I have a new nickname for Fate, I call her Demento. She is not like any other dog I have had or known.

I think she is quite mad, the border collie that won’t herd sheep.You can see the gleam that is always in her eye, either color. She is a perpetual motion machine, she lives off of a secret power source that defies heat, cold, exhaustion or physics.

This morning, out on our walk she dove into the tall and thick grass of the meadow, i heard all kinds of sounds as she tore through the underbrush, and then, without warning, she exploded back into the road and right in front of me, the mad gleam shining in her Pirate Eye.

Ready for the next thing.
