We live on a 43 acre ranch in North Texas, and have been in the horse business for 30 plus years. We bought our first pair of Aussies in 2005 and discovered from that experience that raising puppies was something I wanted a lot more of.
The puppies energize me. They are a daily lesson in friendship, love, trust, faith, happiness, and a fascination for the "simple things" in life...the flutter of a leaf, the suns shadow, snowflakes falling slowly to the ground. I am reminded with resultant humility that us and the animal kingdom are one and the same in the scheme of creation.
