10 jumps, 2 tires, 2 pause tables and 2 sets of weaves later...whew it was a long, working weekend. My dad and I made wobble tables and boards for classes and fun, fun, fun with the dogs and it was all good. Our first few hours working together were disjointed, a yell here and there, but by the Saturday afternoon, we were like clockwork. After a few trips to Home Depot, (where apparently my father is like a local celebrity), he ran into at least 5 other people he knew, swapped fishing stories with an old high school buddy, and then we filled the back of the Ford with...you guessed it...more PVC.
Sweets on the other hand napped, ran, barked and practiced a for our bit on Nat. Geo. This morning I took her into the neighbor's woods where she flushed a deer, that just looked at us for a few minutes. I held onto Sweets and we let the deer do her thing, then returned to the trail. Much to her delight, we found a genuine turkey feather to shred back at the homestead. Life is good!
