Bevlive: At Edgeworth

Was an easy day after three hard days of driving. Tom spotted sheep for
each of my dogs in the morning and we gave them each an outrun. That
was all they got as it turns out not one of them could remember how to
shed. A bit discouraging that. I hope it comes back to them soon.

Edgeworth: dried out but still beautiful

Mostly I worked on poor Meg. She started the trip quite good after our
schooling at Stormy’s ranch. But by the last SD trial the wheels had
come off her completely. That was followed by two weeks with no work at
all. A long time at eighteen months. I’m trying to retrain her in these
two days. She started off pretty wild this morning but seems to be
calming down a little. Alas, she seems to have forgotten all that work
we did on nice flanks. She is very tight and even a bit directionally
challenged just now.

Dennis and Jean Gellings pulled in around 6:00 this evening from
Meeker. So we all showed off our young dogs. Some nice youngsters on
the wings.
