June blog

• It’s been a really exciting month this month. First of all a really silly sheep got herself stuck on a cliff ledge on Morte Point. It was a really dangerous place, but the sheep didn’t mind, she just kept on eating the grass. In the end the boss and his friend got a rope and climbed down to rescue her. It’s just as well that Jake wasn’t there, he might have run off with the rope!!

• Then it was shearing time, and that was really hard work. Us dogs had to work so hard rounding up all of the sheep and bringing them back to the shearing shed. Even Gail came to help, and she thought that she had retired. The sheep were really pleased to be shorn, they were getting far too hot in their thick coats.

• When all of the shearing was finished, Jake and me thought that we might get a day off (Jake wanted to have a swim in the pond with his new stick!) But instead we had to gather up all of the sheep again, this time for the boss to give them an injection to stop them from getting a disease called ‘Blue tongue’ The sheep didn’t like having an injection, but at least they will stay healthy for another year. Sheep are so much hard work.

• I’m glad that all the jobs are done because we start our sheepdog displays next week. The boss says that we all have to be on our best behaviour, I hope that Jake was listening!!

• See you next month
