My wide-angle lens was not wide enough to capture all of the people who came to see Fate train as a sheep dog, and to watch Red help her. She graduated Saturday to a full-fledged Bedlam animal, she loves to work, takes a great photograph, loves just about everyone that she sees.

It was a coming-of-age moment for Fate, she encountered hundreds of new faces, worked for hours with the sheep, greeted or tried to greet every single person who came to the Open House, charmed everyone she met. She is still jumping up on people, although less so, she adores children and loves to wriggle and wrestle with them. She has trouble sitting still but is slowly calming down, even staying when asked, although briefly.

She is a remarkable dog, trainable, fun, loveable, intelligent and trustworthy. She has a sense of humor, for sure, and a lot of spunk and personality.  A pleasure to be working with her, she has all of the ingredients of the Bedlam Farm anmal.
