I love watching Red when he’s on duty, he is solid as a rock, undistractable, incorruptible. You could drop a steak on the ground next to him and he wouldn’t touch it if there were sheep anywhere around. His little sister Fate, on the other hand, is distracted by anything and everything and would leave the sheep in a second to snuggle, greet a visitor or get any kind of treat.

Red would happily sit right in that spot all day if I left him, there, and if I did, he and the sheep would be right where I left  him.
