BevLive: outruns

Editor's Note: Apologies for getting a couple of days behind in the posts.  I plead general business and too much playing with my new Ipad!

Great day for Meg. We worked her four times today in an effort to prevent my having to buy a sheep at one of these trials that I ambitiously entered in the winter. She has finally begun to put the pieces together and looks great. However, I think there is very little chance she will manage the new locations, strange sheep and excitement of a trial without doing something for which we will both be sorry.

We did our longest outruns yet with all the dogs to celebrate our last day here. Everyone did great with Nel again having the best performance.

Tomorrow we are planning to head up to the highest point on the ranch and see if we can stretch out all the open dogs a bit more before we start trialing.

Tonight Paul grilled pork ribs and we had a great dinner. Going to be hard to leave this good life and get back to trialing. Still hard to beat a good dog trial. Tomorrow back on the road.
