This is Chloe. She just joined our family as Ruth's new dog. She is 3/4 Corgi 1/4 Miniature AustralianShepherd. She is just about the same size as the kittens. She has already learned to appreciate time off from the kids by hiding in her kennel.
We got two new kitties this last week. We decided after seeing a few mice having free run of the house that we really needed some. Eden named them Charlie and Lola. As you can see they get plenty of love.
It is starting to look like the cooking and love of the kitchen gene is continuing in the male line. Corban has taken to "helping" Alma with dinner and he refuses to be excluded from the action. He will push a chair clear across the kitchen in order to climb up and help. Don't worry, the stove isn't hot in the photo. Notice he eats a lot while cooking.
We had a very busy summer. We traveled to Colorado, Idaho and Utah to visit family. We brought our horses to Montana ( we now have 5 ). And we moved into a big house with some acres for our horses. On top of all this Alma had his own schooling to work on as well as helping to cut hay for some friends. I took on a job sanding and refinishing cabinets.
