This article is really old now - from 2004, but was mentioned recently so I dug up an old copy. <br /><br /></p><p>Strangers in a Strange Land: Yesterday's Aussies in Today's World</p><p><br /></p><p>Rescue Representatives donate their time and energy to the cause of helping dogs in need. Every day when I arrive home from work I sift through rescue related email and voicemail, trying to help dogs and the people who live with them. Some dogs and families I can help, some I cannot. The most common reason I am unable to help a dog in need is if it has bitten someone. For everyone's safety, ARPH does not accept dogs into the program if they have what we call "a bite history." One of the most difficult conversations I have with owners is helping them decide if it would be fair to expect another family to live with the behavior problems which have precipitated their decision to surrender the dog or if euthanasia is appropriate for their pet.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is easy to get discouraged as a volunteer who does animal rescue. Fortunately one of the benefits of working with ARPH is the support and knowledge of many fantastic volunteers, usually through our nation-wide rescue email list. One topic we recently explored on this list is whether many Rescue Representatives are receiving more calls about aggressive Aussies, or dogs with a bite history. A fascinating thread followed, perhaps posing more questions than it answered. These are difficult questions because their answers are not palatable to everyone. Unfortunately, Rescue Representatives get calls every day regarding dogs we cannot help based on behavior, and the numbers seem to increase as the years go by. Is there really an increase in aggression or aggressive behaviors in our breed? If there is, why might this happen? And most important, what can be done to solve the problem?</p><p><br /></p><p>Dogs have been domesticated and have lived with humans for centuries. On the timeline of domesticating dogs, Aussies are relative latecomers. It is generally accepted that the Aussies of today are the product of many years of careful selection. However, what we select for when breeding an Aussie may have changed in recent years.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the past, lifestyles were much different than they are today. Most dogs were not simply house pets. Dog owners depended on their dogs to perform designated types of work. Herding dogs were used on the ranches, hunting dogs were used in the field, working and guard breeds were respected and appreciated for their value to the home, flock and family. Ranch homes were precisely that: working ranches which also served as a home for the rancher and his family. An Aussie living in this household would probably have come from one of several sources. Likely sources would include a working-bred litter whose parents were selected based on their working value around the ranch, an accidental litter, or a litter bred specifically because the parents were trouble-free family dogs that were good with stock and children.</p><p><br /></p><p>These pups would grow up on the ranch. If the property was fenced, it was most likely fenced for the stock, not for the dogs. Living on acreage, there was plenty of ground for the historical Aussie to cover. When not at work, he could entertain himself patrolling the property, wandering through the woods or exploring new territory. Vigorous physical and mental exercise was a part of everyday work and play.</p><p><br /></p><p>The ranchers who owned these dogs were animal savvy. Their livelihoods generally revolved around the health and wealth of their stock. A dog was a valuable tool in managing and protecting the flock or herd. It was a no-nonsense lifestyle, not easily given to spoiling dogs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aussies were brave little dogs full of instinct and heart. No rancher or horeseman had to think twice about leaving his gear in his truck or intruders coming onto the property. Not only did these dogs work stock efficiently, they also protected the home and property of their owners. But as I said, these were different times. The growl, snarl and bark of a dog were respected signals, not behaviors earning punishment. Someone foolish enough to challenge a growling Aussie to trespass or steal would have been punished with a bite. And it would have been considered a warranted act by the dog, likely greatly appreciated by the owner.</p><p><br /></p><p>These dogs were respected in their homes as well. It was understood a dog under the table with the evening's ham bone should not be disturbed. Children who knew better but tested the dog would likely receive a growl or nip from the dog, and no sympathy from the parent who had told them the rules. We have all heard the saying "Let sleeping dogs lie." In those days, the sleeping dog was an exhausted dog, and he was let to sleep undisturbed.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not mean to dismiss territorial behaviors and possessiveness or resource guarding as acceptable behaviors. At the same time, I think in the past the environment of the dog was managed to accommodate and appreciate such behaviors in a way our current lifestyle does not allow.</p><p><br /></p><p>Life for Aussies in the past was not as idyllic as I might have portrayed. Ranch dogs were valued and appreciated, yes. Dogs had more freedom, more exercise and more respect. However, this life came with its own set of consequences.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ranchers have a tendency to be protective of their stock - it is, after all, their livelihood. Stock fences clearly delineate one flock from the next, one property from the next. However, to some dogs sheep are sheep, cattle are cattle and horses are delightful fun to chase. Unfortunately, harassing livestock or the neighbor's horses frequently carried a severe penalty: death at the hands of the stockowner.</p><p><br /></p><p>Being shot by neighbors was only one of the risks of this way of life. Predators and other wild animals posed risks as well. And losing a fight was not the only way risk from wildlife. Diseases like rabies and leptospirosis are spread by infected wildlife and pets and were far more prevalent historically than they are today.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, dogs faced dangers of technology. Being struck by a vehicle, caught in a wildlife trap or ingesting poison intended for vermin are all risks dogs face today as well. However, these risks were more pronounced in the past, when dogs were supervised less closely.</p><p><br /></p><p>The development of ASCA, the breed standard, AKC recognition and increased awareness have lead to a surge in popularity. As time has passed, and particularly in the past 20 years, the home life of many Aussies has changed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Our beloved, versatile Aussies have found themselves in new times. Puppies aren't just bred for their working or pet qualities, but for conformation as well. Sadly, unscrupulous individuals can even breed litters simply to earn some cash by selling pup after pup. These careless breedings can and do affect the quality of our breed. Homozygous merle dogs are sold as "rare white Aussies" in newspapers and pet stores. Behavior and temperament are neglected in favor of color and coat. Health and longevity are overlooked in favor of producing dogs as quickly as possible, and earning as much money as possible. Of course, there are many reputable breeders, and our Aussies are blessed to have these guardians. However, a breed is only as strong as its weakest links. Right now, the weakest links are human. Be the pup from a reputable breeder or an unscrupulous one, a long planned and highly anticipated litter or an accidental one, most pups today are finding themselves in homes vastly different from those in which our breed was founded.</p><p><br /></p><p>Families are busy and fragmented, living in urban dwellings. Houses with small yards or apartments have replaced many of the ranches of years past. Most of us work outside the home, gone 40 hours or more per week. Our free time is spent ferrying our active children to one event or another, participating in the community, or spending time enriching our lives with other activities.</p><p><br /></p><p>Modern urban life, fenced yards and leash laws afford dogs many degrees of safety they did not experience historically. Protected from cars, neighbors and other animals and benefiting from leaps in veterinary technology and nutritional research, our dogs are living longer than ever before. Activities and sports like agility, flying disc competition, flyball, lure coursing, recreational herding, obedience and freestyle fill the lives of dogs today in a way they had not experienced before. These advances have enriched the lives of dogs and owners to a great degree.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, life in our busy, technologically advanced world carries as many consequences as benefits. While fences and leashes protect dogs, they also make it a challenge for most owners to meet the mental and physical exercise requirements of an Aussie. Lack of physical exercise can lead to dogs that are high strung, destructive and frustrated. Lack of mental stimulation leaves dogs to their own devices, usually taking up hobbies like creative carpentry, decorative landscaping and freelance protection work.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most times, these behaviors are the result of a normal Aussie living in a home that cannot meet its needs. Sadly, these behaviors frequently lead to a failure in the relationship between dog and owner. Failed relationships can end in many ways, often with the dog being placed in a new home through a shelter or rescue group like ARPH.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the fast-paced-leashed-fenced world has also seen a rise in other, more serious problems, and not just with Aussies. One of the behavior problems reported to be growing most rapidly is on-lead dog-dog aggression. In my opinion, this type of aggression is newly recognized and treated because the routine leash-walking of dogs is a relatively new phenomenon. Other behavior problems such as fence fighting or barrier aggression and separation anxiety are also on the rise, and relatively new.</p><p><br /></p><p>Inexperienced dog owners with physically or mentally frustrated dogs are frequently set up to fail in the urban world. For example, on-lead aggression is on the rise. Why? Trying to be responsible and prevent his beloved dog from creating a nuisance, the owner walks the dog on a leash regularly. Any time another dog approaches, the owner cinches up his leash tightly to control his own dog and avoid an interaction with the strange dog. While this makes the owner feel secure, it frequently sends a message of anxiety and uncertainty to the dog. The tight leash can communicate a sense of danger to the dog, which, in the beginning, will generally appear subtly stressed. The novice dog owner would likely not notice these subtle signs until they manifest as lunging, barking, growling or snapping at the end of the lead. On-lead aggression can sometimes be directed toward people or other stimuli as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aussies and many other working and herding breeds also have a natural sense of property, territory and family. They have guarding instincts. Imagine for a moment a typical, energetic, intelligent, loyal Aussie living in an apartment. Left home alone while the owner is at work, the dog is surprised when a repairman enters the apartment and the owner is away. Acting on its guarding instincts, the dog barks and growls at the door. Undeterred, the repairman enters and is bitten. He sues the dog owner and reports the bite. Potentially the dog owner faces major damages in addition to the risk the dog may be euthanized.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the past, a stranger would likely never have considered entering a home or property with a barking, growling Aussie behind the door. However, life today involves frequent comings and goings of strangers and friends alike. In an inexperienced home, the guardian behavior that was so valued in our breed's foundation stock is now the source of potential litigation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Clearly, not every Aussie in today's world is a problem, but I think it is only fair to acknowledge this is an emerging and expanding issue. These dogs of yesterday that are trying to live in today's world are not succeeding. So what happens to these problem dogs?</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes these dogs must be removed from the household. A number of options exist. Some dogs are given away or taken to shelters. At the shelter, either the dog will be placed with a new family, released to a rescue group, or euthanized. Shelter staff are overworked and underpaid, fighting a constant uphill battle of too many dogs and not enough homes. Once a dog is adopted out, it will either succeed in its new home, or fail and end up back in the system once more.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some owners call rescue groups like ARPH directly to ask for help. For non-aggressive dogs, ARPH can be a terrific solution for pet and owner alike. However, ARPH cannot accept dogs with a bite history, regardless of whether the bite may be considered warranted or not. If the dog bit a threatening intruder or the neighbor's infant, we must consider all bites equal as far as liabilities go. The dogs ARPH can't take are the same dogs many shelters are forced to euthanize based on temperament.</p><p><br /></p><p>So what if ARPH can't take a dog, and the shelter tells the owner the dog would be euthanized at their facility? The owner has several options. The first would be to keep the dog and manage his behavior. This involves restricting the dog's environment and contacts to keep himself and those around him safe. Many devoted owners successfully manage problem dogs, but accidents happen. Managing the potentially aggressive dog is a high-risk endeavor, because one door getting left open could lead to a lawsuit and an owner losing his home.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another option would be for the owner to try on his own to find a new family for the dog. Again, this poses ethical and legal questions to the owner. A dog with a bite history is a not only a legal liability, but one has to consider the fairness or unfairness of expecting another family to live with a dog who is being surrendered because of aggressive behavior.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, the owner can choose to have his own veterinarian euthanize the dog.</p><p><br /></p><p>Euthanasia is the leading cause of death of dogs 0-4 years old in the United States. I contend that something should be done to stem this epidemic. But what do we do? Do we breed dogs that are more suited to the sedentary, under equipped homes available today? Or do we try to improve our breeding and adopting practices, and try to better equip pet owners? It breaks my heart to consider the loss of our old-style feisty, brave, intelligent, loyal and protective Aussies. I propose there are other solutions to this problem, but they require the help of everyone involved in our breed and every breed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Continue doing rescue. ARPH and other rescue organizations provide a valuable resource for dogs that are simply in the wrong homes. By carefully screening both dogs and potential adopters, we can increase the probability a dog will succeed in its new unlike the previous one. On the off chance the placement is not a perfect match, ARPH acts as a permanent safety net for the dog, willing to take him back into the program at any point for the entire rest of his life.</p><p><br /></p><p>Encourage responsible breeding. Careful temperament evaluation, careful health evaluation and extremely cautious screening of puppy buyers can go a long way toward improving the success rates of Aussies in today's homes. Producing dogs of sound mind and body and placing them in adequately educated and prepared homes is the best way to ensure the dog's first home will remain his home for his entire life. If for some reason the dog cannot remain in this home, I propose breeders should be willing to take back their dogs at any point in the dog's life.</p><p><br /></p><p>Encourage responsible pet ownership. Counsel potential pet owners to select an appropriate dog for their lifestyle. It is unrealistic to expect a pet owner to dramatically change their entire way of life to fit a certain breed. There is a wonderful diversity among dogs, why not match the best dog to the best home? Advocate proper physical and mental exercise, with an emphasis on training and socialization. Owners who are well educated about the mental and social needs of a dog are much more likely to prevent behavior problems before they start. Remind pet owners to seek help immediately if a problem behavior is discovered, and discourage rationalizing or making excuses for inappropriate behaviors.</p><p><br /></p><p>Educate puppy buyers and pet adopters that a dog is a responsibility that lasts the dog's entire lifetime.</p><p><br /></p><p>The well being of Aussies is in our hands. ARPH volunteers dedicate countless hours every day to help our breed succeed. With the help of responsible breeders and well-educated pet owners, we hope the numbers of Aussies euthanized due to behavior steadily declines in the coming years.</p>Moniquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17590279128673190945noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5894243957904000364.post-21928678585383121012013-08-01T13:57:00.004-07:002013-08-01T14:12:14.881-07:00Making [Inner] Peace<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

