Last night, as I did the final barn check, Hank started barking out behind the barn. Maisie immediately jumped up to go see what a. was going on b. if Hank needed help c. if she needed to relay a message to the rest of the sheep d.....I'm not exactly sure.
What I do know is no one else consistently watches out the back of the barn like she does. No one else jumps up and goes running to see what is going on when Hank barks. I'm not sure if she's just a busy body or if she is part of the protection team or is just Hank's friend and is worried about him or...
What I do believe is she understands something more about Hank's relationship to the flock than I think anyone else does. And I find her endlessly fascinating.
