River Story..


On the weekends when we go to the river at Devil's Hole,
 Bella usually sits in Kelly's truck.

 Bella loves the walk part and she loves to swim.
She will sometimes join in the games.
 But she's aggressive towards Kelly.
She waits for Roxy to have Kelly's attention and then she attacks.
Kelly just thinks it's part of the game.
For Bella, it's REVENGE!
Because
 Kelly is a Kelpie--a sheepdog.  Though she's an urban sheepdog and has never seen a sheep,
during lulls in wild games with Roxy...
 

 Kelly's sheepdog genes kick in and 
she 'herds' Bella.
 Kelly follows her everywhere and won't let Bella go where she wants.
 Even if Bella snaps or snarls....
Kelly just thinks it's part of the game.

We don't know why Bella is the only one she practices her skills on.
And I do not like to be herded!
(The peeps just think it's funny.)

  1. Bella if I was there I'd help you take on Kelly and we would herd her around.

    Aroo to you,

  9. Given the second photo, this post should be titled 'River Dance'.

    And Bella, I totally agree. You are definitely not a sheep.

  11. I am a ShetlandSheepdog and I don't think Bella is a sheep. Maybe that Kelly dog needs glasses to see Bella isnt a sheep? Lol

  14. Bella it appears you and Kelly have agreed to disagree.

  15. Bella we think that Kelly needs to come home with you and you can let her watch Animal Planet with you... when they have a show about SHEEP... so you can SHOW her that you are NOT one.

    In the meantime you should start and call Kelly a
    Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad Girl.

  16. Poor Bella - you don't look much like a sheep to us

  17. Herding dogs sure can be annoying to the non-herding types! They are such control freaks! I don't think a Kelpie would even notice a snarl. They will take on a bull if you give them the chance!

  19. Noah and Norma Jean like to herd the rest of us and we don't like it either. Mom send them to get us when she wants us to come in and we pretend not to hear her calling.

  21. I don't like to be herded either. It should be illegal to heard a dog. River thought this story was about her. Soryr.

  22. I'm so sorry, Bella! I know just how you feel. I think Molly is part sheepdog too because at times, she tries to herd me and I don't like it either!

    Love ya lots♥

  23. That is funny that Kelly only herds Bella and nobody else. You keep telling her Bella and maybe someday she will listen.

  32. Hey Bella!
    Wow, I think Kelly needs a nip on the heels to show her what it's like! BOL Oh, I bet you have so much fun at the river. I really wish I could be there with you. We'd do some great swim zoomies together.

  33. oh my stay safe. The river looks like fun. Some dogs are hard to handle in situations with tons of doggies, for example our Bob is an absolute no no at the dog park he picks fights
