Narita Farms Aussies

Haven't updated this blog in awhile; completely forgot to.  Hawk went to his second conformation shows this weekend in Tucson.  He handled the travel well and we were prepared to show.  I showed him and he got a 2nd out of his class.  Next day I saw one of the juniors win her jr handling class and asked if she would work with Hawk and quickly show him for me.  She only had time to work with him during the altered class.  Thank God the altered class was quite large and took awhile to get through it.  She showed Hawk for me and they got another second.  After a short lunch break, it was Alexia's turn with Hawk in his puppy class.  Again our competition was Sherry Trusty's puppy who had won the 2 previous shows.  Well, Hawk outdid himself and performed a miracle with Alexia(or she performed one with Hawk); they won BOSP (Best Opposite Sex Puppy)!  What a great dog.  The next  two shows on Sunday she showed him again.  Lu...

Back roof and carport started; sure was hot with Tucson hitting 107 Friday.  99 here.

The AZ room is now done and Ivan is starting on the back carport.  This one will be in wood. 

Behind on my blog.  Friday, May 4th, my Dorprer cross had triplets(2 boys and one girl).

Took Seven to a AHA meeting/fun day Saturday.  Tim worked her on goats.  She was having fun taking down the TP in the bath Friday night; too funny.  Then on to Mayer for Sat. night.  She was good in the motel.  Sunday Molly worked her on sheep after a long day of watching and waiting while others run their dogs twice each.  Then lunch and the meeting; home before dark.  Fun, long and busy weekend.  Home never felt so good.  Thanks to the herding and BC clubs for a fantastic weekend; it was all about 7 for sure.

Today Fred brought over some new sheep.  One bred ewe; 4 lambs and one ram.

Happy Birthday to my sweet puppy Chula who was born 3 years ago on this date.  I remember her mom coming here and she was so sweet.  Until she was bred to Sam; then she was Mr. Hyde.  All's well that ends well as we got some beautiful puppies for Sharon and hubby.  We took Chula as pick puppy with the help of friend Linda Clark.  Originally I had picked another but Linda said pick the one with all the color.  When we went to pick her out beforehand she was our choice.  Then to pick a name.  My neighbor MaryLou liked Chula which means cute in Spanish.  I've since learned it means other things.  But, cute is what she is and will stay.  Thanks to all these wonderful friends for making this happen.  The most important being my friend ShanAnne who informed Bill of my Sam being available for his red girl.
