Wednesday after Valentine's Day

Kearney - We had a big day yesterday.  PR came over and took TM out to dinner.  He gave her a present of diamond ear studs.  She has always wanted a pair, so she was very pleased with PR's gift.  I am ashamed to say that we didn't get TM anything.  She said we showed her we cared and that is all that really matters.

We all got to watch TV in the sitting room.  Daisy was especially pleased to see that the Peeking Knees won at Westminster.  She was snorting on PR's lap.  Not that we watched much of the dog show, they just tuned in at times.  Dog shows aren't PR's thing.  TM said she got to see what she wanted to on Monday. 

Lowri - Today we got to herd ducks again!  I was excellent!  TM lets me gallop in big circles around the ducks in each direction.  Then I have to WALK up to the ducks and drive them at a walk - BORING.  I keep trying to bounce, but TM says "steady."  I have to do lots of stops and lots of walking up.  We go all over the yard.  TM occasionally gives me a "bye" or "away" command, then I race around the ducks until TM tells me to stop.  She thinks I am coming along very nicely!

Kearney - I got to work ducks too.  TM had me bring the ducks out of the pen.  Since I know my job, she only gave me a "bye" command.  I went in and did all the work to bring the ducks out into the yard.  Since, TM likes to be in charge, I know she had a tough time keeping her mouth shut.  I have been working with her on that.  She is kind of hard to train, but is gradually getting better.
