The Crones' Chronicle

We’ve just returned from Monte Vista, Colorado, site of the Nicomodes Sheepdog Trial. Although Liddy and Linda weren’t on their game this past weekend, we all had a great time anyway! The sheep were tough and the field was deceptively tricky to even attempt to stay on-line. We got around the course each day…even made our sheds and one pen! But, no cigar. As they say, “that’s dog trialing!” Back to the drawing board and trying to chalk up our 10,000 hours of practice!
PS Lisbeth and I got in TWO rounds of golf in Monte Vista. Cute little 9 hole course with some very difficult greens. And,…inexpensive, too!
Thanks Dan and Tina for your hospitality! And, special thanks to Dan for letting me work sheep at his ranch! Time well spent!

Just returned from Kelley Creek in Huntsville, Utah. Had a really wonderful time. The folks at the Farm sure know how to treat us handlers and our dogs! Thanks to all who worked so hard behind the scenes to make it a success.
Here is a little postcard-video of what it all was like (plus top ten results in Open).
