Terry has a new post up on her new blog She discusses issues with having a great herding dog and still having a good pet. This, I feel, is an important thread for us ‘UrbanHerders.” Go check it out. “The question is: can this dog be your pet AND your tool/partner in the field of [...]
I can’t decide if this is really cool or a good idea gone horribly wrong. Apparently you can even have grass delivered to your door every couple of weeks to keep the ‘potty’ grass fresh. Love to see your comments. The site is The Doggy and The City. – bikeguy
This particular rant comes from a conversation I had with my herding trainer this weekend however these are MY words and opinions.

Beag has been getting more and more lively and trying to engage Scot in play. Scot has yet to show any real interest. This day was the day after getting snipped and chipped and, as you can see, he is still in the ‘cone.’ These are my first YouTube uploads and were taken with my [...]
Scot has had ‘surgery’ today. He is now snipped and chipped. He even got stuck with the ‘cone of silence.’ Poor guy is totally our of it, which is probably for the best. They said 3 to 5 days of inactivity, yikes that sounds like a lot from here. Hopefully the drugs he has to [...]
