Grandkids :)



Have been away for a week playing in mud ( herding clinic and trial ) ...am back ( kinda ) havent been home...busy making trips down the road for one thing or another...and doing Photo shoots inbetween....sure wish the house fairy would show up and catch my laundry up ( including my dog bedding ) , cut the grass and finish up with returning phone calls.

Enjoyed supper with Michael & Loro and the grandkids...Cohen & Jade the other day.

Trial set up...

Due to distance spent almost the same amount of hours 'loading and on the road' as hours spent finishing the sheep arena as well building the Duck arena.
Ducks looked great. Didnt get time to work stock as had to leave to get home to do chores. ( everyone gone at my household ) The trial ASF of Alberta puts on
always has good stock in all areas as well the comradrie and food rate first class as well.
Have a couple of photo shoots this wk as well client dogs to groom...then it's packing up the truck for the better part of a wk away from home. Which means
I need to get caught up on grass in town as well both farms esp across the road with the neighbors having a Family Memorial service.
Dog classes end tonight and a new set / new dates need to be advertised soon. Have a few catch up lessons ( with people that missed a session ) and a private lesson to arrange.
Of course when you send you entries away, then the negative thoughts come to play....and a person second quesses if they can get their dogs ready enough.
Have 3 head left at home and the dogs really need to watch heads on the small group vs the larger flock...good practise for them.

Snowed yesterday

... after freezing several times past wk or so. My garden is sporting blankets scattered all over hoping to save plants like tomatoes and cukes.

Back to work on night shift and doing physio to strengthen ankles, sure can feel where I've lost my 'sensors' when working the dogs...pretty easy to roll either one on uneven ground...esp with a flock of sheep pushing on you with green dogs. Sent my entries away as trial filling quickly...ended up grabbing the last 2 runs and on the waiting list for sheep. Havent had ducks here for a few years so none of the crew have had time on them.

June is Grad month so have a few photo shoots with outside locations. Baby photo shoot coming up in a few days.
Set up a Smug Mug acct so will be adding Galleries when time permits.

Picked up my new Agility Teeter and a few standard jumps yesterday. Today Jackie is slipping down from Lloyd to help load sheep and duck arena and traveling to Donalda to set up the arena's for the clinic / trials.

May be time to work a dog or two while there.