nature, I would try and identify the things that were “making” me depressed.
Funny enough, when I changed those things, I only felt marginally better. What

who has lived a charmed life (She is imaginary, I PROMISE). Stable family,
loving relationships and never had any real injury or loss. She gets into a car
accident, totaling her car and breaking her leg. The doctors say in 8 weeks she
will be as good as new and the insurance company covers the cost of the car. To
her, this will feel impossibly horrible. She has never felt physical pain like
this, financial pain like this, the embarrassment of a traffic accident, her
family’s disappointment and anger, etc. Her continuum of [pain]--------[joy]<joy -----="" joy="" pain="">
has been recalibrated with a new low point. That new low point is the lowest
low she has experienced.</joy></span></div>

Ok, so I'm tired of seeing stuff like this. It's downright rare that I post anything "political" on my blog. I'm a liberal, and a former gun owner. I grew up shooting and I don't think we need to take guns away from civilians. However, I think ridiculous memes like this propagate harmful comparisons which are entirely inappropriate. <br />
<br />
According to the Department of Transportation as of 2010 there were 203 million licensed drivers in the US owning about 240 million cars.<br />
<br />
According to a 2010, an estimated 70-80 million adults in the US own one or more guns, with total civilian gun numbers of approximately 250 million in 2010 according to the NRA.<br />
<br />
According to the CDC, there were 32,163 gun deaths in 2011.<br />
<br />
According to the CDC, there were 33,687 motor vehicle deaths in 2011. <br />
<br />
According to the CDC, automobile deaths per capita in the US have declined sharply in the past 30 years while firearms deaths inclined sharply for 20 years, leveling out in the past decade. <br />
<br />
So if you are willing to bear with me for a moment, let's call it 75 million gun owning adults killed 32,163 people in 2011 while 203 million drivers caused 33,687 deaths in 2011.<br />
<br />
Unless my math is wrong (which it may be), that means a gun owner is about 2.7 times more likely to kill another person than a licensed driver, in spite of the fact that automobiles are used with much greater frequency and duration than guns.<br />
<br />
Neither guns nor cars kill people. However, both are instruments of death used by intention or by accident.<br />
<br />
So how do we get gun owners to be as safe as drivers? Or - how about - SAFER than drivers?<br />
<br />
I propose a similar safety model to the one uses for drivers as a starting point.<br />
<br />
1) Youth education. Educate kids about gun safety from a young age. Just like we teach children never to cross the street without an adult and without looking both ways, never to stand behind a car, what backup lights look like, what the horn means, never to start or drive the car, never to touch the gear shift, always wear a seat belt, etc. Teach children how to safely either avoid or handle guns.<br />
<br />
2) Young user education. Educate kids who own guns about proper safety. Plenty of kids drive the truck and tractor on the farm from a young age. There are many talented youth markspeople as well. When I was 9 I could lay a coke bottle on its side on the top of a fencepost and shoot the bottom out of the bottle through the neck from 20 yards or so. We had access to firearms without adult supervision.<br />
<br />
Just like we have drivers safety, we should have gun safety. Proper maintenance, assembly and disassembly, target recognition, decision making and safe choices such as never mixing drugs and alcohol or anger with weapons should be taught.<br />
<br />
3) Licensing. In order to operate a motor vehicle legally, potential drivers must pass a written safety test, vision test and a practical driving exam, demonstrating basic proficiency before earning a license. This license must be renewed on a set schedule.<br />
<br />
Require licensing for gun operation. Vehicle operation licenses are divided into categories such as commercial, lenses required, motorcycle, etc. Allow for different use categories if desired. Charge for this licensing and put the money toward education and health care.<br />
<br />
4) Background checks. This is not required for operating an automobile but I think it should be. History of DUI? No license. History of violent crime? No license. I support universal background checks for all gun operators. Minor operators should have their parents receive a background check as well.<br />
<br />
5) Taxation. Yes, I said it. To own and operate a vehicle, the vehicle must be registered and annual taxes paid in the form of license tabs. Further, the fuel needed to operate that vehicle is subject to an ever increasing fuel tax. Require annual licensing of firearms. Make the fee small. At even $5/weapon, that's $1.25 billion dollars a year in revenue. Say it takes 35% of that revenue to pay the overhead for running the taxation system. That's still $875 million in revenue. I think education and health care could use that money. Tax ammunition at a higher rate (like alcohol, tobacco and fuel) and use that to fund education and health care, too. <br />
<br />
In addition, licensing weapons is a good way to legitimize gun ownership and remove the stigma sometimes associated with it.<br />
<br />
Registering weapons is also a way to track responsibility. If gun operators are required to know where their weapons are at all times and responsible for reporting stolen weapons immediately, there could me some culpability for accidental firearm deaths.<br />
<br />
Will more regulations on guns stop criminals from breaking the law? No. It doesn't stop criminals from driving without a license, driving drunk or driving recklessly either. But it may help the 70-80 million gun owners keep their firearms safely stored and safely and sanely used. It certainly has helped the 203 million drivers become safer over the past several decades.<br />
<br />
So if we are going to compare two ridiculously disparate objects like guns and cars, let's stop doing it to further a political agenda using scare tactics and start doing it to learn how to make them equally safe instead of claiming erroneously that they are equally deadly. <br />

