Picking up points ( out of coat ) as well
1 - 2nd place ( 99 ) and
3 - 1st place with perfect 100 scores in Rally for her Rally Novice.
Made it worth the trek up across the border with her and rest of the crew.

The Hooligan Gang
Well they havent heard the vacuum cleaner a whole heck of alot lately...Tractors to Harleys, yes.
Certainly have heard chain saws, hedge trimmers and lawn mowers going the past while as we get caught up
on yard projects. They've met all the adults here, taking turns playing and interacting as we take them for
walks around the farm. Have found the odd burr patch in the areas the sheep need to clean up....ongoing problem
when a person brings in hay bales from areas not on some kind of weed control ( as well bird population )
Trying to get out the door with 9 pups is like a 3 ring circus as they take off with your second boot or your houseshoes.
Dot is usually leading with the "Hooligan gang' in hot pursuit of her 'hocked item'. They're managing steps and have their favorite shade areas in the yard.
The youngsters Sheba and Reba ( original hey? :) great babysitters and play mates for the puppys as they try and entice them into games of chase with toys or ropes in their mouths.
The Hooligans have dug a hole under their wooden dog house in their day run...better than any tree fort for a kid to them. They've had several baths and truck rides in their crates. Vet / Eye day coming up quickly...packing the truck for the trip as will be gone for the entire day.
Still sorting pups to homes. Have a couple that would do well in Performance homes.

Starting to sort out a few pups to their new homes
Which will likely strike a little moment of panic in the other homes that are waiting for 'their' pup :)
Not sure how the domino affect will go but some of it will hinge on some people 's decisions.
One active red female available still to a home that will channel her energy into constructive training.
She truely is a sweet pup in all other ways. Face kisser, problem solver...a confident pup that is extremely
agile...already doing 360s'.

Breeze or ?
Heading to a young ladies home not far from home. Super for me as I'll get to see her
easily.

Dot...
...aka Dragon Slayer.
For one small and mighty tomboy ....she is 'all aussie'. Love her attitude and confidence.
Available to a dog smart home, would do well as a competition performance dog.
Very correct in a moderate package with 'no fear' stamped on it.
Ended up taking with me doing chores and to the sheep pasture, we ended up with a couple

Ended up taking with me doing chores and to the sheep pasture, we ended up with a couple
snaps of her.
Note to self to put up my sheep fence and move sheep to the other side and clean up grass around the farm
when I get back from herding camp.
The blue girls
Will be running on these two girls for awhile and make a decision whenrest of litter sorted out. One will be available to the right home.

The boys just over 5 wks of age
Bathed / blow dried and first trip into town / in a crate. Too hard to take pictures of them ripping around in my
training building so ended up taking their crate and parking it by a field fence pointed away from me ( since they
are typically right on my heels ...following ) so managed to get a few of photos of them with my zoom until Garth
discovered me...then had to pin him under my arm to take a few more pictures ...before I had puppies on top of me.
The girls hopefully tomorrow. Need to get garden picked and processed as well.
Family reunion and herding camp coming up!

shade of my vine on the back side of the house.

July...
Poof..it's gone.
Not sure where it went but disappeared like a quick flash. ( why cant a winter month go by this fast )
Haying season continues, not that we have lots of land..it's the time thing...squeezing it in on available day light hours when we both work off the farm....AND working around wet mornings as well rain. Bales with too much moisture heat up and end result is a moldy bale....or worse yet catch fire. More than one farmer has pulled bale stacks apart when they see or smell things heating up. All the hawks in the area have set up shop in the fields, now that the grass is short. Wish I had my camera with me at times as a person can get really close before they fly off to the next round bale....waiting for their next meal to try and scoot by.
Husband off for next 3 days which really means 'no days off' to catch up on 'my stuff'. All the bales need hauling in to the bale yard here. Machinery needs more repairs ( ongoing with old equipment ) Yard work and garden work is everyday. Rasberries and peas getting picked most evenings. Beans need processing this wk.
I need to get a few extra meals made and in the freezer as I'm gone in a few wks to sheep camp. Have camping to pack for, along with what I need to for all the dogs and Herding Trial.
Pups growing well. Pictures later this wk.
