Dahl Family Blog

This blog is intended to record the ongoing history of the Dahl family. I want to make it a Team Blog, in which anyone in the family can post information as well as commenting on stuff that others post. You should get an invitation to join the team soon; if you don't, let me know. Contact me by e-mail for any questions or problems.

Andrew and Mary

Just to keep you upto date with our doings, at the moment Mary is looking at being given a redundancy at work in the next few weeks. We are happy about this as it will allow her to go into the massage business, starting with some work for wages and some time spent building her own business. Over time we hope that this will transition in to her doing all her own business.

To keep a steady income going while Mary is building her business, I have expressed interest in working at the Deployable Joint Force Headquarters - Land (DJFHQ), also know as HQ 1st Division. This job is in the J5 cell looking at Information Operations and intergrating this with Int, Ops and Plans. This job if I get it will be until the end of this year, and may be on Army Reserve days or Full Time Salary.

Farm life keeps ticking over. We got No 13 back from the back paddock last week, and he is now with the rest of the herd. The tractor has been down due to overheating, but is now fixed, and we have about 10 days of slashing to catch up on in our spair time.

Maybe if No. 13 was in the freezer you'd know where he was from day to day.

Perhaps thats why he left in the first place...because he knew what his fate would be.......

Cooper enters his second dog show tomorrow, the handler me. So wish us luck as we fumble through a rather awkward showing style, and hope the judge we have on the day looks at us with a favorable eye.
Interesting to note; The way to win on the show circuit is to only show your dog when the judging is conducted by someone who likes your dog.
There are those out there who keep a log of what judge scored them highly, which particular judge completely ignored them, and most imortantly, the judge who scowels at them.
I find it all very strange, "Why am I doing this you ask?"
Well its all a part of Coopers training to eventually be entered into obedience and retrieval trialing, so its more socialization than anything.

Will post some pictures after the day and maybe with a ribbon. :)
