Working out in the big field setting up the sheep for my friend for the outrun.

Gorgeous Ducks!
Yesterday at the farm I tried Gorgeous on ducks. It took awhile, but she finally got turned on at the end. Looks like I'm going to have another duck dog!
Today's Pup Portrait!
Handsome was more interested looking at the vultures than the camera... typical.

FAST USDAA Agility Trial
The pups and I had a great time at the agility trial that was held in the evening! Now that's my kind of trial with a bonus of cool weather. It was at the Rendon indoor arena in Burleson. Below is our loot from the night with a Gorgeous bye for Regionals and her video!

Today's Pup Portrait!
I love this photo of Miss Gorgie! It's the one shot out of 100's! Maybe it's not too bad lugging the BIG camera around for four miles if I can occasionally get shots like this!
My boy Handsome! He photographs beautifully with that blue eye... "when" he looks into the camera. I didn't have to beg too much for this shot.
Another Gorgeous shot!

Today's Pup Portrait!
Handsome's favorite thing to do while on our hike is chasing the vultures in the sky. He always has his eye up to the sky.

The Legend of the tabby "M"
This is the Legend of the tabby “M” on the forehead…
All of us have heard that first Christmas described as a silent night. However, one of God’s creatures knew otherwise. The cat hunted in the cold, starry night. He didn’t look much different from the other cats; he was gray in color with stripes the color of charcoal.
As he walked down the dark alleyway, he heard crying coming from a stable. He entered the door and saw a mother trying to comfort her newborn son. She spoke softly. “I don’t know what to do. I thought you were hungry, so I fed you. I thought you were wet, so I changed your diaper. I thought you were cold, so I wrapped another blanket around you.” She rocked the infant a few minutes longer and laid him back in a manger filled with hay. The baby continued to cry.
The cat knew what needed to be done. He leaped into the manger and curled up next to the child. In comforting tones, he began to purr. It was the sweetest lull-a-bye ever heard. The baby quieted and drifted off to sleep.
The woman gently stroked his fur. “Thank you. I don’t know where you came from, but thank you.”
God was looking down and witnessing the blessed events of His son’s birthday. Heard only by the cat, God spoke. “You have done a wonderful deed this night. Because you cared enough to help this woman, I will mark you and your offspring forever, so that people will know what you have done.
Her name is Mary, and from this day forward you will have the letter “M” on your forehead.”
So when you see a cat with the tabby pattern (no matter if it’s gray, brown, or some other color) look closely at it’s forehead and you will see the letter “M.” By this you will know that it is a descendant of the cat that comforted the newborn Christ on that first Christmas night.

My Glock 23 Gen4
Picked up my Glock 23 Gen4 .40 caliber today! I
also ordered the Lone Wolf conversion barrel to convert my .40 to a 9mm.
Soon I'll have the best of both worlds in one handgun!
I went to the gun range later and shot the sweet thing. It was so easy and smooth. I had no problem with the recoil... actually I really didn't notice. I believe I made the right decision on a handgun.
Now all I have to do is take the CHL class which is tomorrow. I already sent in my application to DPS and fingerprinting done!

Well at least Bumble doesn't scratch at the window for more attention! Now I know who my dogs get their window begging from!
