Red teaches Fate a lot, mostly his presence gives her strength and confidence. Two of the sheep have been charging at her and butting her, she doesn’t run but she is a bit wary so I’m being careful to keep her back. She’s too young to battle with them yet, and when Red is there, the sheep don’t dare try anything, this is boosting her confidence. She is calm and steady around him. I remember every day when I take the dogs in, I tell myself “this is fun, if the dogs and I are not having fun, then stop and go for a walk.”
