I’m not sure Red understands that some things cannot be herded, and even he has his limits. We went to Vermont to pick up Maria’s yarn from our sheep and Red and the Alpacas confronted one another. Alpacas get along well with dogs they know, and are not especially dangerous, but they won’t be herded and when Red saw them, he ran up to the fence and assumed his power position. This has always worked for him but the alpacas weren’t buying it. “That’ll do,” I said and he ran over me, somewhat relieved I think.
