Now you might think well ya I guess Chris' Dad lives in Alberta and there was that new movie about Sheperds filmed there and so that makes sence.....but nnooooooo... you see this is so out of the ordinary. First off my parents are full on city people eventhough my mom was raised on a farm, their lifestyle if basically small city living. Mom's a nurse and Dad's a finatial planner, sits in an office all day and sells people life insurance or RRSP or investments. Anyways I've never seen my dad do any physical activty besides shovel the sidewalk and moe the lawn, ever since his falling into the car pit in Whitehorse when he was in his 20's.




Ok so ya my dad is 67 has a big belly and well doesn't really strike me as the kinda a guy who would go rangle up some sheep. But he did with a couple of other guys and although he didn't shear them, cause well you really should leave that up to the pros he was there trying to push them from behind, pick them up, tickle them on their belly, anything that would get them to move. He said they are pretty stubburn like a mule sometimes ya just can't budge them. He was also describing the sheep dog that would just love chasing the sheep around and then would go into a pose just like this, staring the critter down all bent over..



It sounded like a great time. Who knew that my Dad could go out and do something so cool. I felt a litle bit of a bond. Like some of my random behavior was potentially inherited, well at least for that moment anyways.

Go Dad!
