Ringo and Gabby Puppies are having a Coming Out Party

May 2nd, 2009

Gab decided that she knew better than me and had her puppies under the farm lab building.  Patiently we have waited to see their faces to announce the birth.

A couple of days ago they started to peak out from under the building. Within a day or two, Gab had moved all nine to the time tested “puppy place” under the steps to the front porch.

I think that there are 9 puppies: 6 girls and 3 boys.

Silent Auction to Benefit National English Shepherd Rescue

February 16th, 2009

The American Working Farm Collie Association is coming together to help the  English Shepherds rescued in Montana.  The Farm Collie group is sponsoring a  Benefit Silent Auction  with proceeds going to help the National English Shepherd Rescue (NESR).  There is some really interesting articles up for bid on the website.

Please take a moment to visit the site.  Perhaps you will find something you would like and all the proceeds are going to help care for the dogs in Montana.  If you are not familiar with  the situation in Montana

Two hundred English Shepherds were seized in Montana and the NESR is heavily involved in the physical and mental rehabilitation of these dogs till they can be placed in new homes.  http://www.nesr.info/montana.htm

The silent auction will end February 21th.
