You are receiving this e-blast because you signed up for these e-blasts on FourLeg.com. If for some reason, this makes you unhappy... then unsubscribe at the bottom. But for everyone else... HEY! Let's get on with the show! More on Functional Exercise! My week in review:
Well, what about this week? We had 2 Borzoi living with us all last week, and they had a great run in our field for a couple of days and then the deep freeze hit! Down to -30C!
That's -20F for my US friends. So in my spare time I found myself letting hounds out, letting them back in, then out again, then back in. It was all we could do to keep them from getting stir crazy, and they wanted to play so much, but just couldn't last long outdoors! It's getting a bit tiresome... but at least it's given me justification to build a fire in the fireplace each night!
At the Christmas Market last Sunday brought in over $1000, about
30 names to add to our mailing list, and hopefully some new clients!
I have been busy catching up since the membership drive I did the previous week. I was an envelope stuffing machine!!
Oh, and more news on the youngest son. He gets to be Santa at the elementary school the week after next and additionally has been chosen to emcee his graduation banquet next June. The kid is on cloud nine, he's so happy. (His football wrap up
banquet will be on Wednesday this week as well.)
The oldest son's last exam is on the 22nd! Poor kid! So he has informed us that he'll be home later in the day on the 23rd!
And lastly, I hate Christmas shopping.
Anyhoo... enough about me, here's your learning for this week!