I think we had 11 or 12 dogs between the 4 families, quite a few Aussies, my two BCs, Zora and a GSD to round out the group. Magick had a great time at the beach and was able to cover about 5 miles, surprising me thoroughly. She wasn't even sore the next day, which tells me her mobility issues are much more due to her neurologic problems than osteoarthritis.<br />

Trial wise, I went to my first trial of the year last weekend in Heppner, OR. The trial was a huge challenge and we did oh-so-much better than last year.

This week Rye and I had two lessons with Scott. It was a bit disappointing because he worked nowhere near like he works at home. He was confounded by the different place and different sheep. Scott gave me some foundation flanking review homework. We raced daylight to the farm and did our homework every night between our lessons and the second lesson was *much* better. I went to Fido's again today and we had the best work yet. <br />

I have several exciting new projects I'm working on that I find wonderfully rewarding. You'll hear more about them as the evolve. Also I finally convinced my boss to change to electronic medical records so the big change happens May 7th. I have a LOT of work to do setting up everything before then and we will be closed for two full days of staff training in the new system as well.<br />

All in all, the tail of winter wagged in our favor. Moniquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17590279128673190945noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5894243957904000364.post-25866086255128625632013-03-09T22:11:00.000-08:002013-03-09T22:26:01.471-08:00Always remembered: Gershwin. 1996-2013Gershwin was born in 1996, he came to me in January 1997 as a 2-month-old kitten. He joined the white poofy kitty, Charlie, as well as Allie in the house. Paddy followed later that year. <br />
<br />
His name became clear early on - with his piano-key white/black/white/black toes on all four paws. He was always dressed in a tuxedo and had grace and dignity. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Dsta0jw10Ks/UTwfSzUaPAI/AAAAAAAABYs/Z1hgt0uL8Co/s640/blogger-image--2134422747.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Dsta0jw10Ks/UTwfSzUaPAI/AAAAAAAABYs/Z1hgt0uL8Co/s640/blogger-image--2134422747.jpg" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-8Lu3BWwmvNs/UTwfNRoHwrI/AAAAAAAABYc/4R97cIrzlhs/s640/blogger-image-2114570836.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></div>
A friendly and social cat, he was always the first kitty to greet visitors, rubbing and head butting them. His particular favorite was to hop up on the sofa behind you and head-butt the back of your head. I think he knew my mother doesn't care for cats because she was an object of extra attention whenever she visited. Over time, he grew on even her. He worked his charms. <br />
<br />
He was a crowd pleaser at parties and our pet sitters always enjoyed his company. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-N-uCU5aVaKc/UTwfVkDlzEI/AAAAAAAABY0/9MF2GzZeYCI/s640/blogger-image-1970872381.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-N-uCU5aVaKc/UTwfVkDlzEI/AAAAAAAABY0/9MF2GzZeYCI/s640/blogger-image-1970872381.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
All of my cats live indoors. Gershwin has always been an avid bird watcher. He would sit in the window and "hunt" from the windowsill. Poised, tense, tail swishing and making the characteristic hunter-chatter. His chatter was especially recognizable and endearing, earning him the nickname of "Twitter Kitty." Occasionally he would grace us with his hunter-chatter for the feather flirt pole as well if we made it sufficiently enticing. <br />
<br />
In the early morning when everyone else (my husband) was still asleep, he would jump up on the kitchen counter to supervise my making dog breakfast. He would steal a few kibbles and I would pretend to be annoyed but really just laugh at the cat who loved dog food. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Ht26t6A_85A/UTwfQJK1p1I/AAAAAAAABYk/vPMWPWUyXyw/s640/blogger-image--636402039.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Ht26t6A_85A/UTwfQJK1p1I/AAAAAAAABYk/vPMWPWUyXyw/s640/blogger-image--636402039.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Gershwin was always game for catnip or catnap, whatever the situation presented. Agreeable and easy to handle, he was a blood donor in his youth, giving blood at the vet to help save the lives of critically ill kitties who came into the hospital where I work. He was the first cat I clicker trained and was wonderfully clever. <br />
<br />
While I was in school, he would lie patiently beside me on the sofa, keeping me company and prodding me for attention from time to time saving me from the black hole that is writing undergraduate papers. <br />
<br />
Last week after a few days of not eating his full ration, Gershwin earned himself a trip to the vet. Several days of tests led to the conclusion he had developed high-grade lymphoma. He had a good last few days at home, getting plenty of extra attention and delicacies to tempt his appetite. Today we helped him pass quietly to spare him any further suffering. <br />
<br />
We will miss him very much. <br />

Being that I enjoy sheep but am not normally a "sheep hugger," I was skeptical. Alas, this year <a href="http://altapetestockdogs.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Jenny</a> convinced me. After all, they even did a story about it on the <a href="http://animaltracks.today.com/_news/2012/10/26/14622372-take-a-break-and-relax-with-5-photos-of-people-hugging-sheep?lite#__utma=238145375.1572056638.1351284069.1351284069.1351284069.1&__utmb=238145375.1.10.1351284069&__utmc=238145375&__utmx=-&__utmz=238145375.1351284069.1.1.utmcsr=%28direct%29%7Cutmccn=%28direct%29%7Cutmcmd=%28none%29&__utmv=238145375.%7C8=Earned%20By=todayshow%7Ctoday=1%5E12=Landing%20Content=Mixed=1%5E13=Landing%20Hostname=today.msnbc.msn.com=1%5E30=Visit%20Type%20to%20Content=Earned%20to%20Mixed=1&__utmk=67849810" target="_blank">Today Show's website</a>! <br />
<br />
So I set out this morning on my mission to get a photo for hug a sheep day. Rain clothes, a warm hat and my iPhone in its waterproof case in hand, I headed out to the farm. I had in my head that the hug-ee would be Badger, AKA 1203. She was the single lamb of my katahdin ewe who survived a dog attack last November. As a side bonus, she is quite cute. <br />
<br />
Phase 1 of the plan: Explain Hug a Sheep Day to the ewe and catch her up. Badger was entirely unconvinced that this is a real holiday and was not impressed with my explanation. A true skeptic, she required convincing, so I called in some reinforcements.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lucy helps Badger see the wisdom in my plan... </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
Once the reinforcements arrived, I was able to move to phase 2 of the plan: capture Badger. <br />
<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0Fmrp6oBouU/UIxFwp5ulcI/AAAAAAAABLQ/oYRHRXpuQTE/s1600/photo%2837%29.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0Fmrp6oBouU/UIxFwp5ulcI/AAAAAAAABLQ/oYRHRXpuQTE/s320/photo%2837%29.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ha! Gotcha, Badger! She still looks unimpressed... </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Phase 3 of the plan: Somehow get a photo of me and Badger in the same frame without a timer-set shutter or tripod. I decided to give Badger a nice hug around the neck and then stretch my other arm out as looooooong as I could. Looks like my arm was just barely long enough!<br />
<br />

