They won't allow dogs to fly in caro unless it's 12 or warmer. So the plan is to ship her back to me on the 10th of February via Continental, who has climate-control.<BR/><BR/>Unless, of course, Mount Redoubt blows up that day. (sigh.)<BR/><BR/>DBT, I'd love to come visit the west coast BC contingent, especially as I have a friend who wants a puppy and is thinking about a BC. I've so completely browbeaten her about working dogs VS other kinds of breedings that she wants one from a working farm/breeder. Maybe I should send her down as my little envoy!<BR/><BR/>Dragon, I hope you are right. I just don't want to wreck her or undo all the good work JP has put in.<BR/><BR/>MM, thx - glad you enjoyed it. I'm amazed I can remember any of it, between the virus and the sleep deprivation!<BR/><BR/>LC - it was really fun meeting you, too! (And Mary, and Tony, and Robin, and Nancy, and....! too long a list to type them all.) You were all good company and enjoyable dinner companions - and so kind about my general incompetence and congestion! And you're right, Julie has done a <I>wonderful</I> job with Raven. I'm going to do my best to honor her hard work (and good breeding choices) by doing right by Raven and her training. So let's all hope I don't screw it up!AKDDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533003137934379516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6589783647802842771.post-36228655037609745432009-01-30T05:43:00.000-08:002009-01-30T05:43:00.000-08:00It was great to meet you!

She's got a good feel for her sheep, and makes some really good choices. I think you're going to have a lot of fun with her!
