Sheepherding 101-a

So, yesterday we took Flash back for another "try" at sheepherding to see if he is suited for the sport. As we drove up to the Canines 'n Ewe ranch, he got very excited. We thought he was anxious to chase the sheep again. But, no, he wasn't interested in the sheep at all.

Jennifer took him in the pen with the same 3 sheep, but he just kept running back to the gate. "Mom, Dad, help me!" I imagined he was pleading for us to rescue him. We finally acknowledged that Flash would not be needing any sheep of his own at home. So much for finding him a job.

Flash is a family dog, not a working dog. Oh, well. He is beautiful.
