    I'm still planning on coming. Car's all gassed up and clean. Dog's clean. Garmin's programmed... but I can't find my 1 G xD card for my camera.

    *is very excited*

    I have a good many pictures of the Dog.com attendees and will put them up when I get the chance - I got some good ones (well, not high quality but nice shots).  I've got church and getting ready for VBS this afternoon and evening.  I should be able to do it tonight after church though!

    It was wonderful seeing Stephanie and Wally, and Michelle, and meeting Mystic, CoCo, and Misha.  It's funny how you get a notion of what a dog is like from pictures and often just like meeting people IRL, the dog is totally different.  For one thing, I didn't realize Misha was a Pyr mix!  I just realized, duh, we should have played with CoCo on the lambs in the round pen.  Arrrghh, and you guys came such a long way!  Shoot.  Okay, that settles it, you've got to come back, and soon.  Hee!

    I have some really good pictures, but not very many. I was busy stalking my dog who was being anti-social. I had lots of fun, and I'm sure Misha did too! It was really cool to meet everyone and to watch the BCs do their thing. It has piqued my interest in things such as herding, and my interest in Border Collies in general (a dog I've been considering for my next dog... in a few years).

    I'll just add pictures to your post whenever you post. Because they aren't yet uploaded, and I have a class at 2, and I need to plan re-doing Misha's area downstairs.

    I got some pictures too so hopefully I'll get them uploaded tonight and post some. 

    We had a great time.  It was really nice to put some faces with names.  I enjoyed watching the dogs work the ducks and sheep, I'd never seen that before.  I also learned a new word, lol, I never knew that separating some sheep from the group was shedding (watch, I probably heard wrong and that's not the right word *g*)

    Oh, Becca, I wonder how Co-Co would have reacted to the lambs.  Well, there's no other way around it, we'll have to bring her back down :o)
