BevLive: make and mend day

A bit of a "make and mend" day. Morning started out with rain and wind so goofed off. Cleaned the camper and took a long walk along an abandoned old railroad grade.

Terri's ranch

In the afternoon we did outruns with the open dogs, Terri and I gathering back and forth. Mirk ran way too wide for my tastes and didn't lift the way I wanted. Fly is still too tight on her outruns.This had been a problem since I got her in December, I think it's better, but still not right. She is trying much harder for me then she did a month ago, a sure step in the right direction.

Nel was great. Perfect. Wonderful. Do Igo on too much? All of her tentativeness from the previous day was gone. She got right in behind the sheep and shoved them straight down the field to me. She made up for everyone else's shortcomings.I'm a happy camper.

Later I got to work Meg in a smaller field. She was pretty bad. Not a bad dog just inadequately trained. I have no one to blame but me. I doubt I can get her trained in a week. But I'm going to at least see if I can get her to do a good outrun before I leave.
