This is our trainers’ old trial dog, Kate
Not to be confused with Dingbat Kate
I think she’s about 103. And I’m not even talking dog years. She is one of those old dogs that just has that look in her eyes that tells you she’s had a good life. Very round, very friendly eyes. Despite her age and one bum leg, she still takes her sheepdog duties very seriously.
Whilst us with the Dummy Dogschase herd work sheep, she quietly watches the gals in the front pasture.
Occasionally she decides they have had enough of that little bit of grass and could you please meander to another spot? Thankyouverymuch
When the gals have taken up the new spot, Miss Kate can even find the time to smile for a picture

You have to love a dog with a desire to be useful.
Wish I had one.

Old and disabled dogs have no idea that they are old and disabled. Gotta love the attitudes.
ReplyDeleteGreat Photos! Ahhh! The working dog!
