We'll turn the dust to soil,
Turn the rust of hate back into passion.
It's not water into wine
But it's here, and it's happening.
Massive,
but passive.


Bring the peace back

Oooh he does look adorable and I would love some help with my sheep but I have never trained a sheepdog and it's a little far from Wiltshire!  I hope you find him a lovely home. Such a shame if he doesn't get to do what he loves.

wow, how lovely is he!  Sadly I also live inconveniently far away (North Wales) and have no experience (although my welsh teachers husband trains them , so I could get lots of advice?).  Also not sure if the bank would stretch - we went to annual working dog sale in Bala this weekend ... £450 - £2800 whilst I was there!!!!

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.

Let go of who you are and become who you are meant to be.
