And here she is!

Our new English Shepherd…Pokey Two or Okie.  Just don’t expect her to come when you call using her real name, Bonnie.  For some reason she likes Pokey and Okie.

This also seems to be her favorite place: the front steps of the library.  From here she can watch the driveway for intruders and the cows in the main pasture.  And, of course, watch for cats.  Pokey One thought cats belonged in the basement and would put them there.  Pokey Two thinks cats belong outside.

Pokey/Okie barks when cars enter the driveway but she loves visitors and immediately decides where they belong as well.  She’s very well-behaved with company (mostly because they spoil her) but is mischievous when we’re alone.  She collects anything she can find and puts it in a pile in the family room.  She also keeps checking to be sure her “things” are still there.

On the other hand, it makes it easier for me to find my shoes.
