Mine is going on 10, and is the most awesome dog! Spencer is beautiful and reminds me of our Nikita when she was a pup. I also wanted to add that the old horseman/farmer we bought our horses from had only one arm, and he gave shots to horses, cleaned stalls, drove a tractor, shoveled sawdust, worked with his 20 some horses, and more. My husband trained horses for him and I learned alot from this man. He never used a prothesis. Never had a choice, just learned to adapt I guess. Jackie, you are great! Have a Merry Christmas!

Congrats on the new grandson...enjoyed that picture also...Beautiful tree, so neat to be able to go out and cut one on the property and I am all for the simplifying of Christmas..it has become so commercial..I had wondered about your mom since you didn't mention her in your last story? Hope you stay warm this winter we are trying to but with oil so high, life is getting more expensive...I am trying to do my homestead thing where I live in suburbia near a small town, I have chickens, big garden and can alot also!
