Murphy 1989 – 2010

It is with sadness that I must report the passing of Murphy. She was a house-warming present from our friend Anne when we bought our house back in the fall of 1989. Since then, she has been Warren’s constant bed-warmer (and she was smart enough not to sleep on my half!) We thought we were [...]

What were we thinking?

Back when Warren and I sent our entries in for Gallatin Dog Club AKC obedience trial, June seemed so far away. We’d have plenty of time to teach the broad jump and work on those pesky out of sight stays. Harley at least has the retrieves down, but Lexi was still in the learning stages [...]

4H Agility Class Tonight
