Five days from her surgery, Fate is slowly returning to work (stitches out Tuesday). I’m using Red to pin the sheep so that Fate can test them by using her eye and connecting with them. The trainers call it testing the sheep, our trainer/friend Jim McRae suggested it for Fate. It is working beautifully. No running or turning, but a lot of practice with her eye. More and more, she is backing the sheep up. When she is ready to return to work full-time next week, I think she will be strong and ready. Side by side, these two are pretty potent.
