Nope, his name is not really 'squishy', it's TROUBLE and boy, does he honor this name....just two days after we got him, he was trying out his herding instincts by nipping at Paloma, our horse, needless to say, she did not appreciate his efforts and kicked him away...Trouble quickly recovered, altough he is now a bit scared of anything bigger than a teenage turkey, we are trying hard to keep him away from the birds though, since I really, really need my birds to be free range...so far, we have been letting the turkeys and 5 of the roosters go out every day into the pasture...we realized the first evening that we needn't worry about their safety at night because they were literally begging to come into the coop to roost with the others...
But back to Trouble....Remy named him the day we picked him out of a litter of five, Mr. Sassafras did not really like it, but the name has stuck...he is overall an adorable pup and we hope he will overcome his fear of large animals and become a good sheep herder...he does bark at the sheep once they are safely on the other side of the fence, and he is waaay out of harm's way...hey, better safe than sorry, right? he also, inevitably runs off with our shoes, and does not return them unless he is offered a 'cookie', he is lucky we love him so much.
