BevLive: enjoying hospitality

This was a day of hospitality. First Shauna brought us in fresh sheep for our morning practice. We mostly worked our nursery dogs, who all three looked very nice in spite of the long lay off. I worked Hemp a little on shedding. Not any improvement, which is pretty scary since I'm a long way from home with him.

Then on to the important stuff–we went fishing at the pond at Shauna's all stocked with trout. The dogs loved the swimming and the hours of freedom after days of crates and chains.

We left Shauna's around 10:30 and had a beautiful drive to Derek Fisher's parent's ranch outside Boise, Idaho. We got here about 6:30 with a quick shopping trip at Sierra Trading Post. Unbelievable, not only are they letting us park these huge rigs in their backyard, but Dany and Frank had a steak dinner cooked for us.
