Spooktacular Fun

Our Annual costume contest and barrel race at the Hopper Ranch October 17th 2009.

Yeah SUNSHINE

It had been since October the 2nd since the sun had made an appearance in our neck of the woods.......so when it finally did arrive we ALL made the best of it

Some good words to live by...............

'Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.'

A sharp tongue can cut your own throat.





If you want your dreams to come true, you mustn't oversleep.


Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important.


The best vitamin for making friends..... B1.



The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.


The heaviest thing you can carry is a grudge.


One thing you can give and still keep...is your word.


You lie the loudest when you lie to yourself
If you lack the courage to start, you have already finished.
One thing you can't recycle is wasted time.
Ideas won't work unless ' You' do.


Your mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open..


The 10 commandments are not a multiple choice.


The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a lifetime! It is never too late to become what you might have been.


Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right.. Forget about the one's who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

Friends are like balloons; once you let them go, you might not get them back. Sometimes we get so busy with our own lives and problems that we may not even notice that we've let them fly away. Sometimes we are so caught up in who's right and who's wrong that we forget what's right and wrong. Sometimes we just don't realize what real friendship means until it is too late. I don't want to let that happen so I'm gonna tie you to my heart so I never lose you.

The house that Dan built..............

So Dan spent the weekend building the pups a place that they could keep warm and dry..........all made out of scrap materials; but ever so cozy. I'ts completely lined with carpet and raised up of the ground with a layer of shavings between the floor and the ground! Here is a pic of Dan's tent house.........



And here is where the pups sleep when it's not storming!



Here's a few of Whisky Girl.......the one we are most likely keeping...............
