Sheepdogs

Dogs. Going to the dogs on Labor Day. I don't know if we've ever done something fun on that (non) holiday, but this year, we break with tradition. A sheepdog competition is certainly a novel idea for us. We thought about it last year, but perhaps found out late. This is typical of our local press, they make a big deal out of events that have already happened, not mentioning anything still to come.

We've never done much for any holiday, D being a huge grump about them. (Yes, he does read here.) I only ever liked Christmas and Halloween anyway, so no biggie. Any day off is good enough for me to consider it a holiday. This might be enjoyable. We will go early. D says he'll be awake, so that's fine. Usually, he's up by 5. I often am awake before the alarm chimes, at 0545.

So, dogs. Yeah, it'll be a nice change. Cats are not interested in going. They think we are crazy, but then, they always do.

I haven't any plans for the long weekend. Well, at least, none that I am aware of.

Rou,
Dogs and sheep, with lots of wooly things, so I'm told.

Phil.
Check before then, maybe.
