On today's episode of "Adventures of a Mutton-Buster" we find our derpy-est border collie (Nano) picking a fight with Millie the Komondore. Just as he is about to get soundly trounced, Hanne the cranky Marema sweeps in like an avenging angel and saves his sorry Derpy bacon.
Then we find the sheep obstructing the gate to their grain pen with Genius-farmer on the other side. Genius (and we use this term with great alacrity) figures the best option is to drive them off the gate since the snow obstructs opening it the other way (and who wants to go find a shovel?). Unfortunately, Star herding dogs Dot and Mik are not up to this task, insisting that they push the sheep to Genius, and therefore closer to the gate. Oh no! Mixed signals somewhere! (Possibly in Genius, who is missing an integral command).
But wait! Genius has a brainwave! (Oh Oh). Why not fire star herding dogs, and instead enlist the help of......
... None other than Braniac-Border-Collie Sheepdog-In-Training Superstar-in-her-own-Mind....LEX!
Braniac is more than up to this task, except that her understanding of it is limited to "chase sheep!". So Genius calls her back, takes her by the collar, and ducks around the gate dragging Braniac (Note to Genius: Take a leash out tomorrow) in between the gate and the flock. Genius lets Braniac go and she sweeps the gate, the sheep begin to move off, and it looks like..Succes....WAIT! Derpy dog races to the back and shoves the sheep right back onto the gate! Genius gets pinned! Bad Derpy! Genius fires Derpy and calls Braniac to come to her, effectively shoving the sheep off the gate, Gate swings open, sheep get to their grain, and another task is marked successfully completed with minimal frustration and ZERO bloodshed.
Will tomorrow be as lucky? Stay tuned for our next episode of..."Adventures of a MUTTON-BUSTER"
When life goes awry...the adventures in misadventure of a hapless human and her cohorts in crime!
