Monday is usually the official 'lazy day' here, and today was so lazy that even the dogs got the day off. :-) Which is fine with them, they are out playing and enjoying the cooler weather. Their smooth buddy, Mal, is here for a visit while his owner goes out of state, so Tess and Chase are thrilled.
Even though the heat in TX is pretty bad, I'm hoping we can get back into the training swing of things. I'd like to have them ready to step into the Rally ring by January. I'm sure they could go in early, but I want them to be really ready. No "scholping" through Rally runs around here.
Charm is starting to blow. Going to put her up on the table tonight and try to work on her some. I'm toying with the idea of shaving her down. She's 9 and is packing such a coat. Guess I'll see how much I can get out of her before I make up my mind.
I need to start dusting off the Rally signs and equipment and getting things ready. Chase and Tess will be ready to run courses in the near future.

Charm was my foundation in collies. She produced several nice gals for not only me, but other breeders to carry on with as well. She now hangs around the house, bossing the younger ones and helping wtih their training.

Dickon was my first show and performance collie, as well as my juniors dog and 4H partner. Most importantly, he was my heart and soul dog. Over the years I learned so much from him, and we were a team that some people could only dream about.
4H State BIS Tex-Sun Legacy In Gold
Ah Lacey. She was the homebred sable merle firecracker that took the ring by storm. Weekend after weekend she was picking up the points, huge specialty RWBs, mulitple BOVs and having the time of her life doing it. She was also my partner my first and only time in 4H junior showmanship, where we took 3rd in a class of 25. Lacey was the OTCH dog that didn't come to pass. She will always be missed.
