Herding – August 22, 2012
Bear and I went to another herding lesson today. The skies were clear and the sun was shining so we got to work outdoors.

Last night, Bear and spent about 5 hours driving for the opportunity to get about 30-40 minutes of sheep herding in. If you think I am insane – you might be correct.
Agility….Again
Last weekend we went to our first agility trial in 3 years where I remembered a bunch of things I forgot, learned some new things and generally has a nice, hot, exhausting time!

Finally I realized that under the “Registered Name” portion of the certificate it read B.A. Bearacus, RAMCL,Continue reading “A Case for Keeping Rally-O Records”
Winter Tracking!
Well for some reason, 6 minutes has done wonders for my own motivation to get back into training with Bear.
