Just got home this week from my annual trip to the WASCA trials in Alberta! My dog "Bill" competed in advanced cattle, sheep and ducks and we also took in the clinic with Steve Shope. I learned so much this past weekend, had a great time and brought home several Q's and high overall duck dog award for the weekend. So anyway, lots of fun and only one Q left on cattle and young Billybob has his WTCH...wow! Also, I had the opportunity to stop in at Tami Butterwicks place on the way to the trial and on the way home. Great facilities there to work stock and a big thank you goes to Tami for her help & pointers Wednesday night before the trial! We stayed at the fabulous KingWest hunting lodge up there, wonderful place to stay and super nice people. I would love to go back for a bit more vacationing sometime. Also, on the way back home we had a photo shoot with Tami, Barb, Payton and the dogs. What a blast! Icing on the cake after the visit was me heading home with an 8 week old Cairn Terrier pup from Tami! What a doll this little girl is, super super disposition and so much fun. She's going to make a great family pet (smaller package than what I'm used to) and I will likely give the whole conformation thing a whirl for kicks! So far we are calling her "Wiesel", which kinda mimics my friends BC puppy...but honestly Austin thought of it!!! I was going to call her "Bling"...perhaps she'll have 2 names!
