It is with great sadness that I announce the disappearance of our faithful sheep dog, Poppy. Last seen romping off with Cashew, her daughter into the muddy distance to chase rabbits and whatnot, Poppy has walked the mountains with hundreds of different people, from diverse cultures, and with many a differing accent, limping her way with her much loved sheep, through good and bad weather, good and bad tempered shepherdesses and shepherds, she was a credit to the border colley race. I know that many of the people who were able to experience the ancient tradition thanks to her intelligence and adaptability will remember her with fondness and will join with me on sending her many thanks. I am still contacting the local mairies just in case...
here is a photo of Poppy, note the formation around the poor hedgehog, which i hasten to add was left completely unharmed.......
