I took this photo a couple of years ago, when Fate was in training to herd sheep. That didn’t work out, and I take responsibility for it, I just couldn’t figure out how to get Fate to challenge the sheep. She has too much fun just hanging around them. As it happened, we got a wonderful dog, the dog we wanted, and life is like that, you just have to ride with it.

The photo brought back some memories for sure, i worked with her every morning for months before I concluded that she was just not up to pushing the sheep around. Nor were they interested in obeying her. I am learning to accept life. Fate is quite a happy dog, and we are very happy to live with  her and her joy of life. Sometimes things work out despite our bumbling.
