Rebecca, Irena Farm Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Here he is working sheep for the first time a couple weeks ago! (Finally downloaded some pics from the camera, ) Karen's working him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
painted_ponies Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 How cool is that. Thank you again for giving this guy a chance. For those of you who don't remember Mel, he was one of our rescues. Although he'd done fine in multi-dog foster households, once he was the only dog in his adoptive home he became quite the resource-guarder, ultimately biting a neighbor's child (who wasn't injured, thankfully). We had come to the difficult decision that unless an experienced home could be found for him, Mel would have to be destroyed. Becca came to his rescue. Becca - Sarah would be so thrilled to see this picture. I think I'll email her this link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smileyzookie Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 That brings tears to my eyes! (yes yes Im turning into my mother - so emotional lol ) That is wonderful. Thanks to everyone who helped Mel, and others like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca, Irena Farm Posted February 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Mel is still doing very good - doing little outruns and is learning flanks on command, etc. He's SUCH a nice boy. I can't decide whether I like him or Eddie best of everyone with us right now. Eddie's actually here so he's my current fav. Eddie is so easy to work, too - it's hard to believe he came here because he just had no idea about listening to people. I've got to post pics of our newest boy Indy, maybe next week. He's the biggest Border Collie I've ever seen in my life, and I've seen some big ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
