Hiya...
Well its been so warm here I can't believe it....we call it Fake Spring cuz we Know that sooner than later ol ms Winter will sneak up and bit our ass.....But its kinda nice as it makes ya think of things ya love....camping, being outdoors and house projects we will do in Real Spring!

So after work yesterday we were all out cleanin in the turn out area ...its nice to have more daylight after work.....so we had all the dogs loose and Ms Skye follows us into the turn out and just starts runnin...the goats looked at her like what the hell is That...lol....we just let her play and then she realized where she was and couldn't find her way out.....LOL....the expression was priceless......her little ears sorta lifted and she has this eye expression like Ooops.....finally we picked her up and put her back out with her buds.....what a happy girl she was then....So then I decided OK.....Im going to bring Feather in to the turn out....Feather is the older border Collie...she is two now....and all her life she has been kept out of the goats area as she has no real herding training, just serious Instinct.....now that she is mature I figure its time we direct that energy.....so I brought her in and put her in a down and told her Stay....well....the goats Know her well....she runs the fence line and pretends to herd them from out there and now she is IN there...Yikes the goats say ...... ITS in Our place.....so they herd up...Punk the leader is in the front while the others stand behind him....and Feather is in her down.....just watching.....and I went about cleaning.....once in a while reminding her to stay....and my girl did.....she was Awesome......just watched and Never broke for 20 minutes....the goats would move a bit and she just would follow with her head but kept her stay just perfect.....I was soooooo proud of her! This is the beginning of her herding training....one step at a time....next we will put her on a long lead.....and use that to control her urges....and start introducing control commands.......So I now have a new project....lol.....I really need another one.....lol.....

Well suns up and Im headed to my daily chores......Love ya all.....
