Pokey gets the idea…sorta…

….ok…it’s still only sheep…and if you make a mistake and praise her, she’ll break-off and come over for a pat….but these are even “new” sheep!  Pokey went to an adjacent field to find the flock…rounded-them up…moved them through the gate in the background…. and brought them to trainer Monroe Williams of Strasburg.

Monroe has now decided to move his classroom to Thistle Hill to start working Pokey with the real thing:  cattle.

Of course, Pokey idolizes Monroe.  She’s less impressed with us.
