Uncle Jay and Hurry!

Uncle Bill wanted me to tell you about the little brat named Hurry! that Mom brought in a few weeks ago.Hmmmph. Not every dog gets his very own punctuation mark at the end of his name...

He is a cute little fellow, to be sure, but he is very annoying. It would seem that this little guy got more than his fair share of herding instinct. All he would do day in and day out is herd us dogs.

I got smart. When we went for our walks in the field, I made myself scarce and ran off squirreling. He couldn't catch me in the trees. Instead, he just herded Derby, Flare and Frodo. He didn't dare herd Muna, or she would give him such a thrashing!

Anyway...Mom said little Hurry! was far too herdy for a normal pet home, and that he needs to be a working dog. Uncle Bill (I love him, he ALWAYS has tons of treats in his pockets!) called Uncle Jay, who runs a sheep farm. He told him all about the "Herdy One". Uncle Jay was very interested. He called Mom, and it was all set. Hurry! was to go and live with Uncle jay on the sheep farm.

So Bill and Lin came and picked up Hurry! and took him for a long drive out to the country. They took him to see Jay.

Jay really liked him. Hurry! was not so sure about these new critters with the wool all over them though. They were VERY interested in him.

Hurry! also made a new friend. His name is Mike. He is a Maremma, a guardian of the sheep. He is the same age as Hurry!, but he is MUCH bigger.

I think they are going to be friends. I also think Hurry! is going to be a great herding dog, and those sheep best learn to respect that little pup...cuz he ain't going to be little much longer!

Love;
