Teddy is our hero tonight
(sorry this is so long)
Teddy is a Shetland sheep dog who is attached to my mother. Well, Teddy, my mom and me have a game where I hide my mom some where like in a closet and I then return to Teddy and say Teddy find mommy and he will go in search of her till he finds her, the game once lasted an hour, my poor mother sitting in a closet reading for an hour LOL. Also Teddy thinks of us as his sheep and we can NEVER get lost. With that in mind here is our story..
We went down to my grand parent’s "farm" They have no animals as to my grandmother animals are just a bother. They have a cow field though with barbwire all around. I asked my mom if we could go into the cow pasture and look for some milkweed. We left Teddy behind with my dad and Chewy was tied to a tree. Me my mother and my younger brother went in search of the milkweed. We went to the far right of the pasture and then crossed back over to the left and went up towards the river. Well, Teddy thought that us 3 "sheep" were lost somewhere in the big bad world and he felt the need to find us. Teddy followed my mom's scent, down towards the far right of the pastor. We spotted him down there and began to call his name, (you could tell he was following the scent because he nose was to the ground). He heard us yelling and came running as fast as his little old legs could bring him. When he found us he was so proud of himself. Of course we praised him like that was the greatest thing we had every seen. Well when we were done praising him it was back to business as he began to bark at us in a scolding voice and ran from person to person biting our shoes telling us how bad of sheep we are for getting lost. So we headed back up to the top of the pasture to get out of it. There was a pretty small opening to get out of the pasture and around the opening on the sides was barb wire. Well our lil Hero Teddy didn't see the barb wire and ran into twice. He hit his chest against it both times, it happened so fast we couldn’t stop him, we thought he was going to cut himself!!!!! Well when Teddy can't go threw something he tries to head but it and sure enough he lowers his head and begins to head towards it again, so I grab him by the scruff of his neck and pulled on him really hard and fast, which hurt him and shocked him so he began to bite me, but I feared that if I let him go to soon he would run into it again but this time faster so I didn't let him go till I got him on the other side of me so this time I could stop him. My mom carried him out and luckily he had no cuts on his chest or anywhere else. Well, everyone is safe and next time us bad sheep go wondering we will be sure to lock up the dog that always feels the need to find us. :rolleyes:

Re: Teddy is our hero tonight
I loved your story about Teddy.
I think your mom is wonderful/special for playing hide and seek.
What a good sport sitting and reading in that little
closet for an hour. :)
Teddy is a hero, I know if you ever really get lost
he will find you. Glad he did not get hurt.