I am thinking my sheep are pretty glad this holiday comes only once a year. I told Badger she is lucky it was only Hug A Sheep Day and not Halloween, otherwise who knows what might have happened! I think she would look quite dashing in a set of devil horns ;) <br />

It's an old one, but stands true for me more often than not. But I'm working. I'm getting better, a little at a time. With a better handler, my dog would have had a better score. But without my dog, I'd not have had this opportunity at all so I am grateful we are partners. Thank you, Lucy. <br />
<br />
The "let down" after the finals is starting to wear off and real life is starting to settle back in. Much like when I went to the agility nationals, I felt the culmination of a year's work come down to 13 minutes on the field with my partner. After that type of build up, the coast downhill requires a little mental let-down. I don't say let-down in a bad way, but rather in the sense of taking time to unwind and reflect.<br />
<br />
I've had a few more hot showers, scrubbed off the layers of DEET, dirt and sunscreen leaving behind my sunglasses-raccoon tan. The laundry is washed, $8 in quarters later the mosquitoes and blood spatter are scrubbed off my van. The camper is not yet washed but will be this weekend. I'm still slathering on chapstick in recovery mode from a week in the sun-bright high desert. <br />
<br />
In non-run-related news, I did not even turn on my computer for EIGHT consecutive days. I can't remember the last time that happened and it felt spectacular. I took my camper on its first journey and got everything set up and working all on my own. I shared meals and wine with old friends and made some new friends as well. I saw the huge moon set in the clear pre-dawn light every morning while walking my dogs and saw the sun set over the mountains every night. <br />
<br />
I could not be more proud of my friends. A bunch of us were at our first ever Finals, some of us with our first collie even. We shared the nerves, the excitement, the success, the heartbreak. I think my favorite part of the finals other than standing at the post was cheering on my friends, both old and new. <br />
<br />
So now the bad news - our run. <br />
<br />
Lucy drew up 2nd dog to the post on Friday, the final day of qualifying. I felt great all week up until watching the "Thursday afternoon bloodbath." However, I awoke Friday energized and excited, my nerves felt good instead of frightening.<br />
<br />
I sent Lucy left, though most were sending right. She ran out wide and deep. At one point I thought she was going to bend in and raised my whistle to speak to her, but it was a trick of the light with a brown dog on stubble and she was simply bending out as appropriate. She lifted her sheep without a struggle and cooperated with me. It took a bit of work to get the fetch straightened out but we did it and she brought them right to my feet. Then I made a major handling error coming around the post. I didn't read my dog's mental state well enough and accidentally allowed her to unsettle the sheep coming around the post. The first leg of the drive was spent recovering from that error with a skimmed panel followed by a good turn.<br />
<br />
Our crossdrive line and pace were decent, with Lucy feeling her sheep while I blew steadies and she held the line. I made yet another critical handling error at the crossdrive panel. Handlers had been missing the crossdrive panel low all week. I doubted my dog and myself and blew a small flank to change the line right before the panel. Unfortunately, the sheep were NOT low when I blew that small flank. I ended up releasing the pressure to the hard draw upfield and so we skimmed high but recovered for a good turn (read: me blowing 13 billion flanks to protect against a pull through or an escaped brockle face ewe. Lucy took every whistle even though they were fast and furious) and third leg.<br />
<br />
In the shedding ring I knew there was plenty of time. Glad I wore a watch. I tried to get everything settled down. The sheep and my dog were nice and quiet, but I wasn't able to shuffle the sheep as easily as I thought I would be able to after watching the past few days. After one missed attempt and having to regather into the ring I managed to get my act together and we took a good shed.<br />
<br />
Going to the pen time was tight and I had one ewe who wanted to break back and avoid the pen, ending up stuck behind the gate. Some quick clean flanking by Lucy and a bit of dancing around by me and we closed the gate with 10 seconds left by my watch.<br />
<br />
So yes, I made a LOT of handling errors - and I own them. That being said, I also made some good decisions and got my dog back in hand, preventing a grip when things got chaotic with that ewe against the gate of the pen. Lucy gave me her heart and her trust. She did as I asked even when I was wrong. She did what was needed to move sheep some may have thought her incapable of moving. She was such a good partner to me and WE CLOSED THE GATE!!!!!<br />
<br />
The feeling of closing that gate, hearing my friends cheer us on even though the score would not be a good one was a feeling I want to cherish.<br />
<br />
Some of my fears came true. I did let my mentor down, and I did let my dog down a bit. However, I conquered one of my fears as well. While I may have wished I could have done my run over, I didn't dwell on the bad and I was sincerely pleased with my dog. I stayed in a better mental place than I thought I would have and I was proud of myself for that. My summer lessons paid off and I was able to recover from a problem in the shedding ring and put my head back together to finish the course. Lucy was physically fit and showed almost no fatigue after her run, hopping in the tank because she liked it rather than to cool off.<br />
<br />
While closing the gate might not be a big accomplishment to some, for me, in that one moment, it felt amazing. Our run was mediocre, but our partnership is really something special. <br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I want to thank all my friends for their support along this journey.</i> Words of encouragement or harsh truth when needed help me grow. I knew going to the Finals would either be a time to succeed or a time to learn a needed lesson. In our own way, we did both. <br />
<br />
I'm hoping to get some photos soon and will share them when I do. In the meantime, here's a photo of Lucy and I with our sponsor, Scott - and Me with the team I sponsored, Scott and June. Yep, we sponsored one another! (Photo by Jenny Glen)<br />

Well, I'm at the point now where I vacillate between giddy enthusiasm and nausea with general malaise. The weekend was tough with trailer problems and the electricity at the house being out for 10 most inopportune hours, putting me behind on laundry and homework.<br />
<br />
The homework is done, the trailer is fixed, the laundry is clean. The camper is all packed and I will fold it down and hitch up tonight. The car is almost all packed and I just need to run to the store for a few things before leaving ungodly early tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Lucy is ready. She is physically and mentally fit and has been looking great in practice. We had a little discussion during practice yesterday that ended in mutual understanding. Carolynn and John made it possible for us to haul out to a local hay field and stretch out a bit. It felt good. She is a well-trained dog and her biggest liability is clearly me.<br />
<br />
I've been working on ME. Working hard. A friend prompted me to define what exactly I am nervous about. I don't want to look foolish, I feel like I got in by the skin of my teeth and some people would consider the trials my points came from "easy." I don't want to let my dog down, I want her to look good and want people to like her. I worry I will disappoint my mentors and friends if our run goes badly. I worry that I will be a "sore loser" if it does go badly. I worry that if there is a mistake on the course, I won't be able to shake it off and straighten myself out for the rest of the run. I feel like I don't belong, like my name being in the program with those other names isn't quite right.<br />
<br />
Mostly it boils town to a perfectionistic overthinker who has a global fear of failure. <br />
<br />
Alas, the time for worry is mostly through. I'm off work for a whole week!!! (WOW) And I've turned in all my homework in advance so I have little to worry about while away. The hubby is staying home with Magick, the cats and Stanley. The collies and Zora are coming on the road with me and they will all have fun either way. The camper is going for its inaugural trip and hopefully it will keep working! I will get to spend a week away with friends and dogs, watching some of the most amazing teams in the US and Canada walk to the post. What a privilege. Thank you, Lucy for making it happen.

