Well, this little chap certainly made quite the entrance! His introduction post last week has now had over 25,000 views.
I’m not going to lie… I’m running on very little sleep. Anyone who knows me knows I’m hopeless without a decent, uninterrupted night’s sleep! But I’m sure it’ll all be worth it in the end.
Tonight Bruce got a much closer introduction to the sheep than just watching them through the kitchen window. He’s barked and growled at them a few times over the last week, but that’s settled down a lot already. This evening we stopped the traffic while the sheep were moved from one park to another ready for shearing. There were plenty of sheep running about, yet he took it all in his stride and seemed surprisingly relaxed, lying down beside me.
One thing I’ve noticed though… he’s definitely much braver when there’s a fence or some other obstacle between him and whatever he’s investigating! The other night he was growling at a big Boxer dog… then promptly hid behind me afterwards. 😂
After all that excitement this evening, he curled up on my lap and snoozed for a couple of hours.
Now the only question is… what time will he decide we’re starting the day tomorrow? 🐑🐶💙
