Extremes...

After stopping to fix a propane leak en route from the Suwannee River sheepdog trial to the Lazy J trial near Atlanta, Georgia, (blowing up really puts a damper on your trip) we were looking forward to two days of education from the two-time World Champion Aled Owen, the clinic graciously hosted by Dawn Boyce. Although Aled was deathly sick with a flu and we were all staying miles away from him, he soldiered on and gave a brilliant clinic. The first day was beautiful dog (and people) weather, sunny, slight breeze, 67 degrees (about 18 degrees Celsius for our metric friends up north)...fantastic. Today...well...pouring rain, wind, in the low 40s... Can you say "chilled to the bone"? But Georgia in February is a case of extremes, so we were prepared with wool and down, looking like proper Canadians, although a bit waterlogged.

Now that we are all saying lie down in Welsh, tomorrow is a day of young dogs having their go, and then we are back in action on Saturday with Open.