Ok so I sent in my graduation application and now I have a BAD case of senioritis. Procrastination is the name of this game. I can't be bothered to do my homework in advance like I normally would, it gets left until the last moment an acceptable job can be done. Of course, I'm conceited enough about my grades that these are not suffering, but I'm not engaging with the material like I should. Rather than my usual zest for learning as much as I can, I find myself doing the minimum necessary to maintain. I haven't yet decided if I want to actually <i>change</i> something about this, or just ride the wave of mediocrity toward commencement. <br />
<br />
While my punctuality at school is WAY down, my productivity in other areas is way up! The collies have been getting consistent work and exercise. The house is less of a wreck than usual.<br />
<br />
This weekend is a great example. Yesterday I was up at 5, worked dogs in the morning, did homework mid-day, Rye had CU class in the afternoon, trip to the farm to feed and water sheep and chickens, home and everyone got nails clipped and brushed and the car got loaded up for agility. <br />
<br />
Today, agility all morning. I haven't been to an agility trial since April and it felt like a vacation! Running Zora was interspersed with a nice long off leash walk for the collies and agility practice for Rye. Mid afternoon I headed up the hill to the farm to work both collies, water and feed sheep and chickens and work on setting up a hay delivery. Then, back to agility for a few hours since Zora had 2 more runs in the late afternoon. Now we're home and I'm blogging when I should be doing homework!<br />

<br />
Zora had a lovely day of agility. She is such a great partner. Six attempts, 4 flawless runs with 1st place ribbons. Neither of us was entirely perfect today: I accidentally caused an off-course in one round and she figured I was an optional part of the team for an off-course in another round. That off-course went something like this:<br />
<br />
-----<br />
Me: Come IN, frame!<br />
<br />
Zora: [beady eyes gazing adoringly at tunnel under the A-frame while she runs at top speed]<br />
<br />
Me: [sees the beady eyes looking the wrong way] ZORA! HERE!<br />
<br />
Zora: Yeah, I'll be back in just a sec [speeds through the off-course tunnel with great flair, leaping out of the exit and looking pleased with herself] <br />
<br />
Me: Come here. Frame.<br />
<br />
Zora: K! [completes AFrame while shrugging shoulders]<br />
<br />
elapsed time: ~6 seconds <br />
----<br />
<br />
Yep, it was an off-course but I was just laughing at the discussion we had in those few brief seconds. I love having a partner whom I understand. Though we don't always agree, there is always comprehension on both sides.<br />
<br />
Rye did some neat stuff on sheep that I've never seen him do before! Very fun! He is changing all the time. <br />
<br />
Tomorrow will look a lot like today except with working dogs and unloading a couple tons of hay in the afternoon rather than mid-day and an evening trip to the clinic for Sunday treatments of a sick kitty.<br />

What do top open hands have in common? What do people I respect and love to watch train and run their dogs have in common? Well, they have many similar traits, but they all share one crucially important thing: <i><b>They are good shepherds. </b></i><br />

<br />
<br />
Before all else, before pace and flow, before lines and panels, before pens and sheds and especially before points, this sport is about the <i>sheep</i>. It is also about dogs and hands, but without sheep, there would be no sheepdog. There would be no sheepdog trial, and certainly there would be no sheepdog finals. <br />
<br />
Those hands who can see what the sheep need, keep the sheep happy and who maintain respect for the sheep consistently excel. <br />
<br />
I admit, I get discouraged when I see sheep run all over the field, panting as they enter the shedding ring, heads hanging low as they warily eye the dog and handler. When the pen gate shuts or the shed is called and the handler's demeanor toward the sheep changes to be more careless, I feel sad. As handlers, we should use our dogs to act as our helpers in our stewardship of the sheep. Anytime the dog is on the course whether the timer is running or not, I feel obligated to do what I can to keep the sheep happy and healthy. I absolutely do not have all the stockmanship of a top handler, it will take another decade at least before I get there -- but I promise to try. <br />
<br />
That being said, accidents happen. I think we can all appreciate when an accident happens because of a dog or when a sheep does something unexpected. But before I blame the sheep, I try to take a long hard look at myself. Did I cause a grip? Did I cause the sheep to bolt? Were the sheep handled kindly in the set-out? Did I handle my dog in a way that was not suited to that group (or individual) sheep? If so, I have more to learn and the responsibility is on me to accept what I've created. Most times when I get "bad sheep" I can see that I made them that way with my handling.<br />
<br />
What do you think top hands have in common? What is the magic they share that makes them top hands while the rest of us are just part of the overwhelming mediocre majority? There can only be one winner at every trial so by the numbers there will only be so many top hands. Why are so few people consistently at the top? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. <br />
<br />

Since October, I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of these lovely new lambs, who finally began making their entrances last week. Our co-op is comprised of 23 sheep, but only 5 of them belong to me. With only 5 ewes and the current market for sheep, every lamb is particularly precious to me this season.<br /><br />I'm sure every novice has a bit of anxiety about caring for ewes and lambs. I've spent many hours reading, picking the brains of my wonderful generous friends who are small-scale producers and working together with my co-op partner to prepare for these little ones. I've helped friends with lambing in previous years, pulled lambs, doctored ewes and the like - but it is different having sheep of my own. The investment is greater.<br /><br />The main things I've been concerned about are stress and shelter. We have limited, partial shelter for our sheep. They have plenty of natural cover in the form of mature trees which is perfect for adult sheep, but not terribly helpful for lambs. My co-op partner's husband constructed fantastic jugs in the semi-enclosed barn, but still it is not as protected as a regular barn would be. In addition, there is no way to safely put up heat lamps in the jugs.<br /><br />So of course when the late, wet snow began to fall in earnest and the winds began to whip across the plateau, my ewes decided it was the perfect week for lambing! With partial shelter, what's a novice worry-wart to do? Enter the fashionistas.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ky3acxsowWQ/T1LnW8VydJI/AAAAAAAABHc/xbB2ZQ435rw/s1600/photo%252812%2529.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ky3acxsowWQ/T1LnW8VydJI/AAAAAAAABHc/xbB2ZQ435rw/s400/photo%252812%2529.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5715885258427233426" border="0" /></a><br />After talking to friends and reading my new Laura Lawson Ewes and Lambs book (terrific book by the way, can't recommend it highly enough - great gift from a friend) I confirmed that lambs are like any other baby animal and do not thermoregulate well for the first 48-72 hours of life. I would see photos of lambs lying in the kitchen or laundry room of friends' homes, or under a toasty heat lamp. But living off-site from my sheep, this option wasn't realistic.<br /><br />Lora told me how she makes little lamb jackets out of children's sweat pants. Brilliant, I thought! So I ran to the thrift store and the only suitably sized pants they had were purple. Excellent.<br /><br />Using the diagram from the Laura Lawson book, I made the little jackets. After looking at the commercially available <a href="http://www.premier1supplies.com/detail.php?prod_id=18160">Lamb and Kid Covers</a> I snagged one of Zora's old dog coats that was a gift but did not fit correctly. It would be perfect for a smaller lamb. Tossed all of this into the lambing kit and the rest is history!<br /><br />The first set of twin ewe lambs were born to #806 on a miserably windy freezing cold night, complete with snow. They were the testers of the imperial purple sweat pants legs. Neither mom nor lambs were troubled by the coats.<br /><br />They were turned out into the new lamb pen today and are enjoying it greatly!<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jFd3lMR9Wwg/T1LnXopvVlI/AAAAAAAABIA/bLnYSPijQ4Q/s1600/photo%25289%2529.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jFd3lMR9Wwg/T1LnXopvVlI/AAAAAAAABIA/bLnYSPijQ4Q/s400/photo%25289%2529.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5715885270322075218" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Yesterday, #816 Freckles delivered a small, healthy ewe lamb. Freckles is the ewe who survived the dog attack in November. She also delivered a stillborn incompletely developed fetus. After talking to friends and reading my Lawson Bible, I think this was because of a disruption of the attachment point, probably during the dog attacks.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Hdobx3CqOI4/T1LnXBoHUfI/AAAAAAAABH0/QExkN2jaA2U/s1600/photo%252810%2529.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Hdobx3CqOI4/T1LnXBoHUfI/AAAAAAAABH0/QExkN2jaA2U/s400/photo%252810%2529.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5715885259846275570" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I was expecting another sparkling white lamb from this white ewe, but wait - what is this little red thing with markings like a Barb or other wild looking sheep? A quick photo text to Lora gave me the answer -- she is red with badger or badgerface markings. I learn something new every day! You can guess I have taken to calling her Badger. So much for not naming sheep ;)<br /><br />After being turned out for a bit, Badger was shivering and chilled. Back to the jug for those 2, but the purple jackets were too big for this smaller lamb. However, the dog coat fit perfect. I got a good chuckle over the collie/sheltie print.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-g_d-zZxRTTg/T1LnX0jceZI/AAAAAAAABIM/RWKzigUS7_w/s1600/photo%25288%2529.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-g_d-zZxRTTg/T1LnX0jceZI/AAAAAAAABIM/RWKzigUS7_w/s400/photo%25288%2529.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5715885273516898706" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Both girls are making excellent mothers and I'm grateful Lora at Rocking Dog Ranch sold them to me!

