blackacre Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Well, I'm prepared to drink just as fast and often as you like if you come to Fosterfields Wobbin. Coming Charlie? We can take a picture of you through the vodka bottle to add to the collection. How about you Fosher? You could see my damn Kelpie, just ran him in Nursery for the first time, still without flanks. Quite entertaining. A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoofly Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Just put my entry in the mail A.! I'll be there with the tub of margaritas. Will have to refill it after that VBCA trial - missed ya! Â Mark says his drink was medicinal for his back. I dunno though, i think maybe he was hoping to join the giggle gang.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackacre Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Yahoo! Missing you guys too, big time. I'll just show up with my sorry little string of ponies and do my best. Hey, did you hear I have a puppy coming? A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoofly Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 From where? I have one that has your name written all over her. Determined little snot takes a licking and keeps on ticking. I decided not to sell her to a pet home thinking she'd be a good one for work and a real handful without it. That's how i've gotten left with 4 (yes, 4!) puppies. Yikes. A good work home will turn up i'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackacre Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Hmmm. Call me crazy, but I'm thinking about it. Spottie/Link, right? How about you bring her/him to Fosterfields? The other one is coming from the big guy, Sam's getting one too. Don't know much more than that! A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoofly Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 That'd be Night/Nell then. I like that Nell and she's pretty closely related to my Gael, the one you wanted a pup from. If Im remembering correctly, Nell is bred about the same as Gael's dam. Â Yep, mine is the Spottie/Link, a little tri bitch i'm calling Nan. Neat little pup and very determined and fearless. I hope to try her on some lambs at 4 months old, which would be right around Fosterfields. Of course, she might have *my* name on her after that depending on what she does.

Pipedream Farm Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 We sent our entries off. It's been a while since we've been to Fosterfields. Assuming nothing drastic changes here with my dog situation we should be there. Â Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackacre Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Ah, the gathering of the clans. Showing off your new purchase from Sam are you Mark? Hey Robin, I'm happy to hear that about the dam, you know I really like Gael and would definitely have taken one if those. And now you're tormenting me with Nan. Seriously, if she's still around at Fosterfields, I'll take a look at her. Quality trained dogs are scarce on the ground, so I might as well be taking a shot on some young 'uns while I wait.

Bill Fosher Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 I won't be going to fosterfields or any other trial in the forseeable future. No time to train dogs at the present, and I will be back to being a one-man show from mid-August until sometime in late Sept. to early Oct. Â Frustrating as hell. Â Actually, I will be at the NEBCA Fall Foliage trial, as it will be held here at Bramble Hill Farm. And we're probably going to have a novice and nursery trial on the Monday following the FF.

blackacre Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Awww Bill you're no fun. I don't think I've seen you since you came up to be my right hand man at the trial I did for JP a few years ago. Lighten up buddy, life's tooooo short not to fall in with the likes of us for a few weekends a year. A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoofly Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Hey A. - Yeah, finding trained dogs is getting pretty tough. I'm trying the scattergun approach - have 4 young pups and will weed my way through them looking for the best. Geez it'll be hard letting them go though. Nan's a cutie, i'd love for you to have her. Got a good feeling about her, i like how determined she is while still being a listener. We'll see, never know with pups! I can hardly wait to try them out.

I really enjoyed meeting Chris, if you see him tell him thanks for a nice job judging, I had a super super time at that trial. 4. A, I have your puppy here..Picked him up tonight...little eyeballs all tested today and passed. I am keeping him till Fosterfields for you...have Scotts too and will make sure they are properly futzed up by the time you get em! Oh on the eye papers, we named Scotts Bing...thehehehhehehe Will make sure they get all shots and wormed etc. Â Ok you can go back to being jealous..did I mention, I had a f'ing fabulous time today..sigh..I love dogs. Oh and I practiced double lifts, and Grace ACTUALLY found her sheep...sigh, maybe one day she will do it in public! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joan Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Sam Furman, do NOT come on this board again to brag about your fabulous training jaunts! At least not while your friends are working hard at "real" jobs and *missing* training because the rain won't stop. DO you hear me????

My god, what was I thinking...somwhere in the dim foggy recesses, I DO remember my husband telling me that we had three inches of rain the other day...did that register...OF COURSE NOT. Guess I better go call the wrecker to haul me out..I am BURRIED. UGHHHHHH I am STUPID. SIGH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipedream Farm Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Sam, you do it like this. Â Â Â Did you just bury your trailer or is your van buried too? Â Sam do you have puppy sheep and a small area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoloRiver Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Catching up on a bunch of old posts: Â Why is it getting hard to find good trained dogs? I guess I'm lucky I got Fly when I did and didn't decide to wait a couple of years. Â I was pleased to meet Bill at Bloomfield. He came up and said "You must be Melanie" at about the same time I was bitching about some spectator who wanted to fondle Solo. I figure Solo and I are pretty easy to recognize at sheepdog trials for a number of different reasons. Bill is younger than I thought he'd be. I also got to meet Margaret Wheeler and her gorgeous coyote-looking Nell. That was cool too. Â Bill, if you get a chance tell Chris I said hi. I really enjoyed scribing for him. I've been working on re-installing Fly's stop. Â Mark, I would love to come work dogs at your gorgeous place sometime. Next time I am down in VA I'll drop an email. Â Looking forward to seeing everyone at Fosterfields. My printer was on the fritz so my entry was postmarked a day late. I hope we get in -- Ranch is limited to 30 dogs so I'm worried.

Pipedream Farm Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 "Sam do you have puppy sheep and a small area?" Â Just wondering out loud. There is a young female that we think may be about ready for her 1st exposure but we don't have the right sheep. Â Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoofly Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Ya know, i'm thinking all threads from now on should have "Charlie Torre" somewhere in the subject line. Look how long this one has been going on... Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
