| After the show we were invited to walk the property to see the beautiful coastline. |
We were enjoying a car trip through Wales, courtesy of our cousins, when we happened upon a sheepdog exhibition. Sheepdog trials are very popular and winning the top ribbons is coveted. This particular farm raised and trained sheepdogs and held exhibitions for the public. It goes without saying that these very beautiful and smart animals delighted the crowd--old and young alike. They worked the sheep but also goats and geese, showing off their playful personalities.

| This beautiful Welsh sheepdog reminded me of my childhood family dog, Teddy Boy. He would "work the chickens" by catching, and holding without harm, the one my mother singled out to cook for Sunday lunch. |
