Ron, Charlie and Jancy
Collins, Mammoth Springs, Arkansas
Ron, Charlie and
Jancy Collins loaded up dogs and drove over early Friday
morning the 30th. They pulled in mid-morning. Ed
Hamersley arrived a little after them with a pickup full of
dogs too. Sun was shining but it was c-h-i-l-l-y!!
You'd think we could pick warmer temps for "playing" with
the dogs.
Everyone spent
the first couple of hours with cookies, beverage and
pedigrees. |
Pictured right
l-r Ben, Charlie, Jancy and Ron
and lots of good
old Border Collie bloodlines. |

|
Ron and Charlie met
in Kansas while both worked for a large feedlot at Garden City.
Between them, they have handled tens of thousands of head of
cattle. They have a cow/calf operation. Charlie, soon to
be a registered nurse, also is the nurse for any sick cattle.
She got lots of experience at the feedlot. Ron has been
using and raising Border Collies for many years and has kept
some of Ben's good old cattle working bloodlines. |

Ed brought Ben,
"One's" one puppy
J
Twila and Leslie
work all day in an office with dog foot-warmers and as you
can see from the picture right - Twila loves dogs! She
snuggled with the new pup. Her family has a new "big"
Lab pup, Bullet, they adopted.
Left, Jancy, 3
yrs old, points out which dog in the run is her "Sunshine"
dog. Jancy also has a horse named Flicka and ropes!
Below, Charlie working her dog Ruby. Ruby hasn't seen
goats but a couple times and asks Charlie "How high she
thinks a goat can jump!" With the proper incentive, of
course. |

is a good cow/calf dog. Right, Ed working a young male dog
he brought over to leave with Ben. Charlie also left Ruby
for Ben to finish out. |

Bill Smock, Paden, Ok and Bob
Brison, Henryetta, OK |

Bill Smock drove
up Thursday morning the 28th with his cousin Bob Brison.
Ben enjoyed swapping stories with these to fellas who know
what they are talking about. A lot of laughter coming
from the kitchen this morning!
They slipped
outside to work a dog or two before heading back down the
road to home. Ben, Bob (center) and Bill (right). |
