We will be spending Christmas with my family near Chicago; the dogs will be staying home with a farm sitter (a friend who is a large & small animal Vet). She will bring her dogs bringing the total on the farm up to 14.
For those who are in the Mid-Atlantic region, our friend is bringing to the PA Farm Show (Harrisburg, PA) sheep herding arena trials; Jan 7 at 4-8pm in the Equine Arena and Jan 8 7-9pm in the Large Arena. We will be there running Grant & Lee.
