BooBoo comes with me every evening to put the cows through to their evening field. We have to move Lady Astor far away from the barn where her big calf sleeps or she opens the door and lets him out. 
He is stood here looking at me for the “bring ’em up” instruction. When I make this call he will leap at the cows heel (he is a heeler) and they will pop straight through the gate.
But these two big beasties stopped right inside the gate and looked awfully big all of a sudden. They know where they are going so there is seldom much herding to be done. However we do need to shut that gate!
So, yes BooBoo – bring ’em up.
This really is Boo’s favorite job and he enjoys being able to work off leash at last.
It is Monday and I have family arriving on Wednesday so you can imagine the list. Murphy’s Law determined that the belt broke on the mower too.
Ah well.
I hope you have a lovely day.

I’ve never known why some dogs are named “blue heelers,” and I never explored it. Now, I get it.
I have missed keeping up with you, Miss C. Lovely to have family coming. I’ve been reminded today that the only certainty in life is change. A thing that is a living breathing part of every day on the Farmy. Hoping to come be a helper one of these days.
Lady Astor is too clever! It’s nice to see Boo out working 🙂
Dear Boo, So much work to do & so well done. And that dreadful Murphy, ever ready to lay down the law. I hope you don’t have to haul the mower off to a shop for a week – or two – as I’ve
had to do many a time. Finally found a man to come with his own mower & do it for me. I was ready to dig up that grass & make a meadow.
It will all be fine. I’m up your way working Monday thru Friday this week if you need anything.
Good Dog BooBoo. Oooh an exciting week ahead indeed 🙂 Laura
Clever dog is Boo…the heat in Bulgaria is unbearable..yesterday we had sudden thunder storm..plenty of rain..and then the sun..its like a sauna… Have an enjoyable time with your family….lots of love
Happy, lovely, clever Boo!
Hoping that the weather stays nice and cool when the family is on the Farmy! Gosh, it’s been such a cool summer for you up there! I remember posts from years ago when you wouldn’t allow yourself to look at the temperature, and forbid yourself from saying or thinking the “HOT” word!!! What a different summer this year!!! xoxoxo
Those cows are giving Boo the stink eye for sure 😉
They appear to be waiting for Boo to bring ’em up as well with their necks craned around to look in his direction. Family coming! How wonderful! It is pouring down rain here at the moment. The sound of distant thunder and heavy raindrops is a welcome sound. Good luck with your list today.
I hope the belt is the only thing that trips you up in your preparations. It’s nice if the disaster happens with plenty of time, or at least adequate time to be fixed. 🙂
Ah Boo! I do so love his expression and the pictures Saturday of him were wonderful. I am so happy he can do a few things again and that you worked through the ACL. It will still bother him I am sure at times – cold and wet – but you got to keep him mentally intact by doing what is best for him. Huge belly rubs from Texas!
Large cows stopping barely inside the gate. Some drivers think their end is right after their ears and don’t realize – so human like HAHA
Go Boo!
Have a lovely time with your family!
