Well, first, we ran two dog teams yesterday, first of the fall training. My daughter and granddaughter were great handlers. Skinny won the honors to lead the first seven dog team , along with Buffy; then Ruthie, Lillen; Herman, Rosie and in wheel, Quattro, for a two mile run. All went very well with each dog.
The second team was led by Ruthie and Medio (Medio taking good commands in trial lead);
swing dogs, Sherpa and Yuki; followed by Herman, solo, and Kiddo in wheel. They did well, too, looking just slightly less polished than the A team. We did not take Matilda but will on the next run, in lead training.
Trent Herbst was in 0ur area, but fire in his kennel area sent them home early. He had to move all dogs and lost some personal property in the fire, as I understand it. We had planned to have a kennel visit but their hurried trip through took precedence, of course. Too much fire!

No rain. Predictions seem to be all off. But last word is that the Herbsts are fine/dogs fine.
We do have a fire plan here, we'd have to load and truck the dogs to the Brule River cabin, but with enough lead time we could do it safely.
