Herd any good ones lately?
My sister's dog Sherman is a sled dog, so I'm not sure why she took it herding. But that's what she did. Sherman, as two or three of you know, is my sister's newest dog. He's a samoyed and I guess he's about 6 or 7 months old now. He and my dog Rocket took obedience class together. Sherman came in first. Rocket, well, he came in last place.
My sister, who lives in Torrance, also has another samoyed named Cosmo and a husky named Jenny.
Anyway, here's Sherman chasing some goats around.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

Josh Grossberg grew up with the usual array of animals: goldfish, dogs, hamsters, parakeets and turtles. He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.

First, those are sheep, not goats.
Second, Samoyeds are working dogs. The can do herding, agility, sledding, weight pull, and more things than I can remember. I think you're jealous because Rocket is limited to braying.
What kind of animal person doesn't know a goat from a sheep?
I didn't realize there was a difference.
Mary had a little lamb, not a little goat.
This is a lamb:

What's your point?
Just wanted to bug my little brother before his birthday. :-0
