Half moon rising

Denny is back from a week in New Orleans so I get a break. Unseasonably cool this week but still lots of people and dogs in the park. We're managing pretty well, although a couple of days ago, Zorro had a meltdown over a boxer who went by too close and gave him a dirty look. Nothing I couldn't handle, just lots of barking.
I've noticed, now that the park is more crowded, that a lot of people are fascinated by Zorro. When I used to walk Snoop, it wasn't unusual for people to comment on his good looks, but with Zorro, they are intrigued. They want to know if he's a real border collie, and if so, is he really smart? Maybe they've seen sheepdog trials on TV or YouTube, or seen one of those "smartest dog" lists. (BCs are usually at the top).
We're scheduled to take him to a farm in Berryville in a few weeks to see how he does with sheep. Should be interesting. Off to WV today which is a little dicey because the moon rises around 3 and it's a clear day.
