I guess I’m getting used to this odd sight of a Boston Terrier and a border collie with a bad back working the sheep together, or seeming to.

But is not a herding dog by any means, but he definitely gets the idea and he has the ego. Ever since Red got sick But has been  sitting with him, helping him keep the sheep by their own feeders during the morning feeding.

Mostly, But sits next to Red for a few minutes and barks when he wants to say something to the sheep, who look at him as if he dropped out of the sky.

After looking officious and stern, Bud usually wanders off to mark some twig or  bark imperiously at the sheep and the donkeys.

Red seems to like it.
