| Bandit's new dog booties. |
First time Bandit, our dog, met the llamas he took off running around the whole corral and he wouldn't stop. He ran and ran around and round occasionally reprimanding the llamas for getting too near the edge. He ran around so many times and so fast that he wore a deep path with a berm.
Many people might ask why is your dog running around the corral. Bandit is part Border Collie and part Australian Shepherd. I found the best explanation by Tracy J. Libby below.
"Border Collies have been bred for hundreds of years with a single goal in mind: improved herding ability. Because of this, they are high-drive, high-energy dogs that move faster than the speed of gossip. Unmatched in brains, instinct, and endurance, they can do just about anything—and do it superbly."

The gravel around the corral was hurting his feet so we tried on a pair of red dog booties that used to belong to our dear Blizzard, a Great Pyrenees. They were a bit big on him but they would do until his new booties came through the mail. We also bought some Paw Guard, a soft wax-like ointment that has healing properties, to put on the pads of his feet.

Bandit did so well we went ahead and put all four booties on him and he ran like the wind !

Bandit loves his job of "herding" the llamas. He looks forward to it everyday.
