| I've always wanted to live on a farm. That and showing dogs were my lifelong dreams. Now I'm finally getting to do both. It started out with getting JJ. Our first show dog, but not my first Aussie. I got my first Australian Shepherd 30 years ago, before they got popular. I got bit by the dog show bug, and couldn't stop. Then we got Belle, soon to be followed by Dover, (Australian Cattle Dog). Then we decided 1/2 acre wasn't enough room for 3 herding dogs, so we bought them a farm. That put an end to my construction career. You can only fit so many animals in a travel trailer. I sometimes think we have a petting zoo instead. photos are clickable |

Camping in the mud at Texas Motor Speedway. Were we desperate to see a race or what? As soon as we
got pulled out, we went home, got cleaned up, and headed back to see the postponed race the next day.

Danny always wanted to race. Well at least he got to drive a few laps. I on the other hand do no like to go fast, and
was terrified. I'll ride again any day.
