We have a new addition in our house, a 7.5 inch red ear slider turtle who is living in our bathtub at the moment. Archimedes, as I named him, is quite the inquisitive turtle and doesn't shy away from the dogs wanting to sniff him. In fact Moxie was startled enough at his quick moment towards her that she barked and ran the opposite direction. We are planning a water garden for him outside once the weather is nice enough.
Moxie and Kyan have been well, and we all have had a needed rest from the show circuit. Kyan has 7 points towards him AKC Championship, so we will be looking to start putting his majors on in soon. Norman has built Moxie her weave polls out of PVC piping, very nice and we don't need to worry about leaving them out in the elements.
I have found myself my own personal hunter for the deer meat that I like to feed the dogs, and it is a win-win situation, he gets to do something that he enjoys and I get to feed my dogs.
