Being an off to work at Hospital day, I left teh Ranch dark and early, driving through fog as expected.

Later, when Herself headed out to do morning rounds she took the Bros with her as usual. Getting back to the House, she started feeding the Dirty Yard Birds (chickens), then put Houdini on his line (he asked to stay outdoors) and turned around to put Squrrl back on his line.

No Squrrl. Called him. No response. Looked behind the House, calling. No Squrrl. Checked over on next door neighbors north pasture. No Squrrl. Checked over in our cow pasture. No Squrrl. Bother. Headed into the house to get her pouch with drivers license to go looking and

Man, Aussies and Border Collies NEED, nay, DEMAND full employment! ;-)

So glad the scare turned out to be a funny though! Best possible outcome. I know I've been terrified at my mutt boy out and about in the neighborhood as we're sandwiched in by two busy roads — and I have no reliable recall with him. We did basic obedience training plus AKC Good Citizen; constant reinforcement for two years and he still ignores my "come" commands every time. But if you're a guy, with a "guy" voice? No problem. He's your obedient dude. Bob never did any training with him but he can recall him 90% of the time. Unless, of course, he's escaped. Wheee!

Grrr...
