Sunday Eweful Short status

Got home and crashed with a migraine. never pulled my camera out as it over 90 plus. Maid ran well but took a flyby on the drive which cost us major points and took us out of the placings (20 points worth!) but she ran great. Awesome shed. Nan ran at the late day in blazing heat and had a great run, place 8th, I think. Was in 5th for the longest time. Sheds were tough. We had a chute on the last leg of the drive and you had to stay at the post.

 

More tomorrow and scores. They had a double lift and Noelle and Karen tied for first. Thanks to Sue and George for a top notch trial.

 

Eweful Acres Saturday

Internet still spotty.  Nan ran at 5th spot. Went out well and nice outwork. The drive was a box drive with four set of panels. The second and third was a U turn around a tree with panel on each side. we went in the worn side but corrected but that cost us. Can out high, then got back on line. The sheep had no interest in going into the pen and were super sticky to the people. I went to the mouth and they trotted to me so then I scooted out of the way and Nan put them in. Very hard to shed. We got two to drop their heads and I angled them then called Nan through. She came in like a bolt of lightning and got a perfect shed. She got 77.

 

Maid ran late in the day when it was terribly hot. The sheep did not want to move but she made them go at a good clip. They had their heads buried in the bucket so I let her lift them, a little wobble but we got them online. Nice drive and at the tree one ewe slipped pas one panel. Missed the last panel by inches but a nice last leg. Excellent pen and shed. She got 74. It was hot so I really soaked her down. She was pleased with her efforts. Nan got 7th and Maid got 10th.

I am having a hard time uploading the  copy of the scores so you will have to wait until I get home.

Some Scores from Eweful Acres

Some scores but not all of them. Again, bad internet connection. Times out when I am uploading. I didn't run a dog today but helped with exhaust with Rainey.They also ran Novice and ranch.

 

Tomorrow Nursery and Open.



Eweful Acres Sheepdog trial arrival

Horrible iPhone service by AT&T so you might not get much from me. Novice, Ranch, Nursery and PN all run on Friday. Nursery and Open run on Sat and Sunday. I am running Maid and Nan.  I had Wynn signed up for PN but we are not quite teaming up yet so I pulled him. Rainey is along for the ride.

 

My dear friend, Kathy Davis is coming up on Friday and hanging out for the weekend. It will be good to see her. We first met at this trial 14 years ago. Tess ran in Novice and she brought the sheep down the fetch line in record time. We retired as her sheep suddenly sprouted wings and flew all over.

 

More tomorrow.....
