From 23 from the south: Get off at North Territorial (as if going to AADTC) but turn left (west) at the exit and take N.Terr. west to Scully Rd(first road past CJ’s party store at the corner of Webster Church and N.Terr) and turn right (north) on to Scully and take that up to Walsh. Turn right (east) on Walsh and go down the hill, past the swamp and then start looking for a for sale sign (not for my house but the one that sits beyond mine on the shared driveway) and that sign is at my driveway.
From the North: can get off at N.Terr. and follow the above instructions or get off at Whitmore Lake exit and go left toward Whitmore Lake and turn right at Polly’s store and follow that and it puts you right onto Barker Rd heading west. Take that to where it ends (Merrill) and turn left (South). Take Merrill to Walsh and turn right (only way you can turn there) and I am not far down on the right and look for the sign.

If any of you folks have an opportunity to give it a try, please do so! You will really enjoy it!
I did Chopper with her last year. She spent a lot of time (well, 20-30 mins – felt like a lot of time!) with each dog and based her test/lesson on the individual dogs’ reaction and level of obedience.
Here is some clips of ours. It was a lot of talking, mainly for me b/c while the dog is instinctive *I* had never really been near a sheep or farm before, lol.

Hopefully the same ranch is hosting her this year and I’ll take Nikon and Coke.
Wish Rudi, Peter and I lived closer. Rudi needs/deserves a herd of sheep! JH
