A Nice Sunday Afternoon......

It is a beautiful day here, with lots of sunshine and warm temps in the 60's!! My daughter Olivia and her boyfriend came over for lunch, and afterwards she and I gave Greta a much needed spring haircut.  Later we went for a wagon ride, and I got lots of pictures. So, I thought I would share a few with everyone..... if you don't want to see a lot of pictures, you may want to skip today's post, LOL.......

This is Greta before..........



She is now 4, and I have kept her shaved nearly her whole life, but we let her grow out this winter just to see what her coat looked like.....I loved her long dark red tinged dark hair, but with the weather warming up, she was getting hot and panting alot. And , it is soooo much easier to keep her clean with short hair, not to mention the shedding, so I decided it was time for her hair to go.



Here she is today showing off her new haircut....she was ready for it, she jumped right up on that grooming table and loved it!!...........It's a little short right now, but in a couple weeks it will look great and she will have a jet black, shiny coat! Then in about 8 weeks or so, we will do it all over again............


 
Olivia and JC brought their two dogs with them today, Audi, a Jack Russell Terrier / Beagle mix, and their new Dachshund puppy, Merlin.........

Here's Audi on the wagon ride, she was a little nervous, but she did great!........



And here's little Merlin....9 weeks old.....isn't he adorable.............






Here's the two Jacks together, (Audi, and my Ruby Jane), with Ralphie playing outside......



Audi and Ralphie wrestling, LOL....so cute......






Terry's sister and his nephew Cannon went on the wagon ride today. Terry let Cannon dive the mules, and then gave him a lesson in unhooking the mules from the wagon, and just the basics of handling them....Cannon did a great job.

Terry "teaching" Cannon the basics, LOL............



Cannon leading the mules back to the barn..........



These are the latest mules that we bought, they are unbelievably well trained, calm, very easy going and laid back.  They were the perfect pair for Cannon to learn with, they gave him no problems at all....

.....so we had a nice day today, hope everyone else had a great Sunday     :-)

  2. We too, keep our pooch cut in the summer. He's an australian shepherd and his log hair clogs up the pool filter so he is kept short. Time is getting close. Another month and he'll be clipped. Your mules are just huge. or at least look huge. What fun going for a ride on a nice sunny day!! Lucky you! I loved the little dappled doxie!!...debbie
