Here are Ally and I at our lesson last week. A bit of a goal accomplished here actually. . . because I am trusting her enough to walk and look forward, having my back to Allison and the sheep. Trusting her to do her job keeping the sheep a following me!  We bungled most of our getting the sheep thru the panels this day, only getting some of the sheep some of the time thru. But our driving was quite good and I think that she has understood the principle of both of us walking behind the sheep. This will morph later into just Ally driving the sheep around while I stand in one spot. She also put them in the pen easily, except for one sheep who hid around behind.  No problem, Ally here. She put them all back out while fetching the lost  one. Then all back in, with some swell moves.                                                                                                                                                           For the top photo,  Ken has walked onto the sheep field with Ally, told her “Okidowki, and she has brought him the sheep around his feet. Just look at that smile on her face!
