I couldn't find picture of Isis (basically, Isis look a lot like Luna, but she's at least 4 years older) or my dogs, so here is the other cat (well, Luna is my sister kitten, but I'm pet-sitting her so it's like my cat xD)
While reading this thread xD

(Sorry for the long message, but it wouldn't let me upload the picture on the MacRumors server (so it would just show as a file under the messages)

Went to a fete today for a Hospice and entered Bob in the "Best Rescue" category at the dog show and he won :)

Great story and I am delighted for you; congrats to Bob, Mrs MacRy and yourself.

Congratulations to Bob. Red rosettes are always the best to win :)

Cheers :)

Agreed.

He's won a few first places at these kind of things. I'm sure it's because of the sad back story and the missing eye. We think he's a handsome little fella though :)

He is a handsome 'little fella', but he also has presence, and looks superbly healthy and happy; his demeanour, healthy coat, bright character are all an absolute credit to you both.


Great picture - wonderfully atmospheric. Thanks for sharing.

… training up to herd sheep …

On TV, I don't recall ever seeing herding of sheep by anything other than border collies. Is that stereotypical view (shepherding = border collie) peculiarly British? (One Man and His Dog, and so on.)

The last dog I had, a German Shepherd, seemed to run intuitively in a sort of figure-of-eight around my bicycle. I imagined that it was a herding instinct.

That may be simply a result of your location and the breeds available. Our herding instructor has worked with lots of breeds including German Shepherds.


Wow check out those ears. He looks like he has bear ears. That is one cool looking dog.

We get a lot of comments on those ears, from her looking like a bear to a hyena.

I assume that she is nowhere near her full size yet, but she is a lovely looking dog.

This is a breed I had never heard of, - I had to look it up - but of her 'relatives', the mountain herding breeds, (Moloser breeds of dog), I have indeed heard of, and seen, many.

It's so cute how dogs sometimes bond to their stuffed animals. It doesn't seem to matter how old or ragged they get either. They can get a new toy and they just go back to the same old crusty toy.
