Fate returned to work with authority and energy, she even took a nip at Liam, who charged at her. I think the rest and time off has given her new focus and drive, God help me and the sheep. Still, for all her concentration, Fate is the Joy Dog, she brings her enthusiasm for life to everything she does. She makes herding sheep a lot of fun, for me, for her, for Red, too. Maybe not so much for the sheep, although they are getting used to her. Fate is a remarkable dog, her surgery was one week ago, you would never know it had happened at all.
