Narita Farms Aussies

 cold and windy with a smidge of snow.twelve pups for Pepper today; two new ram lambs.  One was really weak so I brought him inside and gave him egg yoke; hot water; and Karo syrup.  Took back to mom and he nursed; fine by the p.m. Happy New Year!

Had a phone call from Christine and Jim; so nice.  Also calls from Cheryl and Tammy.  I cooked a turkey and going to share with the furkids.  They all got beef bones too.  Puppies are 3 weeks old so they had their photos taken.  The also got nail trims and their first meal.

Yesterday was a gray day with no rain/snow.  It is getting a little warmer at night.  Started to feed Sarah's animals yesterday til Wed. 

The well went out yesterday and Frank came to fix it yesterday.  Needed a new pump.  Who knew; these things only last from eight to ten years.  Today we are having rain and windy temps.  Glad to have wood in the woodstove.  Took puppy photos Tuesday after their stitches taken out Monday.  Took 2 ram lambs to market Monday; Tony coming by later.

We are having another day of rain.  We really need it in the desert.  Luckily, it is not cold enough to snow. 

Today I gave all the dogs bones.  Tacori also started her noon meal.  I think she needs 3 meals a day.  Since the chickens have decided to restart laying, I gave her a yoke from the frozen eggs, plus some hamburger with her kibble.  Pups will be 2 weeks old Tuesday so they need more milk from mom.

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...
