That leaves Laszlo singled out, only needing majors, and Dorothy just needing a major to finish! Thanks to all judges, my handler Amie (for Laszlo) and friend Kylee (for Saturday and Monday)!
Dorothy, who is clearly very shy, begging for kettle corn from someone she's never seen.
I allowed one piece.
This was very brief and at the end of our lesson, but she is responding appropriately to some pressure and not just throwing herself at the sheep now!
She's got a bit of a break coming up but it'll be exciting to see how she continues to progress.
Yes, I'm horrifically awkward- I'm a bit afraid of sheep and getting a sprained knee cruciate tendon was the consequence today, but we'll get there. Happy to see her learning and developing past being silly.. I have a lot to learn.
Dorothy loves her sheep.
For now it's just fun and building confidence, then we'll get down to business.
Dorothy is herding approved now.
Lucas was there for a little confidence boost then she was happy to play with sheepies. Just um, ignore him and me, okay? 🤣
Yep, it's that time of year.
Dorothy had her first big girl show. She got no points but many compliments on her performance and amazing temperament.
Really made my weekend as I deal with a surprise surgery upcoming. Ugh!
We learned today that Dorothy LOVES ducks... and is not afraid of water.
