, tomorrow Jess is going to hook back up my computer.  Dad has to re-glue the middle drawer track back together, I'll just put that stuff into the box while he works on that drawer.


Our chest freezer has gotten moved over, it's plugged in, running and has our stuff in it!


Got most of my carousel ornaments up on the wall, they are kind of behind my bedroom door and I have plenty more to still go up, including the unicorn ones too.


The girls were chilling out while I worked on my plastic ponies


And Got the TV up and going on the Calvary external harddrive.  Had a movie playing while I worked.  Helped settle the girls and gave me a time frame to work with.

Snow Day

 Promise to not bury this with the dog show from yesterday.  But Last night into this morning was the first snowfall of the season.  While it is pretty, I am not a fan of the cold weather that comes with it. 












Now as for the show yesterday, it was a first time in that particular facility and let's just say it was gorgeous.  Lovely facility.  I know I did not do enough training coming into it but we qualified and even got 4th place out of 7 dogs that qualified.  Very pleased.  Queen City dog training club has a fantastic facility.  I do have to say I love Russel Hornfisher as a judge- he can get some humor going.  Autumn and I were first in the ring and I had calmed and settled myself as we went into the ring.  Autumn lost 3 points in her heeling exercise from jumping up.  In her figure 8 exercise lost 1 point from jumping and 1 point for bumping into my leg.  Last point lost was a crooked sit on her recall.  Was very happy.
