I’m not trusted

Apparently, I run away and don't come back, sending everyone out to the fields in a panic, in case I've killed a lamb... as if.

Kim really isn't trusted off-lead. No matter how much recall training I do, sheep are much more interesting. Two dogs who can be trusted are Sheila and Ben.

Howdy!

At the Castlewellan Show last weekend, I bought a ball thrower from Guide Dogs. I've never had one before, I usually just kick a football for them. I was very excited about using it. Sheila was, too.

I threw it, and Sheila kept looking at me. It went so far, that she didn't realise I had thrown it at all. I had to walk towards it for her to notice where it was - and then she didn't give it back. She even went far away so I couldn't reach.

Hi. I'm far away. *Nom, nom, nom*

Ha ha! You can't catch me!

You still can't catch me!

You suck... because you still can't catch me!

HA HA... YOU STILL SUCK 'CAUSE YOU STILL CAN'T CATCH ME!!!

Eventually, I did catch her, and she got annoyed.

Give it to me!

Yeah. Thanks for ruining the shot!

You're welcome! Ball. Now. I will get angry..!

I worship you, oh, Mighty Ball Thrower!

You will throw the ball, won't you?

You threw the ball! Good woman yourself! Whoo-hoo!

Later on that evening, I brought Ben out, too. He was a bit confused at first, but soon understood what was meant of him.

Oh, right... get the ball. Got ya!

Ball now please! *Grrs from Sheila*

Ben has a whole range of ways to try and get the ball off Sheila. Jumping on her, grabbing her collar and pulling, nibbling her ears, lick her mouth, grab the ball from her mouth and give chase. There is also the 'lie down beside her and paw at her with your legs until she gets annoyed and drops the ball' technique. It's quite funny to watch.

And it also doesn't work. Time to give chase!

And also, for your enjoyment, in video form.

All of this messing meant that a ladybird was in bad drying ground.

Step on me... and I won't fly away... 'cause I'll be crushed... don't do it!

The ewes wanted food.

You have some nice grass there...

And the ball got killed.

Are you going to throw that?

 Are you going to let me go?

Are you going to include me in this post?
