An early morning here, up at 4 a.m. to do chores before heading out to a trial with Solo. He did well, getting a first place with a score of 197/200 and the best news is that we were back home by noon. We took the calves outdoors for some sunshine and introduced them to the bucket which will make feeding them easier (if messier for a while!) The little chicks are doing okay although the idea of having them, Trouble and her pups, plants, etc. all in the house is making me have second thoughts....looks like a cold wet week ahead!
