Dogs after dark

Thora, on the tall platform in her kennel.
She can see most of the pasture from up there.

These pics were taken Saturday evening after I finished doing some mowing.  I had Cabell, Bremo, and Zachary out for a good long romp, then put them back in the house and let Hobby, Trace, Mercedes, Ryland, and Willy out to the pasture.  Willy (the boxer) didn't last long because he was majorly aggressive towards the mower.  I've never had a dog go after a riding mower the way he did, biting the tires, etc.  It clearly wasn't safe to have him around the mower.  He was so worked up I had to put him into a crate in the shed to get him to give up the chase.

Everyone else had a good run.  Ryland went off on his own, but the three shepherds stuck pretty close together (since they all share one brain). 


Sunday was the VGSR quarterly meeting.  It was blessedly brief and free of conflct.  Elections were held and I got a director's position on the board, two year term.  If I had been smart I would have gone for the one year position instead. 

I came back with a car load of dog food, treats, toys, and other things that people brought and donated.  I had put out a request for dog food and people in the rescue are always very generous when I ask for help.

That trip ate up most of the day and I didn't move any dogs this weekend, but Hobby is being adopted on Monday and Trace is going next weekend.  I don't have much else to say, so here are a few more pictures I took Saturday evening out in the pasture.
