you know dino, there are advantages to being old. you can say and do stuff that younger people can't get away with.

when we old people do those things, others just look at us, shake their head and say "oh it's okay, she's old."

so there are advantages.

OOOOh you're right! Well if you've got the indoor arena that would be perfect! We could do herding and freestyle classes in there. And obedience of course. Not to mention guest lecturers. I'm thinking two week long retreats, one the beginning of summer and one towards the end and that way it won't be too hot out.

oooo, Nina! You party animal you!

Now, to the pictures I was taking for you guys before all the excitement.

Um...indoor doggy area anyone? This is our big barn


Inside, I'm standing in the hayloft about 20ft from the back wall. We'll need to do some work and make my dad & brother move their junk out. I think it'll work though...


Comes with built in kennels!


Mingle with the wildlife? Hmmmm...we can also teach them puppies not to chase deer. (where they are standing is about the same spot I took the first pic from)


Hmmmm...wonder if we can build an airstrip here?

This looks like a good place to practice all kind of things with dogs that aren't so good at recall. As soon as we clean it out first that is (big meanie owners didn't want any equipment down by the "buildings" like it has been for the last 20 years ). Actually until I perfected Harley's recall this is where I went to let him off leash, probably 12ft. fence. I don't think they jump over that (need to fix the gates first but thats nothing ).

Its big! They held inside rodeo's in there! (the inside corrals weren't there at that time ) Where I'm standing in the inside pic is where the grandstands used to be, and there is stairs from what used to be the stands to the cafeteria and bathrooms.
