It's been awhile since I've posted anything. School finished for the summer & it will soon start again. Our back lawn finally resembles a lawn again. Our leech field kicked the bucket. We had the field & the septic redone. They were both replaced in a a different location on the back lawn. The grass seed was spread today & hopefully it will start to grow (I'm sure we'll get rain soon, so we won't have to water it).
Speaking of rain, wow, we have had enough of it. I don't know if I can say that summer has begun. Yesterday & Sunday were both good days of sun.
Our family was in hopes of having a new addition this summer, but turned out not happening. We were hoping for a Bernese Mountain Dog. The "mother dog" turned out not being pregnant. Everything happens for a reason. I don't know what the reason might have been, but now we will just wait until next time. She will be in heat again sometime around November. That means if everything works out, she will have the puppies around January & we can take ours home sometime in March.
I have been doing a lot of research on these dogs. I have always wanted one & couldn't believe it when our friend got this one and said "When she's old enough I'm going to breed her." Well my first reaction was, "Put us on the list!" Once she starting telling others that, she decided she better start keeping "a list."
I've been making a list of names, regular "house" names and registered names. I have a folder already started with all kinds of information in it. Info about the puppy's mother & father and other generic BMD information. I purchased two books from Amazon to help me with my research. We just hope everything works out next time!
