Here's another photo from yesterday's walky in the Yorkshire Dales. We asked the farmer's permission to walk here as it is not a public right of way. The farmer had two big border collie dogs who did exactly as they were told! He sent them ahead of him into a field to round up some sheep with just a whistle, and they seemed to know exactly what to do. They also seemed to work very hard, while I spent my time exploring interesting smells and rustlings in the long grass. It would be fun to run after some sheep like they did, I think, but I would not like to have to do it every day in all weathers. When we walked off, the border collies stopped and watched us as though they wanted to come for a walky too!
