Kandy and the Telling off!
For those people who love their dogs you will I hope get a chuckle from this incident.
Our dog Kandy is a Kelpie/Border Collie X.
With her keen herding interests she has developed over the last 4 years (nearly her whole life) an ability to round up our chooks at nighttime or any time we want the chooks to be put to bed.
So as usual last night she went down to the chook shed with me to put the chooks to bed. While I fed the chooks some scraps Kandy went around the back paddock to sniff out who and what had visited recently.
I then got busy checking on the chickens that we have and didn’t watch Kandy for a while. When I did call her she didn’t come to me like she should have, so I went looking. Yes you may have guessed that by now she was nose deep in the chook scrap area, eating with great gusto any piece of bread or other goodie she could find. I yelled at her to go home, which she instantly turned tail and did. (Yes she can be obedient when she wants to.)
The funny thing was that when I went to the house later and saw her on the backdoor step, she took one look at me and trotted off to her kennel. She well and truly knew that I was cross with her, even though it was at least 10 minutes or more since she had been sprung and I hadn’t said a word again to her. Who said dogs don’t know when they have been naughty?!
