or lack thereof.... :) I haven't found as much time to work with Fly this summer as I would have liked to, but she gets a bit of time on sheep here in there when the sun doesn't go down to fast. With the extreme heat, I find it impossible to get anything done until the worst of the heat is gone for the day and the sun doesn't cooperate and disappears on me to soon to get to Fly when I have outside dogs to work with that come first. I look forward to the cooler weather of fall, but then you'll hear me complaining about the time change!
Fly is pretty much everything I could ask for in a Blaze pup. She's smart, bidable, and wanting to please, almost to a fault. She looks to me pretty often to make sure she's doing everything right. I'm hoping as she matures she'll gain more confidence in herself. Now don't get me wrong, this girl's not lacking confidence when it comes to the sheep. She'll come right on in and get a bite when asked to. She loves to pull sheep off of fences and tight spaces. I haven't seen her falter when it comes to moving the sheep. She's doing all the things that I wished Blaze would have done when I started him. Blaze was a mad man and in it for numero uno. He chased and slashed and generally had himself a good time no matter how much I tried to be in the picture, but man oh man, now that he's matured he is my absolute favorite. Not only as a pet, but as a reliable working dog. He's got confidence that goes on for days and now that we see eye to eye, he'll do anything I ask him to and never question it. I have high hopes that Fly will turn out just as good if not better than her old man and make me one very happy handler!
