WAY TO GO - Kelly and Drummer!!!
I wanted to call her today and it just slipped away from me this evening -
as I've been working on getting some AGSRA stuff ready for next week.
I am SOOO Proud of her and Drum!!
Kelly Malone, for those of you that don't know, is the most awesome
herding instructor you could ever ask for. Originally, I tried to get her to
work my dogs and she made me work them myself and now I'm hooked on this
herding stuff - that a few months ago I said I just didn't get. The very best
part is of course the relationship you earn working your dog in an honest
venue and she knew that was what would get me.
Watching Kelly and Drummer bring the sheep out, sort through them, return
the ones to the barn that were not going to work that session in their very
calm manner and soft voice approach can still amaze me but thanks to her
guidance Cody and I are working our way across the field and putting the
sheep away and bringing them out and of course still making mistakes but he is
calm and I am calm and the world is good. He loves working !! I love
watching him out there - in fact - that sometimes gets me in trouble because
I'm so amazed I forget they are my sheep - but, I'm much better than I used
to be and interestingly enough not only does Cody know that but the sheep do
also.
I'm so excited for her - if it were not already almost midnight I'd call
her now.
By the way Sandy - that new little girl she has, Rissa, - her Reva grand
daughter is a Cody daughter. She even shares her with me sometimes -
although as "the other gramma" I only get the left over kisses.

It has been quite a day at the first day of the National Herding Trials at
Hado Farms in Ohio.
Kelly Malone & I would like to brag about:
Karma's Dragon Drums v KcK, STDd, ATDs, HTAD lll, HRD lll He has now
finished his HXAd with a 3rd place
in this class at these National Trials.
He also finished his HXAs at the Saturday National (for all breeds)
trial with a 1st in class AND
a High In Trial. He also started his search for CH points with another
1st in class AND High in Trial at the (for
GSDs only) Saturday National trial. The two HITs he earned today are his
5th and 6th so far.
I wish that I could have been there to see Kelly & Drummer do their
"thing". Of course, Kelly owns Drummer and
has done all of his training, and he is also her working stock dog every
day.
Sandy
