Two steps forward, one step back

The blog seems to have been devoted to everything BUT Border collies and sheep lately, so here's a bit of an update.
I'm still completely obsessed with it all. If anything I'm getting worse, but I'd be lying if I said that it was all easy. It's a really steep learning curve.
Tell and I (mostly Tell) have moments of brilliance. Talk to me on one of those days and we can take on the world.
Then there are those other days where the wheels fall off the cart.
Mostly it's a bit of both.
All of this leads to more obsession. A person can kill a lot of time thinking about the "what ifs", the "how abouts" and the "I should haves" of their last training session.
