The Story of June...

... and likely continued in July:


Constantly adjusting...
Goober

It's brown now

Yes, brown
The green is irrigated potatoes
Cap dozing in front of the fan on a hot day recently. He is no dummy!

Happy Birthday to Cap!

Cap turned a year old on June 21, 2018.

One year!




Cap and I are putting in the "miles", so to speak. I work him almost every day. He has a little stop, a little call off, and goes around both ways. He's eager and fun. Every day he shows me just a teensy bit more of what's in there. We have a lot of work to do.

13th

At Little Horse Mountain we had a good run. I can't remember it - the run is a blur in my memory - but we had a good run.

We were 13th. Just one point out of "the points". People seemed shocked and came up to talk to me about it. My response: "he is trained! "  This made one person laugh hysterically. I laughed, too, and told her that I was so glad I could make her laugh so hard!

It's all in there.  Spot is trained.



On the last day of the trial (PN and Nursery day) Spot worked his heart out for me. I learned a lot about him that day.

This is almost at the end of two hours of trailing sheep home after the trial. He does not give up.
There are lots of things I'd like to post about. I am working Cap nearly every day. He is a year old now and ready to train. The days fly by and are full. For some reason I think I need a picture for a blog post, but maybe I don't. The pictures take longer. Maybe I will try some without pictures...
