We got up early to get ready for the Barrel race. Donny left to get silage for the cattle and Dusty went to get the tires rotated on the truck. I picked up the house and got things ready to go. We are taking two of the Jack Russell's (BB and Spud) and Emma Lee so I had to make sure I had diapers and a bottle for her along with leashes, Spud's food and snacks for us. I went ahead and fed early since I wasn't sure how late we would be. We got everything in the trailer, Flash loaded and headed out.

It was hot at the race but there was a breeze and the awning over the trailer gave us a shady spot to sit. Dusty did very well and Flash had a good run and left all the barrels standing. The dogs were wore out and slept all the way home.

We got home around 7pm and a neighbor said that a goat got hung up in the fence while trying to jump into the closed off pasture and had to be cut out. He said that he thought she had hurt herself. Donny and Dusty went to check on the fence and goat. They will have to put up a strand of electric fence tomorrow to stop that from happening. The goat was scratched up but able to walk fine.
