No sheep in sight, but this Australian sheep dog was born to be a hard worker! We passed this couple in a remote* cove where we'd driven to see the iceberg. The day was sunny, but breezy and often greatly windy which added up to "chilly". For a Newfoundlander, it must have seemed a warm day as many were jogging the steep hills wearing shorts and tank tops. I would peg these folks as tourists of the healthy, hiking variety!
Pam and I have so many photos we want to share! I'm at a disadvantage without my own computer, but I'll make do. Ken's keyboard is abysmal, so I may not write many comments until I'm back up and running better. Will post one more and then must get rest.
I look at my watch and read 11:00, but I forget Newfoundland runs One Half Hour later! Don't ask... I have NO idea!
* and REMOTE describes every little inlet on this island. "Towns" consist of 20-50 houses...
That poor dog looks ovoaded..... We know the story of the 30 minute difference in time delay for Newfoundland. Will get into to you,-- interesting, But it may not happen till we all return from Canada. We leave the 30th and have a family of four from Brazil arriving the 21 for a week. Don't know how we're going to get the RV loaded and ready. It
s usually a several day at the last minute job -- food from fridge, laundry and getting clothes, etc. in.......l we're going to be entertaining and showing our friends all over San Diego while they're here. (the guy was a high school exchange student with us in 1982).
I'm sorry not to see a Newfoundland dog beside them! That is what you do when you need to exercise the dog more than just a walk. These sorts of dogs need tons of exercise!
Gee whiz, that sweet pup takes the phrase working dog" to a whole new level. I'm going to have to borrow the world globe I gave my granddaughter so I can keep up with you and Pam!
@joansmor I am actually not sure it is that kind of work - I know of sheepdogs and cattle dogs to a lot of running around chasing after sheep and cows - I have never seem them with packs - interesting
