Here on the farm we have my
dogs and my son, Ben's.
Sweetheart loves farm life
and has rapidly become my
number one chore dog- always
velcroed to the back of my
leg when it is chore time-
We have been moving a mobile
home to the farm and getting
it set up and we rented a
Ditch Witch and had deep
ruts cut in the ground to
run the water and gas
pipes. I stepped in them
twice and about killed
myself, but that is not part
of this story-
Last week we were out in the
bitter cold hooking up the
water lines and Ben asked me
to go to a place where there
was a lot of loose dirt in
the bottom, and rake it back
so that we could bury the
water line deep enough to
prevent freezing, so I was
down on my belly reaching
into the crack with a hoe,
and here came Sweetheart,
down in the ditch helping me
dig!
What a great dog- thanks
Erin and Mary and Vivian and
De! I am very proud to have
bred Sweetie myself, but I
could never have done it
without you!
