A Dog's Life: We recently discovered that there are "sheep herding clinics" nearby, where you can take your city dog to test out her sheep herding instincts (if they are of "working dog" descent). Laika tries to herd us, so we assume she would immediately take to sheep herding, fulfilling her destiny as a Kelpie. We're waiting to hear back from the herding clinic folk, and will keep you posted.
