The Blackmon's
Welcome
Hi, I'm Lanie and my husband is Ron. We are the cute couple on the right, cheek to cheek. We have been married now for over 10 years and live on 20 acres in California nestled in a canyon which is surrounded by mountains. Truly a wonderful place to live and also a great place to raise our 4 Golden Retrievers and Potbelly Pig. We are very blessed.

Our Furkids
Awwww, My furbabies. I love my Goldens so much and they are the kids I never had or wanted. They keep me on my toes thats for sure and I don't know what life would be like without them in it.
I also have a section for my favorite Golden, my Brandi Girl. Brandi passed away June 12th 2006 from Lymphoma Cancer. I miss her so dam much and I wish Brandi was still here. She was my best friend and I was very close to her out of all of them. It was just Brandi, Ally & Ginger* at first. After Brandi passed, well, Brandi came to me and lead me to Rootbeer and Mandi. They are brother & sister and I adopted them at the Shelter.
*Ginger passed away on June 18, 2008. She was 11 years old and we had to put her down. She lived a very happy, and loving life with us and we miss her alot.*
Then there's Chance my potbelly piggy. I rescued him from his death from across the road at our neighbors house. Chance has been with us sinc 2004 and is very happy and very spoiled too.
Our home- before-and then-after
Do you want to see what two determined people (Ron & I) can do ??? When we bought this 20 acres for $75,000.00 in 2001, it also had a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom mobile home which hadn't been lived in for over 2 years and it was a mess. A mess is a mild word for it really. So there is photos of what we did to the property, what we knocked down and put up and replace. We bought our new home in 2004, lived in a little travel trailer while it was being put on our property and the trees we knocked down and finally our latest project which we just completed, is our pond in the front yard and our beautiful grass we finally had put in. It was dusty dirt for over 5 years and oh my, I love my grass and pond. Ron did a awesome job, and I helped a little too!!!
