Buddy, the Border Collie

This is Buddy, a great dog.

  He thinks he is in charge of the six goats on the farm. 

 
He is incredibly agile and pounces just like a fox when he is hunting mice.
Once, however, while trying to do a spinning 180 backwards twist in the air he landed in the barbed-wire fence.  The result was an emergency trip to the vet's on a Sunday afternoon. 

 
Thirteen stitches and a lovely pink shirt later, he was good to go.  The stitches were supposed to stay in for two weeks.  By the end of the two weeks, there were only two stitches left, he had chewed out the other eleven.  We used a collar, clothing, even industrial strength duct tape to stop him, but he is one persistent dog.

Apple Blossoms

 Kind of past their prime, but I was glad I made it out to photograph them.