Also known as <a href="http://dysphemisms.blogspot.com/2010/11/canadian-journey.html">Canadian Journey on my blog.</a> Success and 2 months later Rye and Co. were born!<br /><br />This December, I made the journey again with a dear friend for a different purpose: Filming for <a href="http://www.sheepdogtrainingcourses.com/">Sheepdog Training Courses</a>.

I was glad to have been once before as the journey felt more familiar. Across the border and then across the Rockies, we found our destination warm and welcoming after a grueling day of travel in icy passes.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_g3dp1wDzyM/TwPhrlv6B2I/AAAAAAAABFw/LWoBM0JEx4s/s1600/sunrise-altapete-black-sign.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 242px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_g3dp1wDzyM/TwPhrlv6B2I/AAAAAAAABFw/LWoBM0JEx4s/s400/sunrise-altapete-black-sign.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693642492910110562" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:78%;" >The first hints of sunrise at Alta Pete Farm</span><span style="font-size:78%;"><br /></span></div><br />Each morning I would get up and walk dogs, then breakfast.

Her mother was a feral ACD who had her pups under someone's porch and then declared it a "no entry" zone. Animal control came and collected mom and pups.

There were 2 that looked exactly like mom, 1 that looked like a yellow lab, 2 that were black with tan points and smooth coats and then there was Paddy.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MxiNaCMOdSY/Tuzdj8k81WI/AAAAAAAABCA/O2KXr37kktU/s1600/paddyglasses1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MxiNaCMOdSY/Tuzdj8k81WI/AAAAAAAABCA/O2KXr37kktU/s400/paddyglasses1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687164039088362850" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Photo by Salamandir</span> </span></div><br />Failing fostering Paddy was not easy but it was my best failure to date! She developed pneumonia and required tube feeding and treatments every 2 hours. I became attached to her and eventually broke my lease, moving to a house where dogs were allowed so Paddy could live with us. I ended up being glad. When she was 7 months old Paddy bit a man on the leg who tried to steal my backpack downtown.<br /><br />Our constant companion, Paddy came along on camping trips, our honeymoon and family vacations along with Allie. She was an easy puppy but a difficult adolescent. She had energy to spare and was destructive. She ate an entire tray of Costco muffins, innumerable sticks of butter, dug craters in the yard where the previous tenant's dalmatian had buried toys and bones. She peeled a square of linoleum off the kitchen floor and pulled down curtains.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PXsrB1KXmM4/Tuzdj-XKrPI/AAAAAAAABB0/JVAk3qLNrx8/s1600/pama101803.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PXsrB1KXmM4/Tuzdj-XKrPI/AAAAAAAABB0/JVAk3qLNrx8/s400/pama101803.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687164039567420658" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Photo by M. Feyrecilde<br /><br /></span></div>In spite of this turbulent adolescence, Paddy grew into a stately and stable adult dog. She was bottle raised and yet had some of the finest dog communication skills I have ever seen. Because of this, Paddy became my demo and stimulus dog for teaching obedience classes and seeing private lessons for clients with reactive dogs.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wqkm002n028/TuzejpoGeaI/AAAAAAAABDg/jz3IMAfo1Gk/s1600/paddy-serious.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wqkm002n028/TuzejpoGeaI/AAAAAAAABDg/jz3IMAfo1Gk/s400/paddy-serious.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687165133512931746" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Photo by Look Back Photography</span> </span></div><br />Paddy was my heart dog. She knew my feelings and emotions. She was thoughtful and determined. Paddy had an independent streak that meant we often compromised. I feel lucky to have been able to understand her and trust her well enough to realize that compromise was not a failure of our relationship: it was simply what we did. When it was important, Paddy would do things my way. When it didn't matter, she did things partly her own way.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-65o1i3awc_c/TuzdkTbgD8I/AAAAAAAABCQ/zFUtsPSfccg/s1600/paddyreigns.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-65o1i3awc_c/TuzdkTbgD8I/AAAAAAAABCQ/zFUtsPSfccg/s400/paddyreigns.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687164045222744002" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Photo by KMM Portraits</span> </span></div><br />She was a dignified dog and did not particularly like to cuddle but loved to be stroked and to lay with her head on my lap or at the foot of the bed.

