Sometimes Life gets in the way……

……..of writing in the blog……..I haven’t had time to write anything as the last week has been pretty hectic.  I was on the committee for the annual Wisconsin Dog Fair, an event that has gotten larger and larger each year.  This year we moved to a larger venue and as vendor chair I had 100 vendor booth spaces taken and their occupants to take care of.   The Dog Fair was 11/4 and I think it was a huge success since I have not gotten a single complaint from my vendors!  

 Friday (11/2) I was interviewed on the noon news program on Channel 3.  They said bring a dog and with all my reliable Lab girls in season it fell to a Pug to participate.  Sprite was as good as could be, sitting nicely on my lap for the entire interview.  Then the Sunday a.m. at the Dog Fair Channel 15 was doing a “live remote” with interviews from the Dog Fair as it was being set up.  I had brought Summer, my 1 year old Lab with to be a representative for our breed so she got her 3 minutes of fame as I was interviewed during that broadcast.  I saw the show on their web site and fortunately the cameras focused mainly on Summer while I was being interviewed.  Now if I was not at a dog event on a Sunday a.m. the last thing I would be doing was watching TV at 8 a.m. but apparently half of the population of this area was doing just that as everywhere I’ve gone the last few days someone is telling me they saw me on TV.    I wasn’t nervous because partially I thought no one would be watching!

Hello world!

Since I’m always posting news on the top of my web page I decided it’s time that I join the modern world and start a blog!

I can’t promise how much I’ll write but I have to start somewhere!

It’s been a beautiful fall day here in WI — mid 50s and sunny which for late October is not bad although the 80s of a couple of weeks ago were much better as far as I am concerned. The leaves haven’t even all turned and I’ve still got some tomatoes growing and pumpkins that aren’t all orange. And great news, the Badgers won against Indiana today!

I was fortunate enough to have time to ride my horse, Nick, this afternoon. He was a bit frisky with the cooler temperatures but we had a nice ride around the neighbor’s hay field. Hope to ride again tomorrow.
Well, off to feed the dogs….
