The girls, Cheyanne & Sioux, were good at the vet today. Chey's foot has a small surface tumor on it that needs to come off before it gets too cold. It would have a tendancy to get frostbite if it's not removed. She also needs to have her teeth cleaned... they look cruddy and are starting to cause problems with her gums. Sioux has small tumors on her eye lids that need to be removed! These girls turned 9 years old this month (they are sisters). I hope they aren't starting to fall apart!! They are the leaders in Tom's team for this year!! :o)
We have a load of black sand in the back of the truck to take to the property tomorrow... Tom isn't very happy with me for getting that instead of just pit run gravel. He doesn't think the black sand will work as well.... we have a big load of it so it's gonna have to be good enough for this run. I offered to take it out of the truck in our driveway and go get more pit run, but he said not to bother... we would just use the black sand.
There has been some new action on the road improvements on Benn Lane. There is a guy that is looking to build a subdivision down at the end of Benn Lane. It shouldn't cut off our access to the winter trails, but it could definately cause problems is folks move in there and have loose dogs or other animals in the area when we are trying to run by there as the trail we generally run on will go right by the new houses. We definately have to look to move in the next year or so!! I am so not wanting to live in this area with all of the continued growth. We have so much more traffic on the road now and I am afraid the trails are gonna get more use to. We really need to look at moving up to the property next summer. The question is... do we sell our house with the 10 acres or just look to rent it for now. Either way, we will need to do some work on it to get it in shape for either avenue. The thought of selling it and getting out from under the mortgage, taxes, insurance, and all of that stuff is a nice thought. But, if we rent it for a monthly rent that will cover all of that and then some we could hold on to it and have it as investment property in our later years... and maybe even have it to move back into down the road when we are old and feable and looking to just live here and not run a dog team around here... Hmmmmm ... got some heavy thinking to do!
Well, I need to go get some more things done this lovely Saturday afternoon.... like splitting & piling some wood and cleaning pens ... while it's not raining!!
