Ain't Nothing Like a Border Collie!

Well, it will be quick and simple today. Another extremely long drive from the B. Castle back to Dublin so we can catch a flight tomorrow for Lorraine's family reunion in Hereford, England.
She is excited....oh yes, me too!
What really was great about today was we went to a Sheep Farm and watched this fellow's Border Collies work and bring in the sheep. They were beautiful and quick on command. Obviously have a lot of experience. They work them from the top of the mountain to the pen below and it was fun to cheer them on at every turn. You know we have two border collies. My gosh, have they got a soft life! Well, Mack and Kerry-your lives are about to change. I bought a whistle and I'm going to teach you how to herd the sheep. Ah yes, well it's just another little problem so we'll figure out the sheep issue over the next week or so. I would have loved to bring one of the dogs home as this fellow ships them all over the world with PetPassports. Cost is a mere 2000 euros to Houston! We passed but not until some additional prodding. Everyone take care and will be writing from England starting tomorrow (Saturday)
