herding

Lucy was herding the pygmy goats this morning. The other dogs chase, she herds. She's good. She walks behind them, she has a penetrating stare that makes them nervous, and they run. She easily outruns them and turns them back around. If they stop, she stops and watches. One goat likes to rear and shake his head. Lucy waits until he's drops back on the ground and starts walking toward him. Sometimes she'll have them stuck in the middle of the yard and she'll run circles around them so they can't leave. This morning when I came out of the grower she had them on the porch and wouldn't let them leave. She was just sitting, waiting for them to try. Then we went to see the horses and Lucy forgot about the goats.
