Shilohs and woolies and ducks, oh my!

Saturday afternoon we had our 4th herding lesson at Keepstone Farms in Berryville, VA. But this time we had a very special treat......



....the Ember/Quinn puppies came to try out "duck herding"! There were eight 7 week old butterballs in the pen, and they were giving the 3 duckies a run for their money (when they weren't trying to escape, that is!). Addison and Marti had their hands full this time.


Look at them go! This was so much fun, we all laughed and smiled until our mouths hurt!


Hey guys, they're over there!



Then Abba's Argus got his turn, and he was more than ready. Woooo-hoooo!



That brown one had his name on it----go Argus.




Bellegrace's Wolf needed a couple of reminders about "herding etiquette" (no, lamb is NOT on the menu please). But then he settled down to the business of working those woolies.



Here we go, that's better, nice and easy. It's always a good sign when the instructor is smiling.

Ahhhh, we all did good, time to rest and receive our praise.
Too cute!
