Over an 1 1/2 inches of rain noted in the rain gauge with at least 8 inches of wet slushy snow on the ground..makes for a quagmire in the corrals
to trudge through at chores the last few days. The sun is shining with hints of green showing through the bare spots as the snow melts.
Flooring for part of the basement at the building to be complete today...so will be able to call back the plumber to finish up his work.
Need to haul more agility equipment in and set up different course elements that will work in a small space.
Everyone having forward progress with their dogs in both Obedience and Agility with people signing up for the next set of classes.
As soon as the lambs get abit of age on them I can start working the dogs again. Will use Quade to dog the flock since the ewes will want to face off and challenge any dogs at this 'new mom' stage. He'll stand up to any ewe challenging him and gives her time to think and turn before he comes in for a face grip. Gentle with the lambs, who may get a nose nudge to bump them along.
Dogs are so good about reading / accomodating a puppy license on a pup...a good stockdog also 'reads' other species young offspring as babies and act appropriate with them. Interesting stuff to observe in animals....
