Ok, Quick rundown of whats been going on around here. Easier to relay some of this via pics to save time and boring details. Last weekend had a nice visit from cousin Kelly and hubby Neil. They made a wise move coming up for the weekend and were rewarded with a couple of great days on the river. Rain last week got our fire danger back under control and hopefully if the forecast holds we will have some awesome weather coming up for recreatin outdoors.

Work, as usual this time of year, has been keeping me hopping. Trapping has been good......for badger anyway. Always adds to the excitement releasing these feisty little buggers. On top of running the line things at good old Borchers Canoe livery have begun to pick up. We are officially open for canoes and knocking off projects left and right getting the place all spruced up for the year.

Still sitting with 5 pups. This weekend Mio and Oscoda head to Canada to their new mushing homes. I hate to see them go as I have spent so much time with them and am super attached but Vince and Abby will provide great homes for them and keep me posted on their upbringing.

Great weekend currently. Ma and Pa Riley in town for Mother's day (happy day to all you moms out there). Pops cruised the line with me yesterday and enjoyed watching me dance around with three different badgers. Today put Dad to work helping install carpet and get the feed shed and coop wired for electric. Ma did her thing keeping us fed and on task. Sure was nice to see them both, especially my Mom on her special day.

Well that is about all I can remember for now. Thanks to everyone who has left me a message lately to see if I am still alive.....just busy that's all....

Later

Pups on the move.....

Afternoon Nap

Busy as normal around here, even for spring. Pups turned 8 weeks old Thursday and received their first shots. Michelle came and picked her pup up last night. She took Alcona, a vocal little blue eyed male. Today the second of the pups went to it's new home. A local guy named Mike and his family are going to give the pup I called McKinley a wonderful home. She took very quick ly to Mike the day he came to visit, and when she saw him today it seemed like she new he was going to be her new home.

Pretty tough seeing the pups go. Even though I told myself they are going to good homes, it does not make it any easier watching them leave. Two of the pups will be here another week or two before we make the journey to drop them off in Ontario. Then the final three I decided to keep here as our kennels future. I only planned on keeping two (Wakeley and Grayling) but that little Burton is such a nice pup, what will one more hurt?

Have a great weekend!
