More travel

I was visiting the blog list this morning and this posting reminded me of a highlight of our tour in Ireland. We'll be treated to some sheep dog trials. I got quite excited when I read that part of the itinerary.

Sheep dogs at work are just the best thing to watch. I love their agility and speed. And I enjoy their feistiness. It's just astounding what these determined dogs can accomplish with the silly sheep. I love wool but I do think that sheep are not lovable animals.

Although I am more of a 'cat person' , I admire these dogs because they are so good at what they do and seem so darn happy in their work. This happiness must be, I think, a direct result of being good at their job. I can identify with that.
