What a good girl am I !

It took some doing, but I've got your next film out of that annoying  little can for you!

 

 

Dateline Aug 6, 2008  ~  2 year old Cassie has now joined the team

 

Happy Cassie

Cassie has never been on the fells ..... or met sheep!

Training will have to commence a.s.a.p.

 

Dateline May 27th 2009

Sadly Gael died on April 20th 2009 after an horrific epileptic seizure from which she could not recover.

She was one month two days short of her fifth birthday.

Cassie is now in charge.

As of May15th she has spent two weeks on the fells ....... and been introduced to sheep:

She does not yet know how to open film canisters!

 

Dateline Jan 9th 2010:  and now we have Bess:  

 

9 week old Bess being held

 

May 2010 -  7 months old and her first visit to Border Collie heaven:

Thankfully Cassie still doesn't know how to open film canisters - otherwise she'd teach Bess!
