Well, so much going on and have to get miles. My first team today is young ones, so they wanted to pick up the pace and go further.
Buffy was a **star** in lead today, Yea, Buffy! Medio, a hunter, pulled her off the trail , twice, heading for birds, and each time I said, "no, gee over", and Buffy, without EVEN a tangle, pulled them back on the trail, good girl! I like running small teams because I can watch everyone.
She also did one great 'haw over', so she can do it! Once Rosie was hooked up, she stopped eating her harness and focused well.
Sherpa, wheel girl, is not quite two and she was, by far!, the easiest hookup today. I usually hookup back to front . Started with Herman in wheel and he was so excited he nipped my face with his teeth. He went back on the line for a bit.
Put Sherpa in wheel and she was A+ , stood still, waited. Next I hooked up Buffy and Medio in lead as Herman was still nuts. Finally had to turn on the motor so they'd line out. When I'm not running the older , savvy, polite leaders (Liller, Lillen, Frita and Skinny (not so polite, but savvy), the hookup is chaos, especially by myself.
But we did it and ran three miles. Herman was still wound, should have run another three miles, but it was a bit sunny and I ran them at 11/12 mph so enough for them. The lineout photo is on the return and they were all doing well. They had their salmon water and went back to think about the next time.
