Time flies

I can't believe Seth is 10 years old already. It just seems like yesterday he showed up at my house and said he was moving in. I'd had no intention of getting another dog, I already had 3 dogs, a few cats, chickens, pigs, goats, sheep, rabbits etc. Seth's breeder was a friend and I had been listening to the puppies on the phone since the day they were born. I had no interest at all in getting one. After the pups were older they drove down with the remaining ones to take to a local dog event near me. That is when Seth looked at me and said "I'm going to live with you." My friends brought Seth's Mom and Dad and brother and sister with him and they all spent the night since they lived so far away. Seth stayed with me on the couch that night and never thought about his parents or siblings again and in fact I swear he waved goodbye the next morning as they drove off, then turned to me and said "well what are we going to do now?' I'd had herding breeds before but never one that did the things Seth did at such a young age. When I first took him out to my goats when he was 12 weeks old I thought Hmmm..I'm definitely going to have to learn how to work with him. That was my start with working sheepdogs. Time has flown by and I now have my 5th Border Collie. I really can't imagine being without them now.
