Finals again
Lots of people. Lots of activity. Great dogs. I can only hope I am ever good enough to be here as a competitor someday.
More later.

Finals Update!
Katy and I arrived in Tulelake this evening, checked into the motel ... and that's it! I have all my camera equipment with me so I hope to catch a few good photos if nothing else.
Hey Barb, if you read this ... or Chloe ... if you catch this ... let Barb know ... I'll call her tomorrow. I got her message a bit late tonight.
Looking forward to seeing the trial field and seeing some faces I haven't seen in quite a while.
Happy tails,
Jodi

A long time ...
The house has not closed yet. Not even close. The contractor has just gotten the ok to start the work that was approved weeks ago. After the work is complete, the lender will do the appraisal, and from then, it will be at least three weeks before it closes. So if I get in there before it snows, I'll be doing good.
In the meantime, my house is still packed. I keep trying to keep it clean, but it's impossible with the dogs and stuff.
I have taken tons of photos, and while I occasionally hit the library (like tonight), I can't post photos from here -- especially in the volume that I usually post photos in.
I added the Cakewrecks blog to my blog list. Check it out. It's hysterical. Don't read it when you're sitting in the library.
Went camping last weekend in Leslie Gulch. What a gorgeous place! The dogs had a great time and it was nice to relax for a bit and forget about life.
Haven't been working the dogs much. Maybe I'll make it over to Janie's one of these days and grab the trailer and head to the desert.
Echo's coat is looking like crap, to put it nicely. It's thin and dull, so I am messing around with a few different foods to see if that helps. We'll see.
Off to peruse a few books to see if I can come up with a name for the new place ... if I ever get it.

Warning: Way Off Topic and Political
Okay ... you clicked on it. This is a highly emotional and political topic. Feel free to comment, preach, tell me what to do with my opinion ... or ignore it ... but please know going in ... you will not change my mind.
Abortion.
There was a huge protest in Bellevue, Nebraska recently. One of the leaders is a man. Yes. A man. As if men should have ANY opinion on abortion. If a man is so damn concerned with a woman having an abortion, the time for him to worry about it is when he's wiggling his little willy around. If he would put Wiggly Willy's Waincoat on, we wouldn't have anything to worry about, now would we?
And please people ... no matter which side of this issue you're on, please leave your children at home. Go stand on the corner with your sign and your dog. Leave the kid at home. This is an issue for adults ... and the children do not understand ... nor should they have to.
