I have to sneak on to the computer while Ailsa is busy doing other things because yesterday she got some Spam addressed to me and now she thinks I have been on the computer too long and going into wrong places because it suggested that I buy something called Viagra to keep my girl happy – if I thought it would keep Ailsa happy I would buy some whatever it is (if she let me have some money) but I am not sure what it is so she might have to settle for Koolie kisses and cuddles.
We spent another weekend at sheepdog school and it was wonderful. It was a bit cold and windy but I did not care although Ailsa was wearing lots of layers. We went out to Binalong again and there were about 60 dogs there including some more Koolies – now we are the third largest group after Border Collies and Kelpies. There were lots of other dogs there though – some Briards and Belgian Shepherds, and a Maremma and some Bernese Mountain Dogs and an Australian Shepherd and some others. Robert, my teacher, was really nice to me and said I could stay off lead all weekend so I got to wander around and check out things rather than taking Ailsa with me – I stayed with her most of the time though because some of those dogs are pretty big and she might have been frightened. I got to play with some of the others too which surprised everyone because I don’t normally do it, but that is because I was frightened when I was on lead because I could not get away so if anyone came up to me I had to frighten them off – when I am not on lead if they are frightening I can run away and hide behind Ailsa. We had lots of goes with the sheep and Robert picked me to go into a big pen and bring out 10 sheep for us to practice on. He was really pleased with what I did – we practised moving some sheep in different directions because that is one of the tests I will be doing soon. He said nice things to Ailsa too.
We met Sue who knows Janine who rescued me from the farm so guess what - the next sheepdog school we are going to will be in Uralla near Armidale in New England in Northern NSW – we are going to see Janine who saved me from the farm and I am going to show her what a good sheepdog I am. I hope she will be pleased with my progress. I just cannot wait to see her and Spy again.
