Futurity & other updates

Whoo, haven't updated this journal in a while. The Cottonwood Falls Cowdog Futurity, April 18th-20th, was a lot of fun. Ink was seventh on Friday. I thought he did real good for 13 months old. Got some great photos:







Kenneth Beasley and Sissy won 1st in the Futurity. Laura Stimatze and Slim were 3rd, Laura also was 2nd in Open Saturday and 1st in Open Sunday with Gus. Jody Mikles and his HTC Queen were 3rd in Open Sunday. Queen is Ink's great grandam, she's almost nine years old but still has what it takes.

Returned Rab to his owner. She was real happy with how he's come along, he's settled into working and has some basics on him, he'll be a real good dog for her to learn with.

Last weekend, April 26th, we loaded up the dogs and went to IL to visit with Bruce Hopgood. Hung out and had a good time working some pups. Bruce had a spot on RFD TV a couple weeks ago, a real nice segment, wish it'd been longer!

Talked to Glenn Williams of London, KY the other day and it looks like he's going to have Grant Butler, from TX, come out and do some demos and a clinic in June. 19th - 22nd. I'll post more later when I have more details.
