In the above photo, Dutchess has spotted Pete (the peacock) for the first time, and as you can see, she is in hunting form. She was reprimanded immediately after the pic was taken, it's still a work in progress, luckily, Pete can spot her from quite a distance and heads for safety before she can get close.

Welome to our newest Family member

Welcome to Dutchess!!! Out newest family member, so we now have a Duke and Dutchess. We adopted her about 6 weeks ago from the Muskingum County Dog Pound, she was picked up as a stray and was a wee bit skinny but as you can see, she's gained some weight (about 60# now). They said she's a Rottweiler mix (I think more Rott than anything else). She is quite the hunter and we've had a few incidents with a couple of young deer that ventured too close to the house and also one that ended up in the barn. She is almost perfect, only one flaw really, but I have to admit it's been a challenge to deal with...she wants to hurt, maim, kill our barn cats. Kitties are all still flourishing though despite her best efforts, she is doing better since Larry has been teaching her the "leave it" command. Milo can now walk up to her and rub all over her, Daisy and Jewel aren't taking any chances and flee the moment she is spotted. I'll put up more pics later.

More Winter 2010

photos taken from our front yard

I know everyone complains about winter, but to me it's the most beautiful season when it snows.

Winter Storm 2010

I was lucky to snap these photos around 7:30 this morning, it seems anytime the snow flies, the horses start feeling frisky, especially the younger ones. In these photos, Finnegan (our 5 yr old great-grandson of On The Money Red) and Cooper (2 yr old with Firewater Flit and Frenchmans Guy breeding), were having a ball, it was still really putting the snow down and if I had gone any closer they would have quit playing, but hopefully the photos are good enough that you can see how much fun they are to watch when they play.

These two go at it all the time!

In these pics, we have about 8 inches of snow on the ground and it's still snowing and blowing like crazy.

In these two pics, Dooger makes an appearance.

At last, photos are done...this pic is of my shop's signature design the MyBluePeacock Signature Scarf, I absolutely loved the colors of the yarn, I plan to do some different items with it.

And doesn't Miranda look great in red?! This is a very long circular scarf that can be worn many different ways. I made it using one of the patterns that I designed myself.

These are just a few of what I have listed so far, and Miranda's store
http://www.etsy.com/shop/PuppyandMe is also up and running with a few listings. Be sure to "heart" her store, she'd love it.

And finally, this cowl is one of my favorites which I also designed myself. Make sure you check out my etsy store to look at the others I have posted.

Time to take pictures! Yay! Miranda is coming over to be my model for the scarves and cowls I've made and have ready to list on Etsy. I will post them as soon as I can. We are also going to get her etsy shop ready to list items too.
