Super-Duty Border-Collie, a versatile employee...

Lex helped me shell peas on Sunday.

I had picked them, came back in, let her out of her crate and settled into the best-chair-ever with a bowl of pods to shell.  The job went something like this:

Lindsay:  Grab pod
Lindsay: Shell out peas into bowl
Lindsay: Toss empty pod into bucket at foot of chair.

Lex: Pick pod up out of bucket
Lex:  Take pod across the living room
Lex: Drop empty pod in random location.  Maybe chew on it a bit before going back for another.

Repeat.  Repeat.  Repeat.

Apparently, she is indispensible.  I could not have shelled the peas without her.

Forgive the crappy pictures



Best help ever! 

(Whatever, Lex.  I think I need to teach you to clean up your own messes.)

Nah.  That's the mom's job.

(Whatever, Lex...)

Hey, I have fans now.  Remember the demo?

(I remember.  That was wacked.)

I was the best.  I have fans.

(More on that later.  And she was the best at being the entertainment, not at demonstrating proper sheep dog tactics.  :-) )
