Not much going on around here as of late.  It's fall so things are winding down, though we are getting ready for some winter stuff.  Such as building the new/replacement poultry building.  

Couple of weekends ago we road tripped it to Grinnell IA for the Iowa Kennel Club's fall shows.  It's the local UKC club and figured, what the heck, why not go?  We ended up getting Mal's UKC title and Kevin had a little fun in the NL puppy ring--how's a Best Puppy in Show fancy ya?   

He really is a cutie, totally spoiled and proved he is a comedian too.  Everyone now knows who Kevin is and we get asked how he's doing on a regular basis.

Off topic, or sort of off topic, how about another one of my wonderful observations?

Something that is happening shortly, has made me sit back and reflect.  It's not something I take lightly by any means, but the ending(though I hope it really is a great beginning), made me really acknowledge, how very important it is to make your own decisions about people.  Though you might consider someone a friend and value their opinion, it’s important to get to know both sides of the equation.   Knowing what I know now, I’m seriously wondering how much of a “friend” they really are.   I’m happy with my outcome and not at all surprised by what they did, or do or will do/say anymore.  I pray that someday they can also be happy by simply being honest.  Stretched truths are simply just lies and playing the game just to be the “in” person will eventually bite you in the hiney.

Oh I like the way that sounded, hiney, wonder how many times I can use that word today?   Anyhow, we'll now return you to your regularly scheduled program...how about a shot of coonhound cuddling with the hubby?

Later gators...
