If you continue down our road, you will eventually find yourself almost to the lake. Many lost people detour down it looking for a direct path to the water.
This week the sheep too are looking down the road, trying to find where we took their babies.
Their work paid off with a 3rd and a 2nd in started jumpers!
This is Kane's first time on sheep and I can tell by the pictures he made me proud! (by the looks of it, he made my mother proud too)
After that they decided, "Why not try to get his Canine Good Citizenship title?" This is a test to prove that you have a well mannered dog that can handle himself in any situation.
Easy peazy. Kane added the CGC title to his name.
Since Lassie couldn't be there, Kane offered to stand in and proudly showed off his medal to a congratulatory (and all grown up)Timmy.
Good Dog, Kane!
He really appreciates the camper company putting his image on the outside.
On the bed?
Ah, yes. The Big Boy chair!
and then, to my surprise, she got in.
I have no idea what the fascination with that hole is but the next time Salem was outside,
This didn't go over well.
But there wasn't much to be done about it so they came to a mutual agreement:
and that you are sitting where you are sitting because that is how you planned it.
Skid would have liked to have joined us but he was busy saving the world from those dangerous gophers.
During the walk a spontaneous game of tug of war broke out between the pups
Laddie. 
(it's all about Lad don't you know)
It's never too early to start on bad habits.
When Katy's Great-Grandmother was young she had a licence to train Quarter horses to race on the track in California when no other woman did.
Perhaps Katy has inherited her Great-Grandmother's horsemanship skills...
I told him I saw no mouse but he and Poe settled in to wait and told me to go about my business.
I'm not sure how they do it but a mouse always appears. I suspect they have a secret ability to make mouse calls: 
Salem lets Poe run the chase but provides back up if needed.
Really, guyz. This is mean. Just get rid of it.
And I say once again, Mom. No. I do not have any mice in my house.

you gotta be pretty clever to sneak up on him now.
Only one year ago this month he looked like this
and when I met him he was so cute there was often a doubt that he could frighten anything, let alone a coyote.
Next month he has his big test- he'll be on his own for two months while we travel. There will be neighbors checking up on him but ultimately he'll be in charge of the farm.
