We live on 10 acres in the country, just outside Barrie Ontario.  Our property has lots of forest and a creek.   Being springers it is hard to have a total day without someone coming in wet.   Our dogs are our children now, as my partner and I have older children, the youngest is 15, the oldest 22.  They are busy with their own lives and we run a home based business from our farm.  Our dogs are some what spoiled always having someone to do their bidding!  We love it though.
