Fate and I were out in the pasture, she was testing the sheep, giving eye, an Pumpkin kept charging at her. Suddenly she rushed up to him and licked him in the nose. He was startled, so was I.

He jumped back and came at him again and backed him up a bit. I don’t think kissing the sheep is part of the herding lore people love to much. I don’t imagine you will see it in those herding trials or videos. I think the border collie swells would not like it. Fate is a very sweet and affectionate dog, perhaps she was trying some charm. I think Red would have been mortified. I can’t wait to see what follows.
