Finally things are getting cooler and it is easier to get chores done Time to think about what needs to be done before winter hits. I need to fill the oil tanks which I dread. Not sure where the cost of oil will be. I need to fill the gas tanks for the generator. Three 5 gallon cans usually get me through the winter. I hope to have two litters of pups in February so I need to have the generator ready for the winter. Especially if we lose power for any length of time. I have heating pads and heat lamps to keep pups warm but they are electric so I definitely need the generator to run. Storm windows to put down. Now I have to find a mason for chimney repairs so the liner can be put in . The chimney is not real secure. But it is leaky and I do need the liner in it. A mason is not that easy to find. So that is a priority. All needs to be finished before winter as new pups cannot get cold. I am breeding Quinn to Charlie and I am not sure how I am breeding Skye. Probably to a sable but not sure which one yet. So many of my puppy buyers prefer the sable. Charlie and Quinn could possibly have a bi black, just black and white and no tan. They can be really pretty. I am looking forward to being busy with puppies. It has been more than a year, It has been 16 months since my last litter. It is a good way to be busy in the winter. Plus they bring so much Joy!
Well I have puppy class today so need to get busy, feed dogs and get ready to go to class. It is such good socialization for Zoe.
Thankfully we are getting the rain that we need. Everyone take care and be sure to give your dogs a hug. Or do something with them that they really enjoy.
Take care and have a happy Sheltied day!
ZOE GROWING UP
