Little people...


< sigh > winter weather past few days. A few unexpected events added to the platter this wk. Came home from errands to little people in the house...my hubby brought home his niece's kids as she ended up being rushed to the hospital for a quick delivery. So a few projects put off and the puppies brought into the kitchen for games and some training time around kids. Red Light-Green Light works great for blowing the steam off both :) ... kids were shown how to bounce pups off them as they jump up and to wait until the pup offers a sit to be petted. Kids were told they could be as loud as they wanted and we could use all the noisy toys. ( hubby had left for town ) One hour later one kid down and 2 pups left to crash. Pups were really good with the kids and the kids ended up with a little sister in the mean time. With husband off work this wk, means catching up on outside stuff with me on the end of a wrench helping getting things serviced...ended up with a 200 lb implement table dropped on my elbow when it fell of the blocks...had to be lifted off since I was pinned. Thinking to myself I dont have time to be layed up...Still swollen and sore , but useable. Breeding season with bulls on both sides of the corral fence that needs to be monitored daily. Seems everytime the husband leaves is when I have bulls that try jumping the fence...except it's more like crashing the fence. Thank god for a good dog to move and sort things back and move them with a small pasture inbetween. Would be perfect if he could hold boards or manage a hammer. Think we have 2 left to cover ...will know soon as the next cycle passes through before they head to pasture. My sheep pasture is under water....have only a small area of ground to use for training. Have 2 days of booth at trade fairs starting tomorrow...need to get packing.
