07.23.2010 – It’s finished, I promise.
The shed has long since been built, honestly, I promise. 
There is still a little bit of work to do to completely finish it (installing a piece of angle iron across the opening for the door to protect the OSB, closing in the bottom so critters can’t live under it, nothing major), but it is finally in use. We finished building the lofts a few weeks ago, and have started to move stuff out there for storage already. Just haven’t taken any new pictures, but hopefully we’ll do that sometime soon so I can post them.
Our weekends have been very hectic lately. We found a club that trains Schutzhund, so we’ve been spending the better part of our Sundays there with Nico. It’s really interesting, and I think Nico will do very good. Of course, we haven’t taken any pictures there either, but maybe I’ll try to take some Sunday when we go.
We are also busy training for the Dog Sports Open, a personal protection trial we’re going to up in Michigan in late August. It will be the first time we spend a weekend in a hotel with both dogs, so that in and of itself should be interesting. We know the trial itself will be intersting, Cheryl loves to have fun with the handlers and dogs at these tournaments. There is a video from the 2007 DSO towards the bottom of this page if anyone wants to get a feel for what we’re in for – I think the first 4-5 minutes are obedience, the protection starts after that.
