Merck Forest Sheepdog Trials This Weekend!!
It's a Cold Antler Farm tradition. I go every year. This year I can only go one day, but I will be there and thrilled to see the dogs and people I have only seen on Facebook this season. This was the summer of Gibson being a farm dog, no herding lessons at all. Mostly because of the work of learning to ride and get Merlin here. But he is young, just 2, and has a lifetime ahead of him (and so do I) to get to that post one day and enter a trial. It's a step I can't wait to take, ribbons be damned.

I saw there is one in Dorset too although I can't remember the dates.
Have fun! I just saw Gibson's dad this past weekend at the Soldier Hollow trial.
Oh, I thought you might like to know that if he makes it to the semis at the nationals - you can watch him on line!

How nice to see that barn again - used to work there. Lovely place.
That barn looks familiar. What a small world, I interned at Merck for 6 months and I can't believe it has been 10 years ago. I now live in Maryland and stumbled across your blog last year. My internship there inspired me to start my own small farm here, although I do miss Vermont!
