Before the storm, Red and Fate run in the woods. They run ahead to the end of the path, and turn and come back. They always come back. I have never had a dog run off from me, or run away from me. I don’t know why, really. Border collies never run off from the people who might take them to work, my Labs never ran off either.

I love to see these dogs living the life dogs were meant to live. A gift to me, as well as them. My heart always lifts when I see them run through the beautiful woods on the old country road, now a path in the forest.
