Training Notes
Wally and I brought Sarah down with us to bring up the sheep. As we walked down there I said to him that I hoped one of us wouldn’t be having to walk back up to get another dog. The good thing

Setting fence and working dogs
I don’t think I got a lick of sleep last night. I don’t know what got into me. I worked yesterday from 8:30 to 5:30, but that shouldn’t have had anything to do with it. Weird. As a result, I slept in
A beautiful thing …
