This border collie is so excited to be working at the farm
Noel Kirkpatrick August 19, 2017
The day on a farm starts so early that it’s easy to imagine that you’d get worn out pretty quickly. Unless you happen to be a border collie.
This border collie either paced itself all day, consumed an energy drink (kidding … please do not let your dog consume an energy drink) or just started its day, but the dog is so very pumped to spread some hay. The dog’s farmer companion can’t even keep up with the pup! The hay is barely on the pitchfork before the border collie has yanked it off the truck and shaken it around the ground.
This seems like an efficient way to spread hay, too. The border collie gets to expend some energy, the human just has to stand on the bed of a truck and the hay goes exactly where it needs to. After this, maybe they go and sit on the porch and admire their hard work. Or they go and herd sheep. Seeing the energy level of this dog, it’s probably sheep herding.

Have a brilliant weekend!
Border Collies are one of the brightest & most industrious breeds. This was a pleasure to view! Thanks, Paul!
Lovely to hear that! Have a wonderful weekend, Susan.
Fun to this Border Collie work. Thanks for sharing, Paul 🙂
My pleasure! 😍
Beautiful to observe… I grew up on a farm and loved how animals were all allowed to run free… Barbara x
That’s nice to hear. Presumably that didn’t extend to the livestock! 😀 Or was it an arable farm?
Oh yes we had a dairy farm and I remember the machines being put in to milk the cows instead of hands… lots of cats, hens, a horse and dogs. A great memory, riding the cows and horses bareback! Sometimes I wonder where we all began to lose the plot and lose our sense of freedom… much love, barbara
Sounds like a very lovely, carefree upbringing. Couldn’t be more different to me playing as a young child in the numerous bombsites of NW London in the early years after the end of WWII.
💥wow… how unique all our experiences are and just as important. 😘
Yes, each and every one of us has our special story to tell. The trick, and not an easy one by any means, is turning off the narrator in our own heads so we can fully listen to the other person’s story. (Sorry, didn’t intend to go all philosophical!)
I agree, it’s about honoring each journey…
3 bum swings! 3 more!💜

Thanks for the chuckle Paul!
Val, always a great pleasure!
Will come back to watch this a little later Paul and hope your weekend was a good one back then.. LOL
