Shelby has signed on to be our dog and farm sitter when we are away, and her boyfriend Kirby, who works in Manchester, Vt.,  at an outlet there, is going to help out when she is busy working at a veterinary clinic in Cambridge. We just all clicked, and Shelby is coming by once a week for a while to feed the dogs and take care of the barn cats, chickens, donkeys and sheep.

This is good news for us they both fell in love with the dogs and oohed and aahed appropriately as Red herded the sheep. Shelby will stay at the farm when we are away. She knows what she is doing. She was taking notes on her I phone the whole time.
