Red seemed energized by his visit to the Bishop Maginn High School on Tuesday. Red proves Sigmund Freud’s theory that life is about love and work. He loves to do his work, at the school or the Mansion, or in his pasture with the sheep.

I am determined to give Red the opportunity to work for as long as he can and wishes. It may or may not shorten his life, he has a bad heart now, but I would love for him to live his life as fully as he can for as long as he can.

This morning, he marched right up to the sheep and took his stance. He looked like the old Red. Good for him, dogs have pride and dignity too.
