Shelties, shepherding is in their blood. Bred in Scotland for this very purpose, it’s no wonder they have a strong urge to do it. In fact, they’ll herd just about anything. Shelties are intelligent and agile dogs, and they are very good at following commands. They are also very protective of their flock. So when Frodo, a city sheltie, visited a farm for the first time, you would think he would know what to do. Well…

Imagine isto: É meio-dia, estamos com pressa e queremos que nosso novo filhote faça cocô no gramado. Já passamos por isso antes. Algumas coisas estão fora do nosso controle. Podemos querer que ele faça o que precisa ser feito, mas ele quer comer a grama, mastigar um graveto, brincar com a formiga que passa pelo seu focinho ou talvez apenas falar sobre trevos. Mas se formos pacientes o suficiente, talvez possamos aprender alguma coisa.

Frodo, o sheltie, está com seu pai humano, Gord, no gramado. Gord está perdendo a paciência porque tem coisas importantes para fazer e não tem tempo para ficar esperando Frodo fazer cocô. Frodo, que claramente não está tentando fazer cocô, diz: "Você sabia que o trevo pode causar alergias em algumas pessoas, mas na verdade é bastante saudável. E você sabia que é simbólico de..." Gord interrompe rude e abruptamente, dizendo: "Sim, sim, Frodo, vamos logo..."

Frodo, o sheltie, faleceu, e hoje George, o filhote, está com Gord, que está em uma cadeira de rodas. Eles estão no gramado. Gord pode ver que seu novo filhote não está fazendo cocô. Ele está divagando sobre trevos, assim como Frodo costumava fazer no passado. Mas Gord está ouvindo desta vez. Quando George diz: "Você sabia que trevos são simbólicos de fé, esperança e amor?" Gord, com uma leve lágrima no olho, lembrando-se de Frodo, diz: "O George, me fale mais sobre isso."

Picture this: you’re quietly sitting at your mum’s feet, gnawing on your silent confidant, Monkey, while listening to the adults talk. Mum and dad have friends over. You’re not entirely sure what they’re saying, but let’s be honest, none of it really matters anyway, that is, until you hear your name. Sure, everything between your name is still gibberish, but whatever it is, it’s the sound of happiness.
