The kids and I are now starting to get back into some activities. Shara has now had 3 herding lessons and has another one this coming Saturday. She LOVES playing with the sheep.

The lady giving the lessons said she would have no trouble getting her first level herding title, and she keeps trying to talk me into taking her to the Sheltie Nationals next year. I checked and it is in St. Louis so not a bad drive for me. They only have herding one day so Shara would need to qualify on both sheep and ducks to finish her title at the Nationals. Which would be really cool! So her next herding lesson we are going to work on ducks as well as the sheep.

Tara has been to an agility lesson. The lady doing them is the one who is going through the mess with her ex long time friend and her soon to be ex H. She has a son out of Tara that she has put an Agility Championship on so she is a good one to be helping with Tara. Would be neat if Tara were ready to do first level agility at the Nationals if I am already there for Shara next year.

Frostbyte will be starting obedience classes in January. No way to have him ready by April as I don't plan to rush him!

Shimmer isn't doing anything yet, and I don't have anything lined up for him yet. But kicking some ideas around on trying tracking with him. That gives all of the kids something to do. Breeze has already done her stuff and now just oversees.
