The Barn

Well, it is almost 11:00 p.m. and I finally am sitting down to eat dinner which means I am too tired and it is too late to continue the Turner Trial series photos, so for tonight the Barn  comic will have to make do for your reading pleasure.

 

Lora and Nell at Turner

Lora Withnell put on the Turnery trial. The sheep were great and the trial was fantastic!

Lora ran Nell in Open.

Nell is quite keen.  Of course, I might be a bit biased since I imported her from Wales. Lora got her a few year ago and has done wonderful with her. They are a good fit.

 

Mel the Kelpie at Turner Trial

Mel the Kelpie, owned by Molly Westling, ran in PN.  He is a nice, steady Kelpie.

Nice and thoughtful

Really held that pressure to the draw.

This ewe so wanted to run to the exhaust but he convinced her otherwise.

Totally concentrated on the work at hand. 

Turner Trial - Reflection Janet and Jude

This is Janet and Jude at the Turner trial, just before their run. I named this "Reflection"

Really, Sarah....a mouse in my lap?

Sarah loves to bring me gifts. Her gifts are mice, shrews, mole, rats and sparrows. Personally I prefer large sums of cash or gold nuggets. She used to put them in my chair in the barn and for the longest time, I never looked down when I would sit in my chair. The semi-live rat that I sat on sure cured me of not looking. Most of the times, I fold up the chairs so she can't put her gift in it.

But Sarah loves canned kitty food. When she would bring me rats and mice, I would give her a can and toss the rodent away. She now will bring her gifts to the front porch. Yesterday, she was squalling at the front door so I opened it and she rushed in. I should have paid attention. I sat down and started to watch TV. She jumped in my lap and got comfy. Then I noticed the mouse in my lap and leapt up in the air, thus tossing Sarah and her gift to me on the floor. I am sure I screamed like a baby. You think I would learn by now, but this happens time and time again! 

She made sure, as you can see by this video, that she wanted me to see she was a great huntress.  I finally got her hint, got her canned kitty food and tossed the mouse. Now when she is at the screen door and is squalling, I look to see what is in her mouth.
