Getting to one end of the farm to the other only takes a few minutes with a brisk walk...taking a crew of pups turns into a good 1 /2 hour as you continue to regroup 'as a Group' and carry on. Always one pup leading the charge with the rest in hot pursuit with a lagger getting side track with some interesting smells or something needs a little taste testing along the way. With hawks circling over head and a good chance of Eagles in the area given last year we saw them daily for a stretch ....the kids need to be kept as a group and not mistaken for an off colored gopher or rabbit.
A good change of ground surfaces from gravel, snow, mud, garden mud, manure & straw and more muck with sheep tidbits....lots of nose work with taste testing along the way....new sounds the cattle and sheep with dogs barking from their runs.
Weather not nice enough to leave outside in a run with tarps and plastic bags flapping in breeze to get used to some outside stuff.
Baths & tattooing tomorrow.
CERF's / Vet checks and flights on Thursday....making for a big day as well an early start at 04:30 to time feeds and pit stops
for the trek to the city.
