As a responsible citizen,
I am totally committed to being supportive, and COOPERATIVE with ALL
Constitutionally proper law
enforcement.
I also do my best NOT to allow my God Given
Rights to be trampled.
TO DATE, NO one HAS
BEEN paying me anything to do anything. I'm a 'ticked
off'
grandma from Kentucky.
It doesn't get ANY
more 'grassroots' than that. All my
projects HAVE BEEN
AND WILL CONTINUE
TO BE 100% PRIVATELY funded.
AS OF APRIL, 2015,
they have also
been about 99.9% PERSONALLY funded. Since
I am not actually 'rich',
I may end
up a bag
lady. I am doing what I am CALLED to
do, and using EVERY
inspiration, talent, and resource God has blessed
me with.
It all belongs to Him,
anyway.
Liberty Van and Freedom Van
are my Hosanna Afghan Hounds dog show mobiles.
The dogs are not a
'business', but a very expensive HOBBY. We have
finished,
or produced (so far) 28 AKC
Champions, and three AKC Grand Champions.
UNTIL
OCTOBER, 2014, I WAS DELIVERING DOGS ALL OVER USA FOR FREE.
TAKING
A DOG TO
FLORIDA, OR WASHINGTON STATE IS AS GOOD AN EXCUSE FOR A
ROAD
TRIP WITH
ONE OF THESE VANS AS ANYTHING. I WAS PAYING A
PROFESSIONAL
HANDLER
ABOUT 4-5 THOUSAND/MONTH TO FINISH THEIR CHAMPIONSHIPS FOR
THE
PAST 7
YEARS OR SO. Last year, we finished 6 Champions and a Grand
Champion. I QUIT
THAT IN
OCTOBER AS I HAVE NO MORE FUNDS FOR
IT. ALSO, I CAN NO
LONGER
DELIVER THEM FOR FREE. HOWEVER, IF
I DID GET HELP WITH EXPENSES
OF
RUNNING THE VANS, I would like
to RESUME FREE DELIVERY OF AFGHAN HOUNDS ALL
OVER THE LOWER 48 STATES, AND PEOPLE
WILL GET TO ENJOY SEEING THE
VANS
ON
THE ROAD AGAIN. ALSO, THOUGHT I WOULD GO BACK TO SHOWING THE DOGS
MYSELF AGAIN.
MY CHILDREN AND I FINISHED
OUR FIRST 3 CHAMPIONS
WITH NO
PROFESSIONAL
HELP, AND COST OF SHOWING
MYSELF IS SIMILAR TO
DINNER
AND
MOVIES. SINCE
HUBBY AND I DO NOT DO ANY OF
THAT, I COULD
AFFORD TO DO
IT,
BUT FOUND OUT IN NOVEMBER 2014 I NEED A NEW HIP.
I HAVE NO
RESOURCES
FOR THAT (THANKS TO
OBAMA'CARE' - WHICH I WILL NOT TOUCH WITH A 10
FOOT
POLE! I
believe stealing is WRONG - even IF my government
is
going to use their
police power to do
it for me!), SO I WILL
NOT BE ABLE TO SHOW
THEM MYSELF,
AS I CAN NO LONGER RUN AROUND
THE RING WITH THEM.
PERHAPS WE
WILL NEVER
FINISH ANOTHER
CHAMPION. HOWEVER, I HAVE A
HOUSE FULL OF
CHAMPIONS,
AND A FEW GRAND CHAMPIONS,
AND I CAN STILL SIT
BY A WHELPING BOX, SO DO EXPECT TO CONTINUE PRODUCING AN OCCASIONAL
LITTER FROM TIME
TO TIME. WOULD LOVE TO
HELP PEOPLE OUT BY
DELIVERING
THEM for FREE again, & KEEP
THE VANS ON THE ROAD - IF I
CAN AFFORD TO.
EVERYTHING WE GET FOR THESE DOGS GOES TO
PAY FOR THEIR UPKEEP, AND
THEN SOME. FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS,
I HAVE BEEN DEDICATED TO HELPING
TO PRESERVE THIS OLDEST AND MOST
BEAUTIFUL BREED. THE AFGHAN HOUND
IS ALSO ONE OF THE FEW NATURAL (NOT MAN
MADE) BREEDS. THEIR REGISTRATIONS
FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS HAVE BEEN WELL
BELOW 1,000/YEAR IN THE ENTIRE USA.
ALSO, LAST YEAR, THE REGISTRATIONS WERE
ONLY ABOUT 450. PEOPLE I'VE
TALKED TO WHO HAVE BEEN TO THEIR COUNTRY
OF ORIGIN TELL ME THEY
AREN'T DOING TOO WELL THERE RIGHT NOW,
EITHER. IT WOULD BE A SHAME,
AND AN UGLIER WORLD, IF THERE WERE NO
MORE AFGHAN HOUNDS IN IT.
This was 'Happy', Hosanna Amazing Peace, from our 3rd
litter in 1998. She's in most of our pedigrees now.
She was the mother of several of our Champions, and she has many Champion
(and some Grand Champion) grandkids.
I am the sole owner and
sole 'webslave' of www.hosanna1.com
(online since 1998),
www.aalf.ws , An
American who Loves Freedom (online since 2005),
Since there is only me, and
I'm on the road so much (OR BUSY WITH DOGS WHEN I'M
HOME), my older pages may be
out of date, and
may not work well with newer
hardware/software/browsers. Most of the older stuff
was done with
IE. I do not have
the resources to test
everything with everything, so to serve the priority of getting info
up, I am shifting to much
more simple methods, which SHOULD work with just about
anything. It may not be
as 'pretty' as I could do it,
but given my time
constraints, it's the best I can do.
Being on the road as much as
I have been would probably be impossible, but 29 years
ago God blessed me with the
most wonderful husband, John Farley. He's a 'home
body',
hates to go anywhere, but he
agrees with me about EVERY WORD I put on those vans,
and he supports my every
effort. He fixes my lights on the vans, and helps me with
technical support at
home. We met when we shared an office at IBM - he's an
engineer
(retired). He holds the
fort down here, caring for kids, grandkids, and of course the
dogs.
Some of the kids help me from
time to time with the vans, mostly with deconstruction,
when changing them from one
season to another. I ALWAYS PAID them for their
work,
they are
not slave
labor. My 6 kids range in age from 45-20, and they are ALL
AWESOME.
Michael, the youngest, became
a Marine on October 11, 2013. I AM EXPECTING BIRTH
OF MY 11TH GRANDCHILD ANY DAY NOW :
). My oldest son, and his family live
in S. Florida, so you may see one of these vans headed that way soon!
"Put on the whole armour
of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers,
against the rulers
of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able
to withstand in the evil day,
and having done
all, to stand." Ephesians
6:11-13
I have pledged my life,
my treasure, and my sacred honor to the service of God and my
country.
THIS IS MY
STAND.
