Luke was up with the Icelandic chickens this morning, this boy does not believe in jet lag. After breakfast we took a long walk on a long lunge line around the fenced part of the farm so he could see the sheep outside and they could see him. there was also a little snarling on the part of Emily, but that is natural. So , he got to see the area he is to patrol under control. He really is very smart and obedient. these dogs are usually introduced to the flock when they are puppies so that they naturally adopt the sheep , or goats as their family. I have to do things slowly with Luke since he is older and didn't have that experience. But, since he didn't have an actual home and family I think that this transition will be easier that a dog who was attached to humans. We just can't rush things. So I am taking him out now and then later tonight . And then again in the morning tomorrow. So far so good.
