Shoofly Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 You guys tired of my new camera yet? Sunday morning service at Shoofly: I can't believe these guys all sat still for this. This is my team of trial dogs (the 3 Open dogs on the left, Zac the PN/Nursery dog on the right). I think Spottie looks like she's thinking very hard up on that rock.

blackacre Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Wobin, I really really need to know this. Every time I head down your way in the spring, I see those fuschia coloured flowering shrubs along the road and wonder what they are, and nobody has ever been able to tell me their name, and now I see some in the background of one of your shots. Do you know? BTW, nice pics, and I feel a little better about you tormenting me with spring since we're getting closer too. In fact, I have high hope for this week, every day is supposed to be sunny and 13 degrees celsius or above. Andrea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodi Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Beautiful photos, Robin! I was just nosing around your website, and saw the new page you put together of all the photos of your dogs taken by various people, i.e. Denise, Christine, Mark, etc. Gorgeous! What a neat page, what stunning dogs, and what great friends you have... Jodi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoofly Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Hey A. - Easy one, they called red buds and i could even send one or two home with you in May if you'd like. They surround my place and i just love them. Glad spring is springing there. It's about 60 degrees here and i just got a phone call from a friend who's at the farm with her dogs this morning - the first Shoofly lamb just popped out right in front of her. Thanks Jodi, you're right, i have *great* friends and darned talented too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeezSK Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Awesome pictures. I've been wanting to try my dog on sheep now that she is a little bigger but everytime I think spring is finally here, I wake up the next morning to an inch of snow Your green fields make me jealous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackacre Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Yes yes please! I love them, I'd love to have a couple of plants. BeezSK, Condolences. I used to live in Prince Albert and haven't recovered yet. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucknjill Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 ahhh your first lamb, what flavor? I just had a lesson this morning..talk about one of your days.. Fred looked like he need a little lead in his ear...Tak was up to his usual tricks and I am giving my 12 occlock and then heading back to the safety of my covers and see if I can pretend that this day never happened....sheesh...what a mess.

juliepoudrier Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Andrea, FYI, red buds are actually trees, though they are small like dogwoods. I always know spring is here when the red buds start to bloom! Robin, Nice pictures! J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoofly Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 2 new lambs, apparently vanilla flavored since they're both white. I hope it's a trend, i've been getting lots of black lambs the last couple of years. I'll head out in a bit to see them and check for boy vs girl. Expect more pictures of lambs this week.

Pipedream Farm Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Nice photos Robin. Don't worry; I won't tire of seeing them. Are you coming up to the next one at Verna's? It'll be Bette's debut. Renee was just remarking on how she doesn?t have any recent photos of Bette (hint, hint). Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoofly Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I'll be there one day i think. I'll give it a try, but i'm not very good yet. Will Bette hold still for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I love all your dogs, but I have a "thing" for Zac. Can't wait to see the lambs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoofly Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Hey Margaret - We'll have to get some shots of Loki next time out. I can't wait to see the lambs myself, it's hard to sit here and wait to leave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 That'd be great! Hopefully not when he's eating sheep poo or weeing on the fence . Love the avatar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb Mickey Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Thanks everyone for the springtime photos. It's great to see the lambs, the flowering plants and, of course, the dogs! Keep 'em coming! Isn't it great the days are getting longer - and Daylight Savings time starts this coming weekend! Yippeee! More daylight to train in (dang, day job :mad: ). [Edited to add] - Hey Mark & Renee ... we expect a full report on Bette's debut! Cous Annie can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrayburn Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Eastern Redbud. Cercis canadensis. I might know a horticulturalist with some seed in her pocket if you really want some . You can buy established plants too (might be easier) from anybody that sells native trees and shrubs. There are also several nice cultivars available.

blackacre Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Seed would be awesome Lisa. Much better for smuggling over the border eh? Maybe Sue could bring a packet to the Bluegrass? A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerrigan Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Beautiful photos! Post more! Spottie is still my favorite, but they are all a great looking bunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Lovely! I think Spottie looks like she's thinking very hard up on that rock.I think she looks like she's saying "OK, I've got them all organized for you Mom - now what would you like me to do?"
