Across the street:
Got to Janie's around noon or something. I was so excited ... there was NO wind! (If you know Janie's house, you know this is a rare event!) There were gorgeous clouds, but the sun made it a habit to peek through consistently through the day and would warm your back. Just lovely. I think even the sheep were enjoying it.
Echo and I worked on her driving ...
And more driving ...
Actually, what we were working on was her inside flanks, but the only time I could get photos while working her was when she was just driving ... :-)
Or fetching sheep to me on her outrun ...
Or peeling sheep off me to start the drive ...
The sun made snapping photos kinda fun. I love this one:
And this one (despite the butts):
Janie worked Roy quite a bit. Worked on his outrun and stuff.
Is this what people mean by "sheepdog"?
Colleen worked on Reena picking sheep up off a setout person. If that setout person was Janie, Reena wanted nothing to do with it. Switch out the set out person and she did great! So as long as Janie isn't setting sheep at whatever trial Reena is running, she should have a nice outrun! LOL
And it looks like I was half asleep as I loaded the edited photos to Photoshop this morning. I am missing a couple of Echo, several of Reena and several of Zip. Will have to fix this when I get home.
But here's Zip helping set. He's gotten so patient in his later years. He's makes a real nice setout dog. I don't have to say much to him.
Food was wondful! Janie and Kirk cooked all day, and their son Jim and his girlfriend Rin (short for "Katherine") made the yummy potatoes and awesome pies! I can't thank Janie and Kirk enough for welcoming me to their home and sharing their family with me.
Until later,
Happy tails!
