It’s not been my day today.

I took a pile of photos to show how ‘Ster has worked out how to get into the field, when everyone else has gone under the fence and left him.

But my camera ate the photos (or I deleted them as I don’t really understand my phone’s filing system).

Anyway, I have half of them.  And after making my sheep, I found ‘Ster outside by himself, waiting patiently for me.

I went inside and got a packet of biccies.

I rattled the packet and Ster quickly realised what I wanted him to do.

He knows the routine. We devised it together.  I rattle biccies, I open the gate into the garden, he walks through and down to another gate that leads into the field.

And then I open the garden/field gate and he walks through and gets a biscuit as a reward for not eating OH’s garden plants.

But my camera ate the photos and you will never know this because you can’t see it so therefore it probably never happened.

(but I have written about this before – https://myshetland.co.uk/helping-ster/).  The photos were better today, though.  They really showed the good behaviour and the non plant eating. I will try again another day.  This routine happens pretty regularly.
