Well I had a fun weekend. Thought I'd share some pics!!
The first one, we took Merlin and Roofus over to my significant other's parents' house. His dad bought 6 baby ducks (now adults) (you can roll your eyes here) for his grandkid who just turned 6. Yes, they live in the suburbs.. apparently they expect the ducks will just fly away on their own.
Anyhow, here are Merlin's experiences "going ducking":
He never did let a single duck stray... pretty amazing considering he has never done ANY herding before! Pure instinct.
Roofus's attempt was hilarious, but I only took a video, and it's 33 megs, so I can't really share it. let's just say, he needs to stick to larger animals to herd!
Afterwards, I played frisbee with my pooches. Roofus is a great frisbee dog - except we don't do any of that him jumping onto or off of me stuff, given that he is 100# and HUGE! But he's very good at catching whatever I throw:
More coming in a second!
