Red and Liam had a classic standoff on the mud path today by the big barn. Liam was trying to get past Red, as he often does, to get to the food Maria was giving the donkeys – stale pita chips. Red’s job is to keep the sheep off of Maria and also to keep the donkeys from kicking Liam into the next world. They do not care for sheep to take their food.

Liam pressed his head against Red, tried to push him back, that did not work, Red held his ground and then gave Liam the super eye of the border collie. Liam took it for about 30 seconds, then backed up a bit. I released Red and he chased Liam back to the pasture. Liam is resolute, he doesn’t give up on the it. And he never wins.
