I finally got my dogs out at a friend's field this past weekend. As I was working Nick, it struck me that it was actually pleasurable to run him!
No exhaustion from blowing continous steady whistles.
No having to tell the sheep as they round the post "Be afraid, be very afraid!"
It only took 7 1/2 years!

he is such a handsome man and you took a great picture of him!
