Roscoe The Sled Dog At Briden Farm

Roscoe The Sled Dog

Roscoe the Sled Dog, he’s my buddy, and he seldom leaves my side! Unless I ask him to! We recently had a big snow storm, dumped about a foot of snow on us over night! Not surprising really, it’s that time of year and that amount is possible in just a few hours! Anyway, the next morning our neighbour faithfully come to plow us out! We’re so thankful for all He does!

Unfortunately, following that, He had things happen that make it so he hasn’t, and won’t, be able to do our plowing! At least for awhile! So, now we’re snowed in, with another big storm scheduled to hit here tomorrow! 

Just to make things a little harder, or more interesting perhaps, my better half was also taken out by ambulance the next night! Did I mention we’re snowed in! So, the ambulance could only make it quarter way up our quarter mile, slanted, inclined, Laneway! (Fun Fun). 

So, now, that leaves me here! Alone to run the Farm! 

it’s not all that bad, but till I get things caught up, it’s a bit hectic. Especially trying to respond to all the well meaning people who keep asking how we’re doing! We love Ya for it, but it all takes time! Anyway… 

I still found time to fit in a little fun! 

Fun, yes, but it did mean my taking the toboggan down our quarter mile Laneway… rode it down actually! Then, our friend Gary took me to the Feed Store! I got four bags of feed, each weighing 25kg and then loaded it on the Toboggan and hauled it back up the hill! 

Once I got to the top of the Laneway, and turned the corner, I left the toboggan and all there for a few minutes and went in to get Roscoe and the Harness. I him harnessed up and we brought everything up to the house.

Where, after I unloaded it after Roscoe the Sled Dog and and Holly The Snow Dog had their treats, and I had a cup of tea! Of Course!

Holly The Snow Dog

Holly The Snow Dog coming to Briden Farm TV at tv.bridenfarm.com

Holly, our Golden Retriever/ Nova Scotia Toller (Aka: Little River Duck Dog), absolutely loves the snow!

Part of the Breeds ancestry is Red Fox, and if You’ve ever seen a Red Fox playing in the snow You’ll understand!


They Love It!

We’ve had so many laughs watching Holly, playing with Her, throwing Snow for Her, and watching her attack the snow we clear from the roof of our decrepit old carport, that we just know You’re going to love Holly The Snow Dog!

The only thing better than watching tv.bridenfarm.com is visiting Briden Farm in person!

Website Hosting

When we first started building Websites, we went with an Ontario based website host, a company who keep a large resource computer online that makes it possible for websites to show up on the World Wide Web. Over the years they’ve provided us incredible Hosting Online Conferencing, and the Tools and Support needed to become successful. They even provide training at no extra cost! In 2007, Joel Therien moved the Company to San Antonio, Texas because they have the Internet Fiber and Infrastructure necessary to expand and grow World Wide and continue to provide the website hosting, tools, online tools, and support they’d become known for! It all went very well, until…

This past week Texas, Southern Texas was hit with the worst storm they’ve had in over 50 Years! The whole place was brought to a standstill, streets were covered in ice, and the whole thing came crashing down! San Antonio has no contingency plan, no snow equipment, and no way to deal with any of this other than simply to tell people to stay home and wait for it to melt! After all, Southern Texas doesn’t get snow, or ice, right!?

The good news is, it’s only taken about three days to get our Sites back online, and through it all Joel Therien and GVO have done everything possible to keep us updated, getting us backed up, and and back up, as quickly as possible! Now that’s a Web Host You can Count on! 

If You happen to need a great Webhost, at Briden Farm we depend on GVO