Agility was not her first love but she enjoyed it and did it for me because I enjoyed it. Yet another example of our many compromises. Demonstrating exercises and socializing (and disciplining) puppies during obedience classes was where she made many of her friends and fans. There was something stately about her lying on a down stay with her front paws crossed while I taught a class of hooligans. She could be trusted to stay indefinitely unless something required her intervention, such as a dog growling at me.<br />An excellent judge of character, Paddy could be trusted to be friendly to friends and those who were non-threatening and aloof to those who deserved it. She would defend me without question and I never worried about being in class or even going for a walk alone if Paddy was with me.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9VxRYI3SKhY/TuzkCiA5FrI/AAAAAAAABEQ/8RRitaT9G-g/s1600/paddylacey-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 247px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9VxRYI3SKhY/TuzkCiA5FrI/AAAAAAAABEQ/8RRitaT9G-g/s400/paddylacey-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687171161603511986" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Photo by Tien Tran Photography</span></span><br /></div><br />Paddy was a stimulus dog. She could make herself virtually invisible to other dogs by using non-confrontational body language, or she could act interested and friendly. She would stay for long periods without me while I helped a client do graduated approaches or approach-retreat sequences. A confident dog, she never reacted if a fearful dog put on a threat display and she did not require my assistance to behave appropriately. Paddy saved many dogs and repaired many dog-handler relationships in her work as a stimulus dog.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DPAf_7uxeto/TuzgTYnY7tI/AAAAAAAABD8/NZnerFQ1d0Q/s1600/sackedout.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 273px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DPAf_7uxeto/TuzgTYnY7tI/AAAAAAAABD8/NZnerFQ1d0Q/s400/sackedout.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687167053091892946" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Photo by Salamandir</span><br /></span></div><br />I could write for days the wonderful memories I have of Paddy. Paddy's favorite places were the beach and open fields with tall grass. She loved to run and chase our stunt kites as we flew them above the sand, eventually plopping down panting heavily with a big grin on her face. She never enjoyed swimming but would always wade in up to her chest. In tall grassy fields she would leap like a deer or get the zoomies and race around as quickly as possible, cutting swaths with her body between the stalks. We would play hide and seek in the head-high grass, I would sneak away and then call her and she would track and find me, overjoyed when she was successful.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CT317nSkhLw/TuzgT88NuZI/AAAAAAAABEE/eI5d6Q0CO8o/s1600/beach1-1-05.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CT317nSkhLw/TuzgT88NuZI/AAAAAAAABEE/eI5d6Q0CO8o/s400/beach1-1-05.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687167062842915218" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Photo by M. Feyrecilde</span><br /></span></div><br />As she aged and neared the end, Paddy developed seizures and anxiety. She became progressively more senile and it was terrible to see her in that state, sometimes lucid and very "Paddy," sometimes confused and worried when she used to be such a strong and immutably confident dog. When the end came, it broke my heart and my heart still aches for her absence. But in a small way it was a relief to let her go from her suffering of seizures and confusion.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rtNqQODeDHs/TuzejLiegrI/AAAAAAAABDU/7qrDowL1C8I/s1600/paddy-smile-age13.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rtNqQODeDHs/TuzejLiegrI/AAAAAAAABDU/7qrDowL1C8I/s400/paddy-smile-age13.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687165125436277426" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Photo by Look Back Photography</span><br /></span></div><br />A dignified soul with a joyful streak, Paddy taught me how to be patient and calm, the value of confidence, the absoluteness of consistency and the depth of friendship possible between a woman and a dog. Ultimately she has also taught me how to say goodbye and know that I can survive with a piece of my heart gone. These lessons will stay with me a lifetime and that is part of the legacy of Paddy.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9m-WMC_lfws/TuzeiVcVq7I/AAAAAAAABC4/aX23tzR6OMM/s1600/monique-paddy-2010-3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 321px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9m-WMC_lfws/TuzeiVcVq7I/AAAAAAAABC4/aX23tzR6OMM/s400/monique-paddy-2010-3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687165110915017650" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Photo by Look Back Photography</span><br /></span></div><br />I will always love her and she will always be with me in memory.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EqlKmkZl4aU/Tuzl86a110I/AAAAAAAABEo/C7h9gOh0BxA/s1600/paddy-tattoo.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 246px; height: 231px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EqlKmkZl4aU/Tuzl86a110I/AAAAAAAABEo/C7h9gOh0BxA/s400/paddy-tattoo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687173264098842434" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Ink by Ed Lott at Slave to the Needle Tattoo</span></span></div>Moniquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17590279128673190945noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5894243957904000364.post-91599465977595863532011-12-14T19:09:00.000-08:002011-12-14T19:50:00.327-08:00Happy 1st Birthday, Rye!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mhccbX18kpg/Tulted-hWzI/AAAAAAAABBQ/QjbyxYUyheQ/s1600/rye-10months-birthday.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 347px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mhccbX18kpg/Tulted-hWzI/AAAAAAAABBQ/QjbyxYUyheQ/s400/rye-10months-birthday.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5686196374742326066" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Photo by <a href="http://www.lookbackphotography.com/">Look Back Photography</a><br />Editing that ruins Look Back's work by Monique<br /></span></div><br />Today is Rye's (and Sagan's and Ben's and Reba's) first birthday.<br /><br />Rye is a charming dog who is easy to live with. He is definitely becoming a teenager, testing my patience at times. Lora can tell you she has to remind me that "f*#&@r" is not a name or a command ;) He looks lovely on sheep and is now ready to work several times a week. He enjoys agility training for fun and I think he will be a great demo dog for obedience classes as he continues to mature.<br /><br />I love my Rye. He is a neat blend of both his parents, athletic and affectionate, intense and calm, fun and serious. I am enjoying our journey together. Thanks Diane Pagel and Scott and Jenny Glen for helping me bring such a neat pup into the world.<br /><br />So Happy Birthday, Rye. I am looking forward to many happy years for us together!Moniquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17590279128673190945noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5894243957904000364.post-60792856055603458982011-11-17T11:40:00.001-08:002011-11-17T11:41:57.462-08:00Small FavorsWell, to all of our surprise, the ewe lamb continues to live. She is eating and drinking some, and we are going to start turning her out for short periods and see if she can act like a sheep a little at a time. She could still die any day, but I'm happily surprised she is hanging on for now.<br /><br />The katahdin with the leg wounds is doing very well and turned back out with the rest of the flock.Moniquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17590279128673190945noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5894243957904000364.post-65128910136103508302011-11-12T17:33:00.000-08:002011-11-12T17:40:41.796-08:00Bad NeighborsAlas, we have a bad neighbor where our sheep live. She has allowed her dog to run loose and savage the sheep 3 days in a row. Two ewes are badly wounded, and one is looking like it might be a loss. Time will tell, the vet came out and said the ewe lamb deserves a chance to try and live, and so we are giving that to her. If we were running a larger commercial operation she would be an obvious cull, but she is well below finishing weight and with so few sheep we have the extra time to give her some special attention.<br /><br />I hate the idea of killing dogs, but I'd have no compunction about shooting this one. The poor dog, it is not her fault that her owner is irresponsible and not keeping her safe. But my sheep do not deserve to be terrorized and I don't deserve the financial losses nor the sadness and disappointment.<br /><br />Animal control is some help but not much, advising us to "take care of" the dog ourselves. I went to the field bright and early today ready to ambush the dog, but it stayed away. Hopefully the dog and her owner moved out today as was planned and the sheep will get some peace.<br /><br />Lucy and I are on our way out for our evening vigil of pain medication and antibiotics by headlamp. Lucy is such a wonderful partner in all of this, I feel blessed as always to have her help (Thanks, Diane!)<br /><br />I know it is just a sheep, but suffering is not meant for any animal and I hope she either improves swiftly or passes swiftly without a great deal of suffering in between.Moniquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17590279128673190945noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5894243957904000364.post-77762746094789075302011-10-14T22:31:00.000-07:002011-10-14T23:38:00.555-07:00CurmudgeonlyI'm getting old, and that's a fact. I suppose there's no escaping it, though it might make sense for me to try and come to terms with my pathologic fear of death as it inches closer, a minute... an hour... a day at a time. I don't bounce as well as I once did, if I hurt myself it actually hurts. I have the feeling every day that life is short, and so I'd better spend each day doing something that is both important and useful to me at that moment.<br /><br />cur·mudg·eon <span class="pronset"><span class="show_spellpr" style="display:inline;"><span class="prondelim">[</span><span class="pron">ker-<span class="boldface">muhj</span>-<span class="ital-inline">uh</span>n</span><span class="prondelim">]</span></span></span><span id="hotword" name="hotword"> <span style="font-style: italic;">noun</span>. </span><span id="hotword"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); cursor: default;" id="hotword" name="hotword">a</span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); cursor: default;" id="hotword" name="hotword">bad-tempered,</span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); cursor: default;" id="hotword" name="hotword">difficult,</span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); cursor: default;" id="hotword" name="hotword">cantankerous</span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); cursor: default;" id="hotword" name="hotword">person.</span> </span><br /><br />I am stubborn, set in my ways. I feel like the world is traveling down a path I'm not interested in taking. I suppose this happens to everyone at one time in life, when the young people are harder to understand than the older ones. The things that bring me comfort are now passe, cliche or old-fashioned. My taste in movies is now "campy," my taste in music is now "oldies." Funny, I don't feel much different than I did at 17, except I'm a bit softer now. I think one of the secrets no one tells you as a kid is that once you get to your set point (a little different for every person, but I think it comes near the end of adolescence), you feel pretty much the same forever.<br /><br />It is possible I feel the same since I've decided not to have kids, and so have not gone through that dramatic transition in life. That being said, I'm not ready to give that theory all that much credit since the quality of a person's personality and relationships is found to be the most salient predictor of their personality, behavior and relationship satisfaction after a child is born (Cowan & Cowan, 2000).<br /><br />I like my life. I am grateful for technology and the many conveniences it affords. Without technology I would not be able to reach out (pathetic though it may be) in a blog, connect with old friends en masse via Facebook posts or contact 8 people at once to remind them of a team meeting. I would not be able to serve on a board of directors comprised of people from around the country and see and talk with them via Skype in real time. I would not be able to do all my shopping from home, have every bit of information imaginable right at my fingertips or stream content at a moment's notice. But this technology comes at a price in my mind. It has taken some of the intimacy out of my communication, some of the passion out of how I spend my time.