Let's see - Collie Regionals (Joy, Charlie, Lyric, Thorn and Armani) in Fl at Sherry Lee's next weekend, PBCA AKC Herding trial (Charlie, Joy, Pow, Brick, Whiskey, Blue, Nari) in Rougemont,NC weekend after that, and the rally/obed/conf Sheltie Specialty (Joy, Charlie, Blue, Nari) in Mebane, NC the weekend after that.
Sigh - choices. I'm missing a shot at working cattle to go to the Regionals, missing a shot at the C course title to go to the PBCA trial, and missing something else good to go to the sheltie specialty. Bleh. Ah well, not like I could afford to go to anything other than what I'm going to. I haven't been to Sherry's before, and if the sheep are good for C that would be fun to go to next time she holds it, and maybe I'd have Nari ready as well as Pow.
The pups are really starting to pick up the sheep stuff. Punch shows signs of doctor dog - found Tosha who got bit a few days ago in the middle of the flock and followed her a bit. Funny when that happens - it is much like those old cartoons where the scent trail grabs the dog by the nose and leads them in a daze to the source. Punch obviously didn't even know where she was going or why, just got pulled to Tosha and along with her as she walked. I wouldn't have picked Punch to have that skill, but hey, I'll take it. Pretty valuable.
