I think working creatures know one another. Border collies tend to attract working types of both sexes. Red loves Ben, and Ben who is normally undistractable in his work, loves dogs in general and Red in particular. Red was visiting Ben as he finished up the spackling on the living room in the New Bedlam Farm. I’m putting up a photo album of Ben working in this very beautiful light.
