Herding

I'm not sure I have ever experienced anything as magical or as pure as being in the midst of a cloud on a mountain with my dog and 3 sheep. We herd up on a mountain that catches the clouds as they roll in...and clears as they roll out. Luckily! Michele had her camera and got some lovely shots of the day's lesson. Emma and I went into the field first and about an hour later Ike and I went in. You can see the difference clearly.

After last week's high jinx....at least a month with no sheep made the dogs nutso with excitement...this week was wonderfully thoughtful. Back to work. And while both dogs impress me...Emma is amazing right now...she has some primal knowledge of how to do this....More magic.
