We have sun from about 10 - 4 ish right now, it will get worse until 12/21.. the sun isn't high in the sky either... (:< We are having a "cold snap" right now and its 7 above..but the last two days we have had wind and that is brutal..well below 0.. the dogs "peak" out the door and turn around to come back in.. we do not leave them out in their kennel runs when it's this cold, out to potty and in they come. We don't condition during the winter at all too much risk of injury on ice. They romp in the snow but really don't like to stay out when it's this cold. Fortunately we can condition each year for the National since we don't usually have snow until November..our winter shows are small all breeds indoors so no need for heavy conditioning....ugh, I can't wait to leave.....LOL Brenda Banister Crago www.midnightsunshepherds.com -----Original Message----- From: fairway97045@xxxxxxxxx To: midnitegsd@xxxxxxx; lazyp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx; arelee_1020@xxxxxxxxxxx Cc: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wed, 15 Nov 2006 3:02 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: OT vacuum's again Opps sorry about that. Do you guys have any sun this time of year?? It should be getting dark up there. I have a question for you. How do the folks in Alaska condition dogs in the winter?? In Oregon we swim them in the front yard or the backyard :0) Terry midnitegsd@xxxxxxx wrote: Terry, I'm north but not in Canada.. Alaska is still in the USA LOL... However, HSN sucked me in on one of those special value things, couldn't resist,... so bought it then.. Beryl, check HSN.com and see if they still have them! It really was a good buy and got lots of accessories with it!

I bought a Dyson at Costco in Oregon and it was over 400.00 I really do like the way it works. Or you can keep using the Kirby for uppper body strength :0) Are you still swimming?? Terry midnitegsd@xxxxxxx wrote: We got the aqua and purple Dyson. I think it was $350 or so.. We love it. Amazing cleaning power. We've had ours for about 6 months now and really really like it ~ no problems.. It works on both tile and carpet just great.

We have 2 of the dogs inside and we were going through cheap vacuums every 6 months. I tried my mother-in-law's Rainbow vac and hated it. So we bought the purple Dyson. I have had it 3-4 years and havehad no problems with it whatsoever. The only thing you have to do occasionally is clean out the brush where things wrap around and clean out the filter. If there isn't much suction -you know the filter is dirty. I am completely satisfied with mine! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Beryl Eshom" To: Sent: Wed, 15 Nov 2006 10:13:45 -0800 Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: OT vacuum's again I know in the past the many on the list have praised the Dyson Vacuum. I have a Kirby, which needs a belt (don't they always?). I phoned the local vac store and was told they also do tune-ups on most vacuums, except the Dyson. I asked why, as I have considered getting one. I had been wondering if they were as heavy to push around as my Kirby. He didn't answer that question, but told me Dyson parts are hard to get, so they will no longer service them. That made we wonder if they need service often, or if certain things on the Dyson's are common problems. Inquiring mind want to know! Anyone have an input? Meanwhile I found a quick fix for dog hair on the carpet. I have a big rake that has a large fan shaped plastic rake tooth thing. I raked my carpet and it looks great. Of course that wouldn't bring up the dust etc from underneath. It sure was a good temporary and quick fix. LOL Beryl Eshom.......who often wishes all her floors were either wood or tile!
