Yes, herding dogs sure love to "herd", don't they! My mini aussie has many jobs that she has to do every day and she thrives by doing them and pleasing me. I run her every day and do lots of nose work with her too. Herding dogs are so wonderful!
A great photo and the journalling as a darker shade of blue on that big sky is striking. Working dogs are just brilliant so I can understand why they mean so much to you. The orange and blue cluster and background is also striking.
