Daisy's new job

Daisy has a new job. She needs things that make her feel important and like she's got a purpose. Her new job is herding Yorkies.

Dave and Karen travel with two Yorkies and a toy poodle. Mandy, the poodle, is 14 years old, doesn't hear well and has cataracts. The two Yorkies, Snuggles and Gidget are young yet, 1 year and 3 years respectively.

Now Gidget and Snuggles are two very busy little dogs, although they're very good about staying in their campsite. They're running around sniffing on every blade of grass and playing "hoover" under the table during meal time. When Daisy first comes out of the RV in the morning, of course the Yorkies are out of what she considers their range so she runs over there barking at them and quickly circles the wagons back to where they belong (in her mind.) The first time the Yorkies were terrified and immediately rolled over on their backs and quivered. Now they just look over their shoulder and you can see them saying, "Oh, it's just that crabby old bag again" before they run to their "assigned" territory.

After working so hard all day keeping these little guys where they belong comes a well-deserved rest.



Is this a spoiled dog, or what???
Love Lena

Heheheheh!!! They don't call 'em Shepherds for nothing, Lena! She's got that herding instinct, by golly. Seems like dogs need a job, so they can feel useful, eh?
