Sheepdog News

Amanda: Back on the Blog

I have been trying to be a better blogger but Bev has kept you up to date.  I was so tired after the drive out, that I was unwilling to get behind the wheel to get to a hot spot.  That drive out west is terrible long.

Bev and Mirk at Milton's

I spent the last couple of days at Milton Scott's.  His sheep are big and difficult, just like his field.  The terrain here is flatter and more prairie than the foothills of the Bar Pipe Ranch where the finals were.  I have been running all my dogs in the morning and yesterday went out and bought a new pickup truck, a Ford, dually, King ranch, rust coloured (so the rust won't show) and tan interior.  The dogs will  love it.  Big roomy back seat.

Canadian Finals

My dogs have not been so much a disappointment to me as the results.  I think they are running well and I just need to sharpen up.  I am waiting to get the registration organized on my new truck and then it is off to Soldier Hollow, a sixteen-hour drive.
