No HIC for Tara in '06

s
I blew it. I didn't get our paperwork in on time. So no fun herding for Tara this weekend. Hopefully we will get at least one herding lesson in before the year is out. We'll see how money is.

Have I mentioned that Tara thinks she's little? I think that she thinks she's the same size as Orion. As of late she has been stealing his favorite bed, which is round and about 14 inches in diameter on the inside. She gets all 4 ft in and her tail, head, and half of her body hangs out. I have yet to get a pic of her alone in it. The picture shows Orion in the bed and them together in front of the fire. So that gives you a size comparison. Did you know she lies in front of the fire too? What is she thinking? She's a collie, not a chilly chinese crested. I'd think she wouldn't want to be near it. Silly dog. She thinks she's little and cold.

Anyway, just wanted to post a quick update, we get to go to another Rally class on Monday, and then we get a few wks off from class and then we get a few more classes along with 3 days of trials. I've decided to not do Springfield with her, because I'm supposed to have boarding dogs for Thanksgiving and I don't think I'll be able to make it, and instead do at least 2 days of the Bay Colony show in Boston, instead of the one I was planning on, in addition to the day of Fitchburg. So we've been taking it easy with the training but we're going to be getting back to it again soon. Yesterday on our off-leash walk she got to enjoy the fine delicacy of lots of icky deer poop, which I wasn't crazy about, but I couldn't stop her from doing it every second. She's not eaten so much of it before, but hasn't seemed to have any ill-effects today, unlike her brother Orion, who threw up last night (assumedly from the deer poop) and has not been feeling well all day. Weird.

Hey Tara I'm kinda glad your mom goofed up the paper work! All this achieving is really starting to wear on me.

Love Tosca
