Letters to Numbers: What I did for Christmas
http://letters2numbers.blogspot.com/2009/12/what-i-did-for-christmas.html
Saturday, December 26, 2009. What I did for Christmas. Hi all, I know it's been a loooong time since I've posted. Suffice to say, a few readers were reading and making some very derogatory remarks. I got in a bit of a snit about it and stopped writing. I think I'm over it now. Those of you who read just to say nasty things. go away. You know who you are! So, Merry Christmas everyone else! After working on this for a while, we turned into the field and I crossed all my available digits. I've been admonish...

Letters to Numbers: New Place to Work
http://letters2numbers.blogspot.com/2009/05/new-place-to-work.html
Sunday, May 24, 2009. New Place to Work. I made a couple of calls, and found a place relatively close to home that I could work my dogs. The Kentucky Bluegrass. I had been watching the DVDs made at Scott's and one of the things that Scott said was that I needed to be determined. That stuck with me, and I decided to dig in my heels and be determined. She was going to run at the Bluegrass and we weren't going to embarrass ourselves. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A city girl with sheepdogs. I came...

Letters to Numbers: The Queen Comes Home
http://letters2numbers.blogspot.com/2009/05/queen-comes-home.html
Wednesday, May 20, 2009. The Queen Comes Home. I know I'm a bit tardy updating this blog. I have lots to share and will do so in a few posts. I'll try to do them in a relatively short time frame. The first weekend of April, 2009 was when I was going to get Stella. I had decided to fly out to Scott and Jenny's, spend some time with Scott and, if he had time, maybe take a lesson with him. After having gone to the lengths of sending her there, why not go and pick her up? That was a good decision for me.

Letters to Numbers: March 2009
http://letters2numbers.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 23, 2009. Losing a Faithful Friend. May 1994 - August 2008. Rest in Peace Old Man, I miss you more than you may know. Wednesday, March 18, 2009. He's not "Farty Pants" Anymore. August 2008. Bond had been mine for almost 3 weeks making him 11 weeks old. I had already dubbed him ‘Farty Pants’. He was as cute as a button and was really rolling with his new life living in a van. For all he knew he DID live in a van. Would he bite them? Would he go around them? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Letters to Numbers: The Journey Home
http://letters2numbers.blogspot.com/2009/05/journey-home.html
Wednesday, May 20, 2009. I'm not sure why I didn't get lost on my way back. I really wasn't paying attention to driving. My mind was reeling with everything. I was playing back everything that Scott had said. I was thinking about how great things were going to be now, how Stella and I were going to be stars! Fortunately, a nice young lad returning from a ski trip with his buddies offered to help me. What a gentleman. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. New Place to Work.

Letters to Numbers: Don't Put Her on Sheep That Will Run
http://letters2numbers.blogspot.com/2009/05/dont-put-her-on-sheep-that-will-run.html
Thursday, May 21, 2009. Don't Put Her on Sheep That Will Run. Stella likes to be in charge of her sheep so, for right now, don't put her on sheep that will run." This was Scott's advice to me, and what did I do when I got back from Virginia? I put her on sheep that will run. Apparently, Scott really meant it when he said not to put her on running sheep. It was a disaster! I worked her all weekend that weekend and made the decision to go to a place closer to home to work so I could work her more often.

Letters to Numbers: Getting to Know Each Other
http://letters2numbers.blogspot.com/2009/05/getting-to-know-each-other.html
Thursday, May 21, 2009. Getting to Know Each Other. I left for Virginia at around 4am and make the 12 hour trek down south. The last hour or so of the drive is pretty arduous. If I leave early then I can drive the hard part during daylight making it a bit easier. After an evening of wine and 'shine, some laughs and good friendship, we all headed to bed so we could make the drive home the next day. Once home, I was finally going to be able to show her off to my friends. Or was I? May 24, 2009 at 10:34 AM.

Letters to Numbers: May 2009
http://letters2numbers.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 24, 2009. Also known as The Bluegrass Stock Dog Trial. I had some supper, fed my dogs, visited with Dal and Kate for a bit, then went to bed. Stella and I were running the next day and I wanted to be well rested. Scott had watched our run. He said to me that Stella listened pretty good and that I should just keep doing what I was doing. His advice for my next go was 'do what you did, but stay away from the pen'. My plan for today was to improve on yesterday somehow. I decided that I would...

Letters to Numbers: February 2009
http://letters2numbers.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 26, 2009. Stella goes to Camp - Boot Camp that is. I had run Stella in two trials by the time she was 2. First at Dal and Kate’s, and again at a winter fun trial here in Ontario. Training her was challenging for me. I was struggling with trying to just get her to go around sheep nicely. I left her with Louise for a few weeks who managed to do a bit of ground work with her. I got to the right terminal and parked my van. Now what? How do I get her, in her crate, inside? The crate was a b...
