My dog Sadie is a mixed mutt, she is border Callie, Australian Shepperd. We got her free from a girl my mom works with, she was so little and cute. Sadie was not the first puppy we brought home though there was a little male puppy we got first. He was all white but we found out soon he couldn't hear so he would not make it as a farm dog! so we had to take him back which was very hard cuz we were already attached to jack. it all turned out good int he end cuz Sadie is such a great dog, she gives lots of kisses and is very protective of my brother and i.
Sadie has some bad habits though, she loves shoes and there laces. she will chew right down the middle of them so there is no way you can some how fix them. Then she will also chew the back of your shoes clean off so you can keep them on. We also have 2 kittens in are shop and she is there mom per say, she cleans them and make sure they don't get in to trouble. Charlie the one kitten is her favorite she will lick him from head to toe till he is dripping wet. she doesn't mean to hurt him she just loves him!
Sadie is the smartest dog i have ever seen, she is the type of dig that when you talk to her she turns her head to the side like to say what you talking about. She loves to chace mice at the farm and she is a great watch dog. When people come to the farm and hear her bark be for the see her they think we have a great Dane of something, but then little knee high Sadie comes running out it gets them every time. She loves to go for car rides also, she has to sit on the front seat with the window down so she can stick her head out. You cant go to fast thou cuz then she starts to sneeze and blow snot ever where. i would not trade her for the world.

baby shower
So my family and i went to Milwaukee for my cousin in law's baby shower. We left Sparta at 9 in the morning Saturday and was off for the 3 hour drive! My sister in law was driving so the time went by fast. I had to bring my blanket and pillow with so i could get some ZZZ on the way down there. when we got to lake mills it started to snow not much but just enough to say why is it snowing in October?? other then that the weather was good just cold. so we got to my aunt and uncles at about 11:45 and we didn't need to be at the shower till 12:45 so we unpacked all are things sat and talk at little bit and then it was off to the shower. it was so nice seeing everyone again, it had been a little over a year in a half since we say everyone, so there was a lot of talking and hugs going around.
There was a lot of great food and drink there before the shower, but after all the 50 people showed up they went pretty quit! Yes i did was 50 people to a baby shower i know its crazy right, but Katie(the baby momma lol) has a huge family and there was some of her friends from work there also. so finally the show is on the road she got allot of cool gifts for her baby boy! Her colors for the babies room was blue and brown so she got allot of the gift to match those colors. This baby is going to be a walking chick magnet with his cute little clothes and brewers hat and packers jerseys! i wish i was this decked out when i was a baby!
After the shower my sister in law and i went to visit my cousin's new apartment on the south side of Milwaukee. It is an amazing 1 bedroom flat with a huge living room and dinning room. There are 3 college age girls that live above her that get a little load sometimes but other then that the place is amazing. She also had off street parking and a rap around porch that is amazing to sit out on and take in the cool air.
There is a great little pizza place called zaffero's. there pizza's only come in two sizes BIG and HUGE, but are they good. they also have salad's as big as you head there and they dressing is sweet but tanie at the same time. When we got to this place there were 10 of us trying to get a table, we got there at 8:30 and didn't sit down to eat till 10:30 i was so hungry i could eat a horse! All in all when it was all done is was a great weekend with my family.

Do you know where your food comes from?
How many of you really know where your food comes from? I mean more then just going to the grocery store and picking it off the shelf? i didn't think so, all you guys have to do is go to the grocery store and pick it off the shelf and its yours. What if you wake up one day and there is no food on those shelves or you have to stand in line for your food how would you like that, well appreciate the farmer that makes that more possible for you and that wont happen.
It was kinda of up setting the other day when a lady from class was complaining about how much her hamburger cost in the store and was blaming the farmer! I said hey back up here and think about what are saying and blaming, trying growing your own food then. everyone blames us when the price of food goes up in the grosery stores, but no one looks for the middle man. the middle man is make all the profit he steels the food from us and charges the consumer of th butt for it! I HATE IT!
with the beef you eat, we buy that animal at 500 pounds for $1.05 per pound feed it and care for that animal such as shots if it gets sick, dewormer, and other products to keep that animal health for your consumstion. Then we sell that animal at 1350 for about 80 cents per pound we dont even break even let alone make a profit. so what you as a people need to realise is that the "middle man" makes all the money, so you grosery stores, or you locker plants they make the money they rip you off ! not the farmer.
