Little Brooke...




Well Mother's Day was spent in typical fashion...get caught up on yard work. The garden is worked so now it's just a matter of getting a few things in the ground. Usually potatoes , peas and corn get planted first with the rest following when it warms up a tad more.

Had a private lesson with a family who own a St.Bernard and young children. Leash pulling and mouthing the main issues. The kids caught on
right away with the lessons and made great strides with the basic's. Great temperament for a family companion ...just needed the criteria set
a little higher on what is expected. Family sent home with homework with return visit planned in a wk or so. Kids are interested in doing agility so
we'll see if one Saint can fold up and get through a tunnel on next visit.

Little Brookie coming along with chores twice a day...thinks she's a big girl helping Quade move the sheep off the feed and going with him on his flanks.
The sheep will turn off of a dog so she really thinks she's doing 'something' when the lambs on outer edge turn in. She's too young to train formally
on stock ....but until she is old enough will let her hang with us at chores until she starts getting into 'trouble'.

btw...I was very creative with her call name....looks like Brooke/Brookie is going to stick.
