Day at the Ranch

On 26 Dec, Josh, Sadie, Perry and I went to Josh's paternal side Christmas get-together outside of Goliad, Texas. It was the first time for Sadie and Perry to visit a ranch - or any type of unconstrained environment that was not a home or dog park - and they had a lot of fun!





The dogs met Ellie Mae, Josh's grandparents' dog, and herded cows for the first time. Sadie is a purebred Pembroke Welsh Corgi, and Perry is partially a German Shepherd, and the herding instinct came out - it was definitely more obvious in Perry than it was in Sadie, and that was surprising.



The dogs also had their first ride in a truck and met many new people.





That evening, the Schneider family got together to exchange gifts. There were some interesting presents!







I'm thankful for... a family - made much larger with our marriage!

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 (New International Version)

9 Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their work:

10 If one falls down,
his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls
and has no one to help him up!

11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?

12 Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
