Lambs and Herding

Kearney - MC got some pictures of my new lambs.  She sent some to TM...

Lowri - <giggle>  MC has gone crazy with her new camera.  She took 500 pictures of us herding today.  We don't do enough for that many pictures.

Chase - I did enough for that many pictures.  I met Gracie!  She is the big, black cow.  I ran around her a few times and I thought we developed some respect.  When I went back to my sheep, all of a sudden she charged toward me.  TM supported my decision to teach her a lesson.  I DID.  After I was done, it was back to the sheep and more walking around.  I did get to "push" them on occasion, but it was mostly walking and driving.

Lowri - I worked the lambs in the round pen.  Treasure had just worked them.  TM says that she did a great job!  She is taking direction and is having lots of fun.  She is a good girl.  I am NOT!  It was really boring today.  TM made me do lots of stops.  I also started learning Walk Up.  I was driving the lambs around the pen.  That was weird.  I much prefer holding the lambs to TM.  I got to do that too.  TM did it relieve the pressure of being a good dog.  When we were done, I got to gate sort two of the lambs.  TM wanted them in the field.  When I got that done, I ran one of the lambs over TM.  Sheesh, NO sense of humor!

Kearney - I got to do outruns again.  There was a stranger standing with my sheep.  I wasn't very happy about that.  When I brought the sheep past the stranger, she spoke to me.  Geez, it was MC - not a stranger at all!  I did several passes past her until I quit flinching - even when she flapped her long coat at me.  I did some good work.  TM says I will get over being a chicken.
