Ryan got to go to work with Nathan today. I'm not sure why that makes it seem like he's a 'real' farm dog - our farm is pretty real - but it somehow does.
I went there mid morning try a little sheep herding with Ryan on different sheep, and with a pen set up. He was really good, considering he still doesn't know directions. He ran really far to get them...but when the sheep scattered he started sniffing around because he wasn't sure what to do. Eventually he did gather them and together we pushed them back up the field and, eventually, into the pen.

Muddy pigs!

Meanwhile, Abby and I worked on a sheep pen so that we'll have somewhere to corral the sheep into when we have to check their feet, eyes, etc...and also so that I can practice with Ryan.

They seem to like it - we'll try to keep it that way!
