Flash herds

It turns out (according to the breeder) that both of Flash's parents were champion herders. Tonight he proved it by herding a fat little mouse against a wall outside. He then laid down beside it and barked, but he didn't kill it. Very encouraging...except I had to pick it up with a shovel and remove it to a more remote area. Turns out I couldn't kill it either. 

But what a good dog!
