“I haven’t given them enough credit”
Today I watched my 2 Americanized collies put their total awe into it.
Were they perfect? Absolutely Not!
But the try that I witnessed in aiding me out of both of them that I’ve religiously bi***ed about had me speechless. I didn’t just watch collies that tried working a herd, I also watched them latch onto noses to turn the fu***rs back in the heat of the moment while I was a one man team.
I’ve told people for years I believe I’ll never put time into another cow dog again after Odie.
Out of fear of disappointment bc that’s a Real Thing when you make the perfect cow / sheep dog and they leave you❤️
But maybe, I need to put my pride aside, big pants on and take the heartache of disappointment if it’s meant to be after watching 2 dogs, that literally live like coyotes, but quite obviously love the hell out of me and try their absolute hardest when I’m in a predicament - to the point where they were working on their own so hard that they were puking and stumbling.
If that isn’t ❤️ I don’t know what it is and it’s about time I start loving on them more🥹
