Puppies are like human children in one way, you look at them one day and realize they are growing up. Fate is approaching six months of age, she a great ride-along dog as well as a budding farm dog. Fate is the most intense dog I have ever been around, also one of the brightest and most curious. She loves to ride along in the car, she is fascinated by every movement, every change of light, every thing she sees. Fate’s love of life is infectious, as it her love of work.

She is an interesting contrast to Red. When he comes in the car, he lies down in the back seat and rarely moves. Fate is very rarely still. I liked this portrait of her, it captured her focus and intensity.
