Will be away for awhile...
Being away for a 2 day workshop in the city and having an ill family member will keep me
busy catching up to emails / phone calls for a length of time. Chipping away at them.

Quiet house...
On the road yesterday and then back on the road tomorrow for a few days.
Dot and Dixie left yesterday for the long flights to their new homes.
House is certainly quiet with only 2 pups.
Tide leaves in a few wks when his folks get back from vacation.
In the process of getting a 'mountain' of paperwork / health checks etc for 2 adults and
their international trek overseas. Know the girls are going to good homes and will be contributingto a smaller gene pool than we have here...but still get teary about parting with them.

A few ramblings....
Garden is overdue in processing with the corn and all the tomato plants my husband brought home are heavy with fruit...I'm the only one that eats tomatos so will be giving what I can away. Weather changing with good hints fall is here. Covering some plants at night just incase. Tree's turning colors.
Have several family photo sessions to do before it turns cold. As well a Grad fall request.
Calves get weaned tomorrow and general yard catch up. Then back to work for another long stretch.
Today will be packing up & setting up 2 display booths 'after' I finish unpacking my truck to make room...for tonights EEOC evening ( community night )

Two puppies booked for flights out on the 20th and then back to the city a couple days later for a
Maternity & Newborn Photo Workshop in Edmonton area.
Fall Dog Classes start the wk after.
Still have sheep fencing to put away and grass to cut in the bale yard. Havent had a chance to do any training on sheep. The calves will give
Quade chore work from here on until spring and they are back out to pasture.

Trial Results
Very tired but pleased with the two girls at Herding camp, followed up by the one day trials.
Sting earned her JHDs and CKC HT ( similar to ASCA started for skill set )
Fly earned one leg towards her JHDs title....naughty girl on her first run we managed to settle
down to earn her 1st leg and then CKC HT title. So we've finally kick started their herding careers and hopefully
'stella' will keep up with her training groove.
Huge Thanks to Jackie and Camryn for keeping the pups and spending so much quality time with them.
Loved the pictures you took!
Will take me a wk to catch up on emails and phone calls / unpack etc
