I got a chance to watch my future charges....um, charge. The Scottish Blackface ewes I'd be raising were in the trial, right in front of me there were loping across the field with their spring lambs. Have you ever seen a Scottish Blackface lamb? My dear lord...they're like little-chubby-cuddly-monster stuffed animals: hooves and horns and shaggy coats with tiny bleats for mom. My heart melted. Gibson coughed up some dirt clods.


The drive home was long and hilly weaving up into the northern part of the state from south of Albany. Roadtrips like this wear us both out. I was content with the radio and some iced coffee, but Gibson slept the entire time on the sheepskin, breathing slowly like the tired boy he was.

What a fantastic day you had. I think the lady in the first picture trials all over as I think I've seen her at the Blue Hill Fair over Labor Day.
One of my SAR teammates has BCs and they are hard wired to herd. It drives them crazy to have a half dozen German Shepherds playing and chasing sticks. The BCs want to herd the GSDs into a nice tight group.
what is SAR?
Search and Rescue. I'm on dogs numbers 4 and 5 since I started in 1984. That's what I'm doing today. I know how you feel about seeing a dog do as it is trained. It still thrills me when my dog returns to me and indicates a find.
that is awesome!
You'll do it; you and Gibson. You'll be up there too.
Well Jenna, I hadn't planned on it but my teammates set up my annual 40 acre recertification test. We passed.
