Some of the cute lamb action that occurred during today’s “Lamb Walk” for the winners of the Community Farm Land Trust’s Benefit Auction item that was donated by Fido’s Farm.
Here is Francine, a student in the advanced class of our agility program. She’s a rescue dog found as a stray in Mexico and was adopted by Stephanie Sisson, one of our instructors, in January of this year. She is 9 or 10 years old, only has the use of three legs and LOVES agility.
Many thanks to our farm staff and some great neighbors for all the hard work they put in making sure the Fido’s sheep have plenty to eat this winter.
Here is Ernesta, one of the Fido's Farm agility instructors, practicing part of an agility course with her young Poodle, Henri.

This weekend the Fido’s Farm agility crew had a great weekend at the USDAA Red Hot Rovers agility trial. We had a couple of new people come trial with us and a few students came to watch and help out. Thank you to everyone that helped out at the trial it is a great help and makes things go faster as you guys all know from class and helping take down equipment after class. - Teri Here is Otto standard run from Saturday.
