When Fate came to the farm two years ago, she watched Red closely and try to do what he did. She did not develop as a skilled sheep herding dog, but she is a great dog and lives to run circles around the sheep and hang out with them.

Gus studies Fate the same way Fate studied Red. Every morning, after working with the sheep, Fate goes to our animal water tank to drink some water. Gus tried several times, but was just too small. Today, for the first time, he could reach the water tank if he got up on his hind legs and stretched a bit.

So the two of them were happily gulping water together. Another sight at Bedlam Farm I did not expect to see. Another daily ritual I will see almost every day from now on. Gus adores Fate and tries to do everything she can do. He is not quite as fast.
