Blessed Thanksgiving to you all!!!

Had a wonderful dinner at the Browns today - the rest of the day was spent getting ready to go down to our home in lower Michigan to take the puppies down to Dee for the rest of the season - after we had them dig out of their pen and then had to tie them up we figured now was a good time to do it - the big dogs need a bit of a break - we had gotten up to 20+ miles but were beginning to see some sore feet from the ground being frozen so it seemed like a good time to have a break - 2 days off will give everyone a time to rest up!!!!

The weather has been cool enough to train but we have still had to train only one team a day because we are limited as to how long we can be in the woods (11 to 2) and it takes us about two hours to train one team.  A little bit of snow until today when it was 41 degrees and it all melted - this week it should snow for us on Wednesday and Thursday so maybe we will have enough for our grandkids to run on the sled with a dog when they come up to see us next weekend - Luke and Erica and the kids are coming Thursday and it will be the first time half of that family has seen us train dogs - going to take in some of the local attractions like Tahquamenon Falls and just spend some time together!!!

Not much else going on around here except that I still have the "monster mouse" sneaking around the house trying to scare me!!!  The other nite I heard it in the bedroom and stood up on the bed and woke Randy up when I turned the light on and , yup, I saw it twice till it ran out into the living room!!!!  We keep finding the mouse poison blocks in our shoes so we know it is still around!!!!  I even set up the supposedly best trap.............a bucket of water with a round rod across the top, with a tin can open on both ends so that you put peanut butter on the can and when the critter steps onto the can to eat the peanut butter, the can rolls, and the critter drops into the bucket!!!!!  It's been 24 hours and it still is moving poison blocks around into shoes and boots!!!!!
