I visited the Port Huron Farmers' Market this weekend: - word of caution: don't go when you're hungry. I bought zucchini, yellow summer squash, a great cabbage, the first buttercup squash of the season (the way too short season), some still wonderful green beans, etc. Port Huron is right across the river from Sarnia, Canada.
Clicking on photos will enlarge them.
Here are some recent photos of my Icelandic Sheepdogs, four footed furry family.
I recently had a very expensive lesson on trust. I contacted N. W. a handler to show two of my dogs, Tryggur and Kit. Things went good - at first. He was recommended by two friends, A. K. handled Totty to her American Kennel Club Grand Championship and J.B. knew and had worked with N.W. Then something happened and things went south quickly.
I paid the entry fees for shows.
His statements listed all the things he would do which included fees for handling, boarding, maintaining his vehicle, camping hookups (including electric, parking, dumping), , conformation class fees, bait, grooming, etc. I pre-paid for all expenses.
He visited a doctor and was told his heart problems might be stress related. N. told me that he would honor current commitments but he would not make any new ones telling me that his doctor had said that he shouldn't drive. That would not be a problem because, he said, his wife and/or mother would take over that responsibility. And, if necessary, he would find another handler for the two upcoming weekends of shows.
Ten shows were missed. He and the dogs didn't go; I was very worried about his continued health problems.
Colleen helped find Kristine who picked up Tryggur and Kit. I met her to get my fur kids back.
I hoped that I would be refunded most of my money for services and fees and for the ten missed shows. I wasn't. There's more to the story. Much more. I have tried to contact N.W. - unsuccessfully.
