Thank you for the many welcomes. Wow, how nice.

 

I am so pleased to hear that Andrea and company will be joining us for our Thanksgiving party - the beer is chilling, the wine cooling, and I have a special Southern treat ready for all - Coffee Lace! And if after all that you want to run dogs you are welcome to. We are near full already. We have enough nursery dogs to qualify one, and I suspect more than that once I know how many Dean is bringing.

 

Yes, I am trying out a new dog - Duke, a.k.a. Luke. But I can't stand that name (hope I did not offend anyone) so I am using Luke and he doesn't seem to mind. I have been working him in the small field where the handlers sat for the last trial. He works very nicely so far. His outrun seem quite nice, maybe a little square at the start but he goes deep and seems to have nice balance.

 

He has wonderful pace - what a change from having to get all over Jake. I am putting him on whistles and he seems to be getting the idea. He doesn't seem to understand the shedding stuff at all - so we will have to introduce him to that. Luke has had a very bad case of worms - and maybe more - when he arrived so I have been a bit easy on him till we get him in tip-top shape.

 

I am off to VA Tech for a sheep management workshop and then to GA for a trial this weekend and Moultrie during the week. See you all at the end of next week.
