Thanks wildrange, It's always been a lot of work but it's all worth it to me, I have OCD so keeping things clean and orderly is just what I do both in my professional life and in my my personal.

lmao, the pictures I posted was the first time the snow had melted around here and when I seen how jacked up my lawn is before my kennels, I about had an attack,
Lost many relationships and friends due to my commitment to these dogs, been raided, hated and debated for a decade and a half but here I am, still waist deep in em and I always will be until I am unable to handle them anymore, then, the reigns will be passed down to my offspring. My son has been groomed in these dogs his whole life he's 15 my daughter too shes 8, however if they chose not to pick it up and keep going with what I've started then I feel the same way as W. Komosinski (sp?)
when I die I'd rather they were put down with me since no one will take care of them like I do .....
