Emmi is Eight Months Old Today

I can't believe how time has flown. She is as tall as Davie. Official stats are 49 pounds and 21.5 inches at the shoulder.





And she loves her brother.

Bender Saskatchewan Wheat Pool Grain Elevator

There was a time when these wooden structures dominated the landscape in the prairies. They are now few and far between. The CP rail line which once ran by was removed in 1963 I believe. The train that ran down this line was a steam locomotive known as the "Peanut". The town was Bender.

This one was built using Douglad Fir 2 x 10s then cladded with cedar siding

Happy Thanksgiving

We have been in Saskatchewan for almost three weeks so please excuse our lack of blogging. We will be posting stories of the road trip this week. Until then we hope everyone has enjoyed their turkey weekend. We are very thankful for good friends, wonderful dogs and a incredibly beautiful country that we live in.

Hey Davie, I found Floyd!!

Our stay is almost over

We will be going home tomorrow, it has been a fun stay. I am going to miss my buddies. I took oodles of pictures and I think the choir has almost fine tuned their singing. Here are some pictures.
It was a warm lazy afternoon yesterday.

House, Horse and Husky Sitting

We are H,H and H sitting for a week. It is rather like living at a three ring circus some of the time. Me, four horses and seven dogs! The neighbourhood may never be the same. On Friday night we all went out for a bathroom break around 8 oclock. Emmi started air scenting as soon as we walked out the back door as did Shiloh the senior husky. About thirty seconds later she started bawling like a real coonhound. They all ran to the back fence but I couldn't see anything out in the back pasture. I think the trail cam needs to come out today. About 10 minutes latter a neighbour from down the road came over because she was concerned something might have happened to one of the huskys because she had never heard a sound like that before! That's when I introduced her to the coonhound and apologised for the noise. She laughed and said, "that sound came out of that pup?" I assured her it did and would continue to do so. She had never seen nor heard a coonhound before.

Who can run faster?

Canicross practice

Emmi tried her harness for the first time today. I wonder if the BT and the BC would pull a sleigh?

Squirrel!

Must get a neckline to keep them together.

Now we need a BC one to complete the signage.
