I've been slacking, I'm sorry!

I've been meaning to write a new blog post for a couple days now, and just haven't gotten around to it. I guess I've just not been in the writing mood lately. School starts in about three weeks.... and I feel totally unprepared. I don't have my books yet, and I haven't gotten as much reading done this summer as I wanted to. Teaching orientation starts next week.... eep!

Needless to say, I don't have much brain space right now for other stuff.

I worked Cedar earlier this week out at Dianne's, and she did pretty well. We are both continuing to improve (albeit SLOWLY), and it's really nice to be able to successfully do exercises that we never could have attempted a few months ago. I still have a long ways to go before she completely respects me, though. For such a meek little thing, she's awfully pushy!

I bathed both of the dogs today, here's a few pix:

Moss Man...




Moss is almost 7 1/2 months old now, and getting HUGE! His legs are still really long and he still looks gawky, so I know he still has a ways to go. He is slowly losing his "puppy" look, and turning into quite the handsome young gentleman :) I love him to bits, although he does leave a bit to be desired in the manners department. I really need to buckle down and work on his recall before he starts serious sheepdog training.
