Misty and Roxy

Well sometimes you just can't say no. These are my new foster girls that I will be fostering for the Collie Rescue until they get adopted. Roxy and Misty are 2 beautiful female Rough Collies who need a home. As they have been together since puppies it would be great to see them adopted together . Please contact me if you are interested. Misty looks so much like my Antrim doesn't she.

Spring is here for sure!

Well you really know it is spring when the sheep get sheared for the season. On Friday I went to help my friend Cindy Osland with her shearing. The famous shearer Ruco Braat was doing the shearing and we were doing the skirting and decision whether the fleece went for sale to hand spinners or got shipped to the wool mill. I really enjoy this day and as payment we get to pick what fleece we would like to take home... tough decision of course as their are so many nice ones. I did settle for a dark brown fleece and can't wait to start working on it. 90 sheep were shorn on Friday and another 60 will be done next week. The little white lamb was so cute watching his mommy get shorn. The noice in the barn is incredible from crying moms and babies as they are temporarily separated. They are so cute. One little lamb is so small it had to have a sweater on. I cuddled him and he weighs nothing.....

Mexico again!

Well I had another fabulous time in Mexico. My daughter Emily Smith and Bencar are starting a tour business and they took us touring EVERYWHERE! It was fabulous. We started in Mexico City which is just beautiful and ended at their house in Chetumal. We saw lots of pyramids and ruins and got to swim in this fabulous lake as shown . The colours of the water were unreal. Check out her website... www.ohpana.wordpress.com
