Daisy imitating Lassie

Have spent a lazy day.  Oldest daughter made a tiny grocery store run for me, wanting me to stay put, and that was a treat.  Watched the second Jason Bourne movie during naptime (this makes five times I've seen it now), and made hamburgers and fries for dinner.  Gary's been at his shop making vapors (see vaporwoods for his work), so it's just been me and the kids.  Lots of chicken-watching.

A funny thing.

Daisy the pug has been a bit under the weather today with her cough re-surfacing, but she's okay....still, she's wanted lots of holding and cuddling.  I was sitting out back after dinner with the girls, watching chickens, and Daisy and Violet were out there with us. The least one took Madelyn the chicken to the far side of the yard to see if she could find her way back to the others. Usually they call out to one another, and always stay in a group.  We were just trying to entertain ourselves.  Lame, I know.  Anyway, Madelyn kept circling, not knowing which way to go, and finally, after listening to us yell at her, Daisy jumped down from my lap and rounded her back.  In addition to that, when we were ready to bring the chickens inside for the night, Daisy did the same thing, rounding them up and getting them to the back steps.

A pug doing the work of a sheepdog.  Pretty wild.
