Where's Kate ?

Kate knows that with my delicate features , I shouldn't be lifting . FedEx left ten 40 pound boxes of dog food . Now where's Kate ? Someone has to move these boxes indoors !
Luckily it stopped raining . The FedEx truck was still parked in our driveway , so I parked in the neighbor's driveway till he left . I went for rabbit pellets , so now there's rabbit pellets in the car & dog food on the porch . Hope Kate paces herself , still lots of yard work to do !

The Fun Never Stops At Big Ears Kennel !

Who knew fence building was a North Dakota Memorial Day Tradition  ?
I learned a lot about Kate while replacing our elderly neighbor's fence . Women can swear like real carpenters ! The last wind storm was too much for our 85 year old neighbor's fence . With Kate's strength & my talent , we replaced it today .
