Just for Giggles

Every now and then we just do something for fun. When I was going through pictures from last month I stumbled onto these shots that I took of Meg and Cecil (Jax)'s first expirence with ducks. There really is no true purpose to dropping the pups in the pen except to see what they do, do they notice the ducks, do they keen up? Do they stay interested or do they try to turn into duck catchers. Ok, maybe there is a purpose...

Little Meg, driving-driving-driving....

Cecil (Jax), "I gottem"...he lost his duck privledges soon after, he tried to get them all right.

Wayne and Jake arrived home from Ogallala on Friday evening. Wayne was happy with his dog even though they didn't even make it on the boards. Sounds like they had a doosy of a draw, two nice heifers that would move off Jake nicely but a third that kept running off. When Jake would go to bring her back the other two would drift back toward the draw. He would get the renegade back with the group, adjust pressure to steer them up the pen just to have her squirt back out again. He said that Jake never gave up, just kept trying.

Yesterday afternoon Wayne worked on his and Jake's shedding to prepare for Wednesday. We go to the Iowa State Fair, sheep and cattle. Hopefully we will have better luck.
