HCT'd and stuff

Alibahbah just arrived today, brought to his new home by a client. I had Pow bring up two girls of mine to stand outside the trailer, so that he could just be brought down to his hold pen in a flock, instead of hassled in a new place. Less chance of wreckage. Funny thing was - my sheep load really really easily, so he came out, the girls went in. He stood there for a second, and got back in the trailer with them. Sigh.
I sent pow to hide alongside the side of the trailer, and shooed them out myself, with Meredith closing the ramp asap after them. The girls calmly escorted the new beau to the gate, we went through, they informed him that the white collie wasn't a problem, which he believed them and didn't even glance at Frost in the tight chute area. Got him sorted into a pen by himself, watered and hayed up.

The pups passed their HCT's last weekend, with Gonna doing a "belly rubs!!!" victory lap, Bonnie and Malcolm being handfuls, and Punch being very nice. I'll post some pics eventually - great photographer took some. The ducks did a great job, glad I keep them legged up, you can really tell the difference come trial time.

Whiskey and Nari both got their HTADIIId titles and a champ pt each, which is very cool.

Step is coming along at his farm - showing lots of natural talent and he'll be a great help there as they learn how to use him and his inborn skills. Shep is also coming along - both boys showed they can help with chores already at their respective farms. I'm very pleased with how they are turning out.
