My genius, Crue

I lined them all up like you asked. Would you like them in order by height now?

Afternoon Delight

Work was very slow yesterday. So slow I had NO groom dogs all day. So with nothing to do and no phone calls by noon I decided to go home and spend time with my dogs. Crue, Seth and I just hung out in the field working sheep or just sitting and it was a lovely afternoon.

Crue is starting to understand stuff and is getting a good outrun on him. Today I added the goats into the mix. They worked nicely with little challenge to the dogs. In fact at one point when Crue gripped, it was a goat and it yelled loudly as goats are prone to do and Crue acted like he'd bit into a hot wire. Nice correction. He was a bit more hesitant to grab after that. Crue is still a bit hesitant to go into tight spaces so he reacts by gripping. He's getting much better about it though. I have been trying to spend a lot of time with Crue up close and personal with the sheep and he seems to be relaxing more.

This picture would have been way better with a decent camera and if I hadn't cut his ears off. It's hard enough working an extremely keen dog let alone take pics at the same time. 

Seth always has to get in on the act, whether I need him there or not.

Taking a breather.

I'm ready to have another go...

I'm getting closer, can I go now?

And he's off.....the black blur..

Up top back at the house, still wistfully gazing down toward where the sheep are. Good boy Crue!
