Kahner with his new Great Dane (Arnie)

Kahner loves his new puppy, Arnie. Kahner lost both his old Great Danes this Fall and last Summer. Cletus was 9 years old. Marley was 7 year old.

Alligators in the back yard!

Since Hurricane Ike, we have had lots of alligators on the bank behind the house. Champion Lake had serge water in it. That means that Salty water is in the fresh water. The Refuge officers call it "Black Water". It is not good for the wildlike but kills the bad weed in the lake. We are lucky the lake was dry so the serge did not come up the bank.

I rode to Plano with Debbie and we had a terrific time. It nice to share with someone on such a long drive. I planned to go to Tulsa to the bird show but my allergies and my body was tired. I am going to Temple.

Lone Star Canary Club puts on a good show. Cindy Crow and I tried to sale a few little birds. Cindy sold enough to pay for her side of the table but I sold no timbrados. Neither did Debbie. I believe that we are being black listed by the other women club members. I'm sorry that sort of thing goes on. Cindy and I had a great time sitting there talking and laughing. Debbie had to work the show area and was having a really hard time trying to keep the judge straight and the stewards kept leaving her to do it all. By the end of the day our birds had no water but a few ribbons.

I don't think I will try and sale birds there next year. If we even go next year? Have a good week!

Bird Shows

I'm currently getting ready to go to Bird Shows. I love the birds. Especially the canaries. The Canary and Finch Society was suppose to host their 13th show this weekend. We worked hard (canary board) to get the show as for as we did but Hurricane Ike shut the hotel down until repairs are done. I'm planning on going to Lone Star Canary Show, Tulsa, Temple, and National.

I hope everything works out Okay. The weather is so nice and the temperature is a relief from the hot and humid days we have had this summer. Please keep Bill and Mary in your prayers. They are still out of their home and so is Charlene Saunders. I don't know if Bill and Mary will go back after their house is fixed. It is such a shame that people have gone through such horrific changes. Over and out......
