Dog of the Month ~ Spice

Spice

This is eager-to-please Spice! She is one of several hunting dogs we work with and that Robert uses to guide quail hunts. 

She's a springer spaniel born in the UK in 2003 and is still one of the best hunters even though she's up in years. Obedience is one of Spice's hallmarks of her personality, making her one of the most exercised dogs come hunting season. 

Here she is with a fresh haircut and waiting for approval for retrieving a tennis ball - a favorite pastime.  

Five Generations and a Rainbow

A rare occasion occurred here last weekend! We had gathered here FIVE generations with Great-Great Grandaddy Cooper, Great Grandpa Charlie Cooper (GGPCC), me, Landon, and Chelsea. :) 

Yesterday, I saw an entire rainbow - something that also rarely happens - so I stopped to savor the moment and remembered God's word, knowing God is in control of everything from generation to generation. I thank God for our generations of longevity, but mostly for love and the promises of God to those who walk in His love like those in my family.
