Tractor & doggy update

My neighbour was so so so nice to fix not only my new mower but the old one too so we have a running tractor for the parades YIPEE. He also said he may have a little wagon for us so we could pull a few kids with puppies or something at the parade! Now we need volunteers to come and paint the old orange tractor and give it the "NARC" touch. Make it look fun and ensure it attracts people's eyes! We'll need to get lettering to paint NARC and our website, maybe phone number too - ideas people now is the time to come up with them. Louise here at work said she will fix the seat and figure something out in brown, with ears at the back so that will be fun looking!

Page is still driving me crazy, she is a very strong dog, I've put patio stones on top of patio stones so that she doesn't get under the mobile home and yet - there she is again, night after night, when I get home from work I get dirty and pissed off for having to crawl under the trailer and get her pups back on their comfortable bed IN THE HOUSE! There always has to be the ONE doggy who knows how to push your buttons Ha! Ha! Anyways, they are doing well and she is still too cute and sweet to get way too mad at...

Miley's puppies had visitors, all the neighbours came to greet them and pet them, they now know my voice and when I come in they all run to greet me - just too adorable. She too had me working hard, was doing the same as Page (in the same trailer) so we moved her to the barn but not before having to muck the biggest stall in there for a whole day to get it all sparkling clean for Mom and Pups.

Well, I have new muscles now and my body is aching from head to toe from lifting tiles, mucking manure, planting flowers, mowing the very very tall grass since we just got all of our mowers back this week - it's been quite the hard working week but I FEEL GREAT! OK a bit tired but still GREAT! The new garden around the pond is looking wonderful, can't wait to see it next year when the baby plants are full grown and produce thicker/wider foliage!

Bring on the perennials, plants, shrubs - if you have them, we will take them and finish our pond garden, to give you an idea, we are planting around a pond that is approximately 200 ft each side and 20-30 feet at the ends so it's a big pond and we need perennials big time! The bridge is another story and we will soon start working on fixing it - only when the grass around it is finally mowed as it's hard to access it right now!

I guess that's it otherwise I will be writing a book - talk to you all soon!
