As you know, we added a Border Collie, Finnbar, to our pack last summer. And yes, I did spell his name wrong at first.
He turned out to be quite a dog. He can fetch toys, jump up on the snowmobile trailer when asked.....
As well as when not asked. He can paw you on the head when you try to sit there with him, because he is a big boy for a BC, and he is over endowed in the paw department.
He can also bark.
Play bitey face with his brother. And eat newspaper. His hefty fur coat can collect mud like your best sneakers when you have to go to the barn to calf check after you go out to dinner.
However, what we haven't mentioned is his degree in veterinary medicine. Finnbar Friers, DVM.
He already had his Masters degree when we got him, majoring in Cow Control, along with minors in house breaking and kibble cleanup. Recently he has been sharing my computer to do online classes in large animal medicine. He also took extra courses whenever he could in artiodactyla obstetrics. That is not an easy elective but he aced it.
His grades were so outstanding that he has been given a singular honor. He has been asked to observe and attend when April the Giraffe finally delivers that long awaited baby.
He is much calmer about it than we are!
And it all seems so fitting. Her name. The name of the month the baby is expected. Today's date. It's like karma, serendipity, and fate all wrapped up in one big taco.
