Roading:

· Lea, Erin, Shauna & Annie – 46 min. – solid job with cool camp morning. Dogs are getting into shape quite nicely.

Hills:

· Midge & Buck – Buck a big rolling SD race – 1 VG find with birds leaving as we approached. Midge pointed at bottom of hill as many birds left – good but couldn't finish it and then corrected on a fly away – she really fell apart for the next 10+ minutes but then put it together till the end – showing signs of going front better and wanting to handle. Buck had a strong finish and looked good the whole time. 49 min.

· Robin & Brie - Robin 42 min. checking on Phil for an update on this one.

· Bart & Sol – Bart is realling getting into the program – he is very big and looks good going – no observed birds but he well could've been because we just couldn't see him. 35 min.

· Dani & Striker & Charlise - Dani & Stiker hit a lick with Charlise just learning and did fine. She's learning. 25 min.

Jimmy headed home this afternoon after his 1st dog camp. I think he could get hooked. Susan gave some crochet lessons to all interested parties. The afternoon was varied :

Whitney, Katherine & Elizabeth baked a special cake for camp. Devin, Phil & Own all went golfing & Susan prepared the ingredients for an India dinner. I made some pork tenderloins for dinner with some Pecan Pasta . We all hit the hay with the thought of getting up to see Perseid meteor shower. Graham, Phil with some minor input from tried to put Bob Ruff's 22 back together. I gave up at 11 – they got it about midnight. Several of us got up at 4:30 am for the meteor shower – it was great with the only flaw being the moon – it decided to hog part of the sky – we still saw all kinds of meteors. Everyone was a bit groggy this morning.
