Saturday herding

Today we went herding... it wasn't a great day - the sheep were being buttheads but Groovy did a great job of getting them out of the corner (with my help and encouragement) but she definitely had more confidence in that situation than she has in the past.  They weren't budging for Clue (Cindy's dog).  We had about 5-10 minutes of good herding but somehow Groovy bit her own tongue at some point and we had to stop to get her some water.  After that the sheep were done - they had been "bad" all day so we called it quits early.  Sal and Tex weren't having any success either.  Something had the sheep upset.  I'm excited about next week though.  Groovy is going to learn pen work in preparation for the ASCA trial in November!  We might also work on some directionals too!  Very cool!  :)
