| COMMANDS "Away" / "Away to Me" = Move around (circle) the sheep in an anti-clockwise direction A is for Away - Anti-clockwise "Come-Bye" = Move around (circle) the sheep in a clockwise direction C is for Come-Bye - Clockwise "Get Back" / "Get Out" = The dog is too close, it must keep further out and give the sheep more room "In Here" = Move through a gap between sheep to separate them - when shedding. The dog will then be expected to drive one bunch of the separated sheep away "Lie Down" = Stop, lie down, slow down or just stand still - but often used to slow the dog down. Intelligent things Border Collies - good ones can usually tell which the handler means by the tone of voice "Look Back" = The dog must leave the sheep it's working and turn around to look for more sheep. An advanced "look back" can be done in such a way as to indicate to the dog which direction the new sheep are located "Stand" = Stand still - the dog must stop but remain on its feet - often used just to slow the dog's speed or get the dog to allow the sheep to go further ahead of it "Take Time" = The dog should slow down - usually used when the dog's likely to push the sheep too hard and therefore panic them "That'll do" = The dog must stop what it's doing and return directly to the handler "There" = Stop flanking (circling) and move straight towards the sheep "Walk Up" / "Walk On" = Move straight towards the sheep in a calm fashion without spooking them |

10 I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to
show it.
11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation,
whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

| "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." When I was about 3 or 4 years old I had one of my first lessons on "respect". (a unspoken lesson) We were behind the rodeo stands going to our seats. They started to said the "Pledge" and Daddy stopped in his tracks, took his hat off and place it over his heart (as did all the other folks still behind the stands). We stood there in that same spot for the National Anthem & the prayer. Back in those days there was no one walking around while this was going on. We couldn't see a flag and there wasn't a bunch of people watching you to impress. That's just what people did back then to show respect for flag, God & country. |
