Trip to and from Memphis also meant SHEEP!

 
 
 
 

As long as we were driving through Elizabethtown, we stopped at Libbye's to practice Alex with the sheep. Libbye worked him on the way down (barking is getting progressively less - good news!) and on the way back, we planned to just wander calmly among the sheep.

Bonus for Alex: We found Kristina, Holly and Edda (BSD) there and he got to really put his flirting genes into practice! What a run Edda gave him! It was three -four times around the car area and he was in her DUST! She finally let him catch up to her. Such fun to watch!

Our trip to Memphis is about friends and unofficial family with a dog show thrown in. That is good, since there were no points to be had this year. Saturday, Alex insisted on flirting with the only bitch in the ring and completely forgot why we were there. Guess he had his own agenda! ;-)
We always enjoy visiting with our old neighbors and they are wonderful to Alex and I. Another friend, Venice, went with us this year. The long drive was much more fun and we had a great time! 

Tall Stacks Music Festival

After a good morning run in the park, Alex took a nap and we went down to the Ohio River to celebrate the Tall Stacks Festival. Beautiful day - only problem is the river was high and running so fast that none of the boats went out this morning. We had our luncheon cruise at the dock - but the lunch was GRAND!
The night before, we took a Mardi Gras dinner cruise on the Natchez. Great food and we ran into some good friends. What more can one ask?

Alex qualifies for Herding Instinct Certificate, Judge Sharol Hathaway

 

Alex was still quite riled by the sheep, but he passed his Herding Instint Certificate Saturday.

By the time he worked with the sheep twice Saturday and then Sunday, he was getting much more calm.