<br /><br />I miss "real" communication. Letters from a friend, written longhand. Going to the mailbox and finding an actual letter from a friend warms my heart. That small piece of paper scrawled in pencil or ink, posted across the country or around the world is a time capsule. It represents those few moments when my friend was thinking of me, caring about me and wanting to give me the gift of his or her time and thoughts. email is not the same as a letter. It is entirely utilitarian. Communicating by email allows me to keep in touch with friends when my life is too busy compared to what it ought to be. It allows customers to reach me and me to reply quickly even at hours that are entirely unreasonable. But it does not hold the same sentiment for me as a handwritten note.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qO88y--b1v0/TpkoAdWpMeI/AAAAAAAABAQ/nSFFcT62NUw/s1600/IMG_20111014_224631.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qO88y--b1v0/TpkoAdWpMeI/AAAAAAAABAQ/nSFFcT62NUw/s320/IMG_20111014_224631.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5663601994739823074" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Some of the many letters that live in a lovely cedar box full of memories</span><br /></span></div><br />I'm finding as I talk to younger people that my sentimentality dates (and ages) me. Many would *rather* receive an email or a text than a letter. I suppose I have considered electronic communication a necessity but not a pleasure. This boggles my stubborn, cantankerous mind. It makes me think thoughts with short words.<br /><br />I miss making art for the sake of doing so, and for the sake of making it a gift. Holding a pen, a paintbrush, a stick of chalk pastel in my hand and putting emotions onto paper. I often used to craft handmade greeting cards to give as boxed sets to friends. The market for such a gift is expired. No one sends letters anymore.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4ehPix7qLeI/TpkoBScDPKI/AAAAAAAABAw/92pgMtLpUys/s1600/IMG_20111014_225601.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4ehPix7qLeI/TpkoBScDPKI/AAAAAAAABAw/92pgMtLpUys/s320/IMG_20111014_225601.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5663602008989580450" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Some old samples of handmade greeting cards</span><br /></span></div><br />The art store is one of my meccas, I can spend hours walking down the isles fondling the stock. I am particularly fond of handmade papers. I suppose that makes me old-fashioned, yet again. In this world, my "art" has become things created electronically. Websites, logos, digital imaging. The tangibility that satisfied my soul is somehow less with those forms of media. Yet the people who are young right now will know this as usual, and will be sated by it in a way I am not.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q7MjAnFS2yE/TpkoAvwcoGI/AAAAAAAABAg/FDwXJK86CxQ/s1600/IMG_20111014_225513.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q7MjAnFS2yE/TpkoAvwcoGI/AAAAAAAABAg/FDwXJK86CxQ/s320/IMG_20111014_225513.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5663601999679889506" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Yep, an old scholarship portfolio full of hardcopy work</span></span><br /></div><br />I miss having a hard way to prove to myself I did work. Notebooks, papers corrected in red pen, pages of calculus homework meticulously drawn in 0.3mm mechanical drafting pencil. I have been back in college for quite some time now. The sum of my efforts could be reproduced a hundred times and stored on a microSD smaller the size of my thumbnail. The portability is wonderful, and certainly I can type more quickly than I can write in longhand. My laptop is my favorite friend. But there's something vague about words on a screen put through the "network of tubes." I don't feel as accomplished: because my ruler is so out of date. Yes.... I said "ruler." The evidence of my curmudgeonly ways mounts with every sentence.<br /><br />Recently I acquired an eReader. It is ridiculously convenient, especially when I have numerous books required for school that are available cheaply and instantly on eReader. Yet there remains a special place in my black, cold and aged heart for paper books. The kind with worn covers and dog-eared pages that I've read a dozen times. The kind with dust in the binding and real glue binding the individually sewn signatures into a hard cover printed with gold foil. The kind that give old bookstores the wonderful musky smell of books and the people who love them. The very impracticality of my nostalgia about books should leave me aghast at myself. But I am not.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qlLxXp29Aso/TpkoBB7JzzI/AAAAAAAABAo/dvWTwIMyfVQ/s1600/IMG_20111014_224837.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qlLxXp29Aso/TpkoBB7JzzI/AAAAAAAABAo/dvWTwIMyfVQ/s320/IMG_20111014_224837.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5663602004556631858" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">A few books read a few dozen times</span><br /></span></div><br />I miss being unavailable, and being available for <span style="font-style: italic;">real</span> communication. My smartphone makes my life more streamlined, and text messaging is convenient and very reinforcing. Every time we hear the beep-beep and it is followed by a few characters from a friend, we all get the ultimate tiny social version of click-treat. But I miss having the time for real conversations over coffee or sitting in the park. For talking my thoughts out beginning to end instead of being barraged by a series of half-thoughts and asinine abbreviations 165 characters or fewer. Yes, I like having text messaging, but I feel like texting has become the normative mode of communication for anyone younger than myself. Text allows a level of anonymity and social distance that can open people to say things they would not say in person. It accelerates a false sense of intimacy because accountability for statements is not required. Texting is a unilateral opportunity to throw thoughts and words at someone else without having to (or wanting to) see their reaction, or be accountable for the effects. I feel the same way about internet "dating."<br /><br />In pixels on a screen, we can each create who we want other people to see. The screen is a shield behind which we can hide, and upon which we can scribble a caricature of ourselves. It can be false advertising.<br /><br />The ultimate irony perhaps is the way I've delivered these thoughts. Electronically. Pixels on a screen. I feel somewhat better having written it down longhand first in my usual journal so my nostalgic self will have it forever, it can become dusty and musty with the rest of the paper trail of life I've left for myself. Now I've left little electronic breadcrumbs of my last few weeks' musings for the rest of you, as well.<br /><br />Peace be with you.<br />MoniqueMoniquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17590279128673190945noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5894243957904000364.post-85421171452034251592011-09-20T21:11:00.000-07:002011-09-20T21:28:17.976-07:00Tell me... erm... heck what day is it again?Laura from <a href="http://crooksandcrazies.blogspot.com">Crooks and Crazies </a>posts these fun lists of questions every Thursday. I'm experimenting with my first answer and it is even on the wrong day for extra points :)<br /><br />1. If you're not at the 2011 Sheepdog finals this weekend what are you planning to do?<br /><br />In between lamenting about how I am not at the finals and not watching the live feed of the finals or reading tweets of the finals or explaining to myself why I am not doing any of those things, I am running Zora in an agility trial, taking 2 exams, writing a paper, taking Lucy to sheep twice and cleaning house.<br /><br />Of course, during all of those activities I will be obsessively refreshing the browser on my smartphone to read said tweets and yammering on to agility people who don't care about the contents of tweetdom...<br /><br />2. One item you NEVER walk onto the trial field (any trial field, or training class will suffice) without?<br /><br />Well, hopefully my dog? I would normally say my whistle, but I did forget my whistle whilst doing chores the other day. Interestingly I just whistled like I would ordinarily whistle a tune and Lucy somehow by divine providence understood what I meant and was a gem. I would like to learn to finger whistle, in which case I could successfully avoid going ANYWHERE without my whistle, barring any unforeseen amputation events.<br /><br />3. <a href="http://zeke.typepad.com/eyehehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifrdewe/">Katy</a> wants to know if you have a pre-run ritual that you observe?<br /><br />Yes. I work my dog within 48 hours before the trial whenever possible. The day before the trial I make sure my dog gets a moderate exercise day. Once on the trial field, I try to attend the handler's meeting. If I've missed the meeting I find the course director first thing and ask the course. Then I will make sure the dogs are set up in the car with water and shade and go visit and chat for a while, just getting the lay of the land. I pick up a running order if I did not print one at home, then fold it into 6ths with the current runs showing. (Check run order every 5 minutes ad nauseum until returning home.)<br /><br />4 runs before mine, I take Lucy out and let her watch 2 lifts if I can. I used to do this only 2 runs in advance, but then one day the 2 dogs before mine never found the sheep. I, of course, went to the post wondering if I had my cell phone in my pocket to dial 911 before I died of heart palpitations. Lucy, cool as a cucumber in spite of my palpable insanity, ran out and found the sheep anyway. I did not allow her stellar performance to prevent me from developing a new obsessive habit of going out 4 runs in advance rather than 2. Between these spotting sessions I put Lucy back in her crate in the car if it is at all feasible. If that is not feasible, we go somewhere out of sight and quiet. After the last spotting session, I get out my crook and double check my whistle.<br /><br />When we are just walking around relaxing and visiting, Lucy is generally off leash. When we are getting ready to spot and run, I leash her.<br /><br />1 run before mine, we find a quiet place near the gate to sit and relax. I make a mental picture of how I want my run to go, and Lucy gets a neck massage.<br /><br />4. How old were you when you had your first real kiss?<br /><br />I was 5, my brand new dog was 2 ;)<br /><br />5. <a href="http://sclmarm.livejournal.com/">Bonnie </a>wants to know what you do for yard mud control during the winter?<br /><br />We have a small potty yard for the dogs. There are 2 trails they tend to make it a habit to travel so we spread shavings on those trail areas from autumn through spring. There is an astroturf doormat outside the door and a heavy duty high-profile doormat inside the door which catches most dirt. If it is really horrible outside I also wipe paws.Moniquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17590279128673190945noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5894243957904000364.post-61654957395094927732011-09-13T19:52:00.000-07:002011-09-13T19:54:07.179-07:00USBCHA Finals DVDsThere is a contest located <a href="http://www.sheepdog.com/2011/09/win-a-dvd-box-set-of-the-2011-national-sheepdog-finals.html">HERE</a> to enter to win the full set of DVDs from this year's USBCHA Sheepdog Finals.

I am looking forward to the day that Rye gets a chance to start getting his feet under him and testing out his own shoes for size. (It's a good thing I look terrible in hats as I'm pretty sure they don't make hats small enough for me.)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kq1CyYqyJNU/TmrBFx7pKPI/AAAAAAAAA_8/lQelyK9NsiA/s1600/rye-4days-face.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 364px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kq1CyYqyJNU/TmrBFx7pKPI/AAAAAAAAA_8/lQelyK9NsiA/s400/rye-4days-face.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650540987536713970" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style:italic;font-size:85%;" >Rye in December, 2010 at 4 days of age</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></div><br />Congratulations, Scott and Don on your recent successes at the Canadian National, Soldier Hollow and the prelims at Meeker.
