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!
