Amanda: pig power

We mounted up the cobs and tried the young dogs picking off horses today.They were all fine.The outrunning was first class from all of them and they each showed a nice feel for their sheep, smooth, straight lifts.I am always made nervous when I am optimistic.Pre trial sentiments are better verging on suicidal.It is Monday and I have to go to work, testing the hearts of Canada.

I am taking my truck in for a vetting– brakes, sticky gas peddle, a fill up.My camper needs batteries in its various nooks and crannies, nine volts and triple A's.I am leaving on Sunday night.Sandra Massie, my Kiwi friend, is riding with me.We will not be driving by any of my regular shopping holes so I am trying to girl scout up and be prepared.There could be any kind of weather over the next six weeks.So many details, with less and less time.It is far too hot to run dogs tonight.They can go swimming instead.Too darn hot
