San Francisco and my left toe

It's amazing how one's life can change in a moment. Recently I was on my deck chair at the ranch, then I was at the vet and when I woke up in a cage I was missing my middle toe on my left back foot. The next thing I know I am in the car and I am taking the longest drive ever and I ended up in this very busy place with no dirt.

The first day I was kind of sick, my foot felt weird and I was in a strange place except that my mom and dad were with me, so I felt safe.

Even though I've never been on a leash before I liked staying very close to my mom and dad while we walked down some very busy streets. I did not want to get lost.

We are in full harvest mode!

This is my fourth harvest!

Miguel supervises the picking crew

This is our Petite Sirah that we planted in 2010 and we are picking it today. It is our first pick and we will probably only get 1 barrel!

It's that time of year again

This is my 4th harvest and I can't wait till more grapes come in, I know it will be soon because the weather is warm and the grapes are ripening quickly.

Genuwine at Four Months Old

Jim is training Genuwine by picking up his front and back feet and then moving him with his body. Genuwine responds quite readily even though Jim hasn't worked with him on a consistent basis. Genuwine had lots of handling during his first week of life both at the ranch and at UC Davis Vet Hospital and so he is very comfortable with human interaction and isn't fearful or resistant.
