6-13.

While we're waiting for paint coats to go on and dry, I took an afternoon to build Shadowfax a set of weave poles.  With obedience training going well, I decided she's ready for more fun.  She supervised construction and here she is checking out the finished product.  These are bigger than a standard set, but should be better for learning.  We've already started training - she's going to catch on fast. 

Next on the list of things to build is a pause table (she knows the command 'table,' but she's left a couple scratches on a table in the house, so I think it's time she got her own official table).  Then when the boat is finished I will have the time and tools to start on more detailed construction projects of see-saws, A-frames, cross-overs, and jumps (and have time for training of course)!

Depending on weather, we should be able to put the 4th coat of paint on the hull this weekend.  While sanding the 2nd coat, we were getting down to primer in spots, so we will have to go to a finer grit sand paper.  Today Daddy told me that the 3rd coat we put on Monday looks really nice now!  We should run out of Bristol Beige (hull color) after the 4th coat, so we'll flip her over and start on the insides after that.
