good boy Crue

I've always said Crue is a very good dog. Well today he really proved me right. He's not perfect, but he's young and mistakes are going to be made. But for the most part he's a very good boy.

I took the dogs out back of the shop to run and decided to work putting up some more fencing. The back property behind my shop was not fenced for the most part, which is why Mike took off one night right under my nose, in the pitch black. We got fencing and t-posts after that and ran it up one side. The side with the poison oak. We just sat the rest of the roll of fencing up against the chainlink that runs alongside the road. Today I went out and cut the fencing from the roll and wired it to the chainlink.

Its still open on the otherside however.

I started walking over towards that spot to see how long a piece of fencing it would take to start blocking at least the way to the road and I had Crue and Reign with me. Crue is now 8 mos old, never been on sheep and only knows a few things like sit, down and shake. I do make him wait at the door before loading up in the truck and again getting out. He's good but its all he can do to keep from jumping before I say to. Well as I was walking over to the open side of the fence with Crue with me a rabbit jumped up out of the brush right under us. Crue immediately gave chase. I yelled Crue, that'll do!! And he actually stopped and started to come to me. He really didn't have his attention on me and didn't come all the way back to me but kept looking off where the rabbit had gone. But he did stop and he did come back and after a little bit he came to me and wagged his tail. He got lots of praise for that! So I know now I can call him off a rabbit..LOL

I went back down later with all the dogs and Mike found a big tree branch and started dragging it around.

Pretty soon everyone got involved and it turned into a big tug o war.
