Ki's Herding Adventure

The cows hear the tractor and think, food!

Hubby was going to remove a tree from the fence.

I called Ki to when the herd began to gather.

Hubby asked her to work.

 Ki took that to mean put in them a circle,

 so she began to work, circling,

No cow too big,

no bovine fast enough to catch her.

She worked and she was too fast for the cows.

Oops, one's trying to get away.

Ki kept the pulling the circle tighter and tighter.

Not bad for an untrained mutt!

Good girl!

Ki-Anne...Cattle Dog

As I related my sad story of Sunday,

I mentioned the great cattle escape.

Never found where they got out

and cut the fence to get them back in.

Herding is coming naturally to my little dynamo.

Ki was even brave enough to heel Collateral.

He's moving in the right direction,

so she scopes the rest of the herd.

These ladies weren't as compliant as the bull.

My Ki moves like lightning!

She is so proud of gathering the herd,

but when the going gets rough...

Ki hides behind me!!!

Got a tad more training to do.
