~Some Happenings~

Yesterday, we all went up to St. Cloud to visit the newlyweds! We brought pizza and had that for lunch and then went shopping with Kelli. It's weird for me to say I have a "brother", since I've never had one before. But, I think I shall enjoy it.

We had a rather scary surprise when we got home yesterday. We had left home about 9 am and didn't get home until 4:30 or so. When we were coming down our drive way, Kristina said she thought my horse, Celtie, was eating over the fence. Kristina's horse has a bad habit of pushing the fence down so he can get the grass on the other side of the fence. I guess the sang is true to a horse "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence." :o) So, we drive down there and Celtie is out of the fence! We were hoping that Dakota didn't also find a way of escape, because a horse on the loose is not a fun thing to run after! Thankfully, Celtie had had enough of being out, so she was very easy to catch, and Dakota had not found the escape route out. Celtie had found a hole in the mesh fencing and squeezed through it. (How she did it I have no idea!) Thankfully, she didn't have any cuts. But, as we were doing chores, she was laying down in the barn and was breathing kinda funny. When we searched the surrounding area, where she had gotten out, it looked like she had gotten into some moldy hay that we had thrown out. My first thought was" Great! She has colic!" So, I got her up and started walking her up and down the
driveway. When I was going down the driveway, she wanted to eat grass. If she had colic, she would not want to eat anything. So, that was a good indicator that she didn't have colic, just a belly ache. She probably had to much to eat when she had her taste of "freedom"! We had to fix the fence last night before the sun set, so we only had about 2 hours. We got it done just as the sun sank below the horizon.

We should be expecting puppies around Christmas! I'm so excited! Wouldn't that be a lovely gift!?! If you want to see pictures from our last litters, you can go to our website here: www.autumnacreslabradors.com.

I hope today is not as eventful!
