Finally, after all the cold and all the waiting, spring has fully arrived.  The first wave of dandelions is blooming and the trees are leafing out.  It’s been great to get back into doing things outdoors with the dogs.  Xupe went swimming for the first time today – on his own, back and forth, across one of the ponds.  Up ’til today he’d been wading in up to his chest, but not seeming ready to swim.  Today he just did it.  He swam back and forth to and from the island in the pond along with Finley and Chev.

As of this afternoon 7 of the 120 quail eggs that we’ve been incubating, started hatching.  Biff picked up 30 flight-ready quail for training pups and dogs last Tuesday.  The 120 chicks won’t be ready to fly for another 6 -7 weeks.  If you want to get your pup into birds, give Biff a call and we’ll arrange a time.
