So excited for you. I know Molly very well; also met Mandy. She is usually the stock handler at the trials. I love Mandy's Guiness. Let us know what you get from her and send photos. Molly and Mandy also have Aussies. My Sam is related to Molly's Gus. Hope we meet at some of the AZ events. We live in Willcox.

Where did you get the shampoo? We are having the same problems with our Aussies. Nothing new around here. We do have inside and outside dogs. Might be from the cats; don't know.

When we had bottle babies it was hard for the dog to move them. THey were more like baby puppies and liked to ride in the golf cart. I think the lambs thought they were dogs too. Very stubborn and didn't necessarily stay with the person at all times.

No I don't but hubby does. They get fed before we do and maybe afterwards for clean up duty. I hate it when a dog stares at me while I'm eating. Just me.

We use hot dogs and never had that fail. Or else leftovers like chicken, steak, lunch meat. Just hide the pill inside. I used to use the pill down the throat method that also worked.

Tight tee shirt? What's that for?

We also watch CM and VS. They are interesting programs and to see all these clueless owners is truly amazing. Especially the one with the girls who were roommates letting their dogs go in the condo they were renting. Makes me glad we live in the boonies and that our dogs are able to be dogs.

We also watch too much TV. Going to cancel and get Netflix and Roku. Anyone else have it?

Yes, please take care of yourselves and your dogs. We are desert dwellers too.

You inspire me to do more things with my life. Thanks for letting me be a part of your adventures. Love the Blog!

You will love Vergil's book. We have also read Top Trainers Talk About Starting a Sheepdog and also enjoy the ideas.

Thanks for bringing up this topic. We have a male Aussie who is skinny too. Won't oatmeal give him the runs?

Our Aussies bark quite a bit too. Keesha gets a "shut" and Sam gets a "no bark." They don't always obey though. DH really hates the barking and yells at them which makes it worse. Luckily we live in the boonies so no one ever says anything. We have the best neighbors.

Welcome. There are others from AZ here. Where are you located? There are lots of dog related activities in Tucson and Phoenix area when the time is right. You might want to check out the herding club. www.azherding.com.

Not really sure what the limit is here in the county but no one here cares. We have great neighbors.
