Carol, Maureen and Joan from Calgary, Deb from Okotoks, and Denise, Sylvia, Dee and another lady from Fernie/Elk Valley, BC. were on hand to do scent hurdle, barrel racing, and square dancing.
The BC bunch is getting ready for the Sit Happens! rally O trial in March so we put up a course from hell for them to practice. I made it up out of my head and it consisted of 25 signs mostly from novice / advanced courses and I got lost half way through when I attempted it. Whew!
Sylvia redeemed herself in barrel racing and did a terrific job at square dancing ..... Lore has
injured herself and was not able to take her place on the team. Russ is going to see if we can use Vista Village as a practice place on Monday or Tuesday evenings early. We can practice
square dance and barrels and I think the residents and staff will enjoy it.
We also walked through our carting drill and reviewed our demo times and seminar times.
Tubby and Glen dropped in on their way from Great Falls with the cutest male Newf pup ever.
No, he will not be staying with Tubby as he has his own puppy to work with. This pup was going to a new forever home in Calgary.
It was a great day. Carol and Maureen took pics of the semi's in the ditches on highway 2 on the way home. Carol lost count of how many were overturned. We lost a small piece of facia from the west face of the kennel building but everything else stayed put. Connie, from Fort Macleod , reported that people lost barn roofs! Carol said that farm building were blown over and
house siding was being ripped off homes between Fort Macleod and Calgary.
We were without power for three hours Saturday evening. It was restored for two hours and then was off from midnight until sometime around 1 or 2 Sunday afternoon. Once it was reestablished, we hurried to fill the trough, vacuum, start the dishwasher (we were out of dishes and were into the camping supplies) and houseclean. So what a perfect excuse for us to go to Cowley to the Pub and have an absolutely delicious rib and wing plate with salads and traditional ale. Yummmmm.
Once again, we have the phones working, computers online, and once again, we hear the hum of the wind starting up. Highway 22 was the scene of more accidents today, and the "man at the intersection" was telling people to use Hway 3 and 2 to go home to Calgary from their weekend places in the Pass.
All in all, it was a much nicer day today and the wind is drying up the muck that has surfaced in our yard. That's a good thing.
Stay grounded.
