Teresa & Mike CHS - Our journal

[Mike CHS]

The herding dogs haven't been getting a lot of herding so they haven't been getting enough exercise other than when I take them with me to walk to the mail box which is at the end of our 1500' driveway. We decided to start taking the Ranger up to pick up the mail and they could make a whole lot faster pace than our walking. The pictures are of them running up the drive in front of us. When we get about 50' from the road we put them in a "stay" because our drive is adjacent to a rise and although there is little traffic out here it can be fast moving and they aren't road smart. The Aussie is a little informal in her stay but Lance goes into his herding "down". Coming back we make them stay till we get a hear start and then release them. The will come flying by to beat us home.

First- may I say I love your crocs! So phooey on everyone else! Can't wear them here as the thorns etc from the woods go right through 'em. Had to get the hard soled sloggers but they get hot. Sadly with all the rain here we are still wearing our winter Mucks! Yes. They are HOT!

You all look so high tech now! Amazing job you all have done.
The dogs look great!

I'm really glad you dropped in and yes I do like my Crocs. I teach my sheep to not step on my feet sort of but when we are in the chute I do wear steal toes.

What, you and Teresa don't want to run down the driveway with the dogs?

 

[Pastor Dave]

I have Crocs just like Mike's. I have an Adidas slip on "shoe" /sandal like the kids wear with black socks that I wear inside the house to avoid stubbing toes or stepping on Legos. I wear the Crocs for quick trips outside to avoid messing up the Adidas. And, the Crocs can get hosed off inside and out. My rabbits seldom ever stomp on my feet. Haha

Everything is sure looking good there!!....have ya gotten your rye grass seed yet?.....I will be getting some and sowing it within 2 wks, this inch and a half of rain will be enough to get it started.....

 

[Mike CHS]

I'm hoping to get it in the next few weeks but I need to cut all the fields first.

With no rain, I can’t even plan on rye grass yet. Or clover. Boo. I’ll probably plant in late September. The dogs are so pretty, I have a weak spot for Aussies. Love them! I bet they enjoy their run!
