Bob finally coming out of hiding, he thought he'd keep out of the way when the young ones were out and about.

Lazy days in the sun

Taking a Sunday morning rest.

Always a good day when you see a big smiley faced lamb

So cute, new use for an incinerator!

[Barbara Sykes & Vicki Metcalfe @mbccdogtraining]

sleepless nights, long days, money spent, patience tested - lambing! Happy days.

[Barbara Sykes & Vicki Metcalfe @mbccdogtraining]

Happy Easter everyone

[Barbara Sykes & Vicki Metcalfe @mbccdogtraining]

Not quite sure what to make of this white stuff!

[Barbara Sykes & Vicki Metcalfe @mbccdogtraining]

Must be some sheep somewhere! Gail working her way through the drifts.

After work a quiet few minutes reading the local newspaper. Sniffing out who's been here, when and how long for.

[Barbara Sykes & Vicki Metcalfe @mbccdogtraining]

Very serious about her work.

[Barbara Sykes & Vicki Metcalfe @mbccdogtraining]

'So she's bringing a young dog if for training, we'll see about that'. A bit like a scene from High Noon🙂

[Barbara Sykes & Vicki Metcalfe @mbccdogtraining]

It appears they have be in on everything, even watching Vicki sheepdog training. Clearly giving their point of view!

[Barbara Sykes & Vicki Metcalfe @mbccdogtraining]

Happy Sunday morning folks. A beautiful start to the day.

Please mum, don't let that sheep get me.

[Barbara Sykes & Vicki Metcalfe @mbccdogtraining]

We love a happy face getting ready for work

[Barbara Sykes & Vicki Metcalfe @mbccdogtraining]

A bit of time out to check the local news, who has been before and who has lingered for a while.

[Barbara Sykes & Vicki Metcalfe @mbccdogtraining]

The three wise belties!

[Barbara Sykes & Vicki Metcalfe @mbccdogtraining]

Fun in the snow. Might be a headache on the farm but to this working pup the snow is just sheer fun.

Can't beat a happy recall after working sheep
