Alex is unusually mellow for a BC. He is also a pretty good traveler.

Our Yellow Lab, Caesar seems to be recovering well from his surgery. He had a bad limp and they found a fibrous tumor on a nerve in the paw. They removed it and his limp is nearly gone.

We have five Indian Running Ducks that we got as ducklings in April. They are nearly full-sized and supposed to be Alex's "herd". They are real characters! Barb has been using a PVC pole to herd them into their cage at night. Sunday, she picked up the pole to get Caesar out of the pond and the ducks formed a line and marched smartly into their cage! She had to get a rake to get them out of the cage! Hillarious!

I was thinking that we might need to get something for Asa (the BC) to herd. However, we live in town and can’t have livestock. So, whatever is done, it has to be a “pet.”

I’m glad they figured out and removed that tumor. Asa limps from time to time but I think it is because he slids into everything. He’s only five months old and can be a bit awkward.
