Rest For The Weary

It is almost impossible to describe the energy of Fate, it seems boundless. Yesterday she ran and ran for hours, we were outside much of the day. She chased Red, circled the sheep, herded them, ran in the woods, and I guess it was too much even for her, as she watched the sheep, she just took a nap, maybe the first time I’ve ever seen a border collie take a nap while out with the sheep.

Fate is her own dog, she does things her own way. If any creature deserved a nap yesterday, it was Fate, I just didn’t think she was capable of resting during the day. Neat to see it, the sheep were just astonished, they all tried to rush around her and get into the barn. But she woke up, of course.
