Cook and Val

[Seefutlung]

This was very odd, even in California. Monday, Cookie and I were out for our walk. When we spotted this ...

A little girl was taking her sheep for a walk as well ...

The owner said that Val loves dogs so I introduced Cookie to Val ...

The Cook thought Val was a very funny looking dog...

The little girl's name wasn't Mary, was it? Cuz that would be way cool!

Thanks Roger and Aggressor ...

Don't know the name of the little girl she was about 20 yards away waiting for Val to catch up with her. She had a leash for those times ... well when you just gotta have a leash. She was getting pretty annoyed with the sheep as Val was investigating new smells and stuff and not responding to commands. "Come on Val let's go ... Come on Val!!!" Then Val would trot up to her owner as in the opening shot.

I live near hourse trails and horse property ... ag zoning ... so if one can have a horse I guess one can have sheep. Typically, The Cook is not on a leash as she will not cross a street until we look both ways and tell her that it's okay (even chasing a cat she'll stop at the curb). But I thought it would be best to leash her when she met Val. After some sniffing they played a bit, and I noticed all the meat on Val's legs and her shiney, sharp hoofs ... and I'm thinking that she could really do some damage if she ever connected a right hoof ...

So it was kinda hard to get some good snaps as I was very close and all I had was my 60mm macro.
