Red was limping in his right front leg yesterday, I think he twisted it while running – the pastures are full of groundhog and other holes, so he was on restricted duty this morning. But he still wanted to work, and could work, so I had him sit between the sheep and donkey feeders to keep order. He gave me some baleful look, wanting to be more active, but I told him he was taking it easy today, and in his gracious way, he went along with me. He didn’t look that happy though.

Like most border collies, he would have been happy to hobble around while running if I let him.
