An adventurous encounter

Shy puppy Hector facing billigoat Isard in the morning sun

Happy trio

Every day our lovely Border Collie Laïka enjoys her favourite hobby: barking among the rocks in order to have our goat Manon and billy goat Isard back in the stable. Without success in many cases as the grass is much more tasty and the view of the valley much more beautiful from the top of mountain.

Be prepared!

Like scouts, she is always ready for a walk and for help.

She knows the entire trek and even helps me cleaning them.

You do not believe me? Here is the proof:

 

Amazing dogs

How to deal with four dogs around a flock?

Mr. Serclerat who, with his wife, breeds Border collies in Aveyron, South of France, where our dog Hector was born, has found the way: he teaches them foreign languages:

Waterfall

Nice weather today and always a large blue sky. Let’s go up to a small cascade from a small creek which jumps into the Sant.

There Hector enjoys playing:

1-    He removes stones from the creek

2- and then puts some back into it.

He seems surprised when I tell him that this is an endless game!

Wonderful autumn

Small walk that morning, end of October, sun was shining and a nice wind was blowing.

 

 

The dogs ran everywhere and came back to me for a small rest.

 

Stones after stones

Since June, I have been cleaning old trails in my forest. Hard work.

But my two dogs enjoy helping me!

Laïka is snatching brushwood roots:

 

And Hector likes setting aside rocks. A real challenge in the creek!
