I got home last night at 9pm . I drove from Indiana and it took 12 hrs. Not too bad. Just a little traffice coming out of NY at around 7:30. The dogs were starting too get antsy. At least Dually was, The others were ok, but he as whining a bit.
I parked the truck and trailer in the driveway and went up to the house to turn on the pellet stove and the hot water. I let the dogs out to run and then I brought them in and went to bed. Not a great nights sleep but tonight is going to be superb.
I worked both dogs today. Dare did some nice sorting today. I am working on teaching him to Hold at the gate and get back and release one sheep at a time thru the gate. I'm trying to make him responsible for Holding and releasing and not make it my responsibility to sort by just moving the gate. I want the dog to understand the job.
Dually was worked on the light sheep. I want him to understand that when I say get around , regardless of where I am standing , he should go get the sheep. Sometimes he just stands there with this dumb look on his face. I can set him up and do and outrun , but I don't always want to HAVE to be standing in just the right place. He got better. I just need to do more.
Yea I for one am glad you are home safe and sound even if I have to work this weekend and only got to see you for a few min this morning and didn't work my dogs. But I have Monday off and after Tuesday a whole week off.
