Today we went to the Meeker Classic. It was so much fun. We only stayed for 2 hours b/c Hadrian was making too much noise. Reagan was really into it. We are going to go back tomorrow and Sunday. The have something like 120 + dogs that compete. Then tomorrow they will be down to 30 dogs from today's eliminations. Sunday 12 dogs will compete to win the $20,000 + dollars. It is so neat to watch. These dogs have so much skill. They are amazing. I would really like to do this one day. I told my grandma that we have to come back one year and watch the whole thing. The have the sheep at the top of the hill and the dogs have to run like a quarter of a mile to find them. The sheep are really hard to see because the blend in so well. Some of the dogs could not find the sheep even with the handler directing them where to go. They have to go through three different gates. Then the dog has to bring the sheep to the handler that stands at a post and walk the sheep around the post then back through one of the gates. Then the dog has to bring the sheep back to the circle and the dog and the handler have to separate two of the five sheep then get them in the pen all under 13 minutes. It was very fun. I can't wait until tomorrow.
