Sadly, we lost one of our beloved working companions two weeks ago.  My sister and I have always had our dogs at our feet as we work on our furniture projects.  After 11.5 years, our faithful Aussie, Digby had to say goodbye.  It was with great emotion that we let him go.  He was so much a part of our daily work day.  But......we now have a new little boy to join Molly, our beautiful, gentle yellow lab.  She is so willing to have him join the crew, we are so proud of her.  We welcomed Caleb to the fold, a 10.5 month old Aussie boy that had to be given up by his previous owners because of financial and health problems.  We traveled 17 hours round trip to rescue him and give him his forever home.  He is quite the character, just take one look at him and you will understand why we all love him already...........

What an experience!  One that we will never forget for sure.  Driving the winding road up to Mohonk Mountain House was a breathtaking spectacle.  Every curve in the road brought us closer to the ice castle in the sky, the gem of the Hudson River Valley.  We were quite surprised to see what lie ahead of us, from the bottom of the mountain we saw ice glistening, but surely we were not ready for what finally awaited us!
