Rent-a-sheep


So life returns to “normal” after the big rally day.  Frodo and I were so exhausted from all the hoopla, we slept most of yesterday.  Well – he did.  I was a bit drowsy, but quite happy to bug my human while she was working on her computer.  By the way – the reviews for Team Bark were great.  I think we should take our entertaining show on the road!

So Frodo has his Rally Excellent title and I have a start on my Advanced title.  I THINK that’s all the trialing my human is planning for this year.  Except for one more shot at herding.  She is still searching for a good herding video.  There is probably a moneymaking scheme here…a herding video designed JUST for dogs.  No human - babbling on about herding – just some demonstrations for us dogs.  From a dog’s point of view.  So far, she has found a video of some older gentleman, who made his dog lie down by quickly stepping on the dog’s leash.  The dog looked terrified.  Check that video off the list.  Another video telling the steps in herding ducks, but not REALLY showing us how.  And a series of videos showing herding “skills” - using a stuffed toy cow.  I had no interest in that one either.  So my human is already beginning to question whether this second Instinct test attempt was such a good idea.

I am doubtful we can rent sheep before the next test and the wild local ducks are NOT interested in staying still long enough for me to herd them.  We have two loons on our lake – but something tells me they can’t be herded.   But leave it to my human.  She’ll come up with SOMETHING!  Heaven help us.
