Light hearted topic
While visiting some friends last Saturday I took my Collies with me to Texas. It was for a Wake for lack of better term for a friend that passed from esophageal cancer.
The Collies were in the back yard running and playing. My friends grandchildren were in the house afraid to come outside because of the Collie’s ( one had been bit by a small dog in the face). After about a hour they couldn't take it anymore and slowly ventured outside but would run back in when the Collies got close.
This went on for a little while then they got brave enough to pet Sawyer. It wasn't long before they were all playing together and having a blast.
When it came time for the grandchildren to go home they had to go hug the Collies to say goodbye.
I was especially proud of Sawyer for not jumping on them in play. He was extremely gentle although he outweighs them by a considerable margin. I supervised all play outside to make sure they didn't get to rough.
