Fate’s evolution as a working dog continues. She is beginning to move the sheep a bit, Zelda and Susie take turns chasing her away, but she is holding her ground. It was more challenging this morning when the sheep ran to hide behind Chloe, who they see is preferable to Fate.

Fate was not put off, she circled the flock, lay down next to them, is learning her “come byes” and “aways.” Yesterday we have the strongest lesson yet, I think her instincts are really coming out now. We are going slowly. The natural life of the farm seems to test her daily.
