bend it like Finn

Finn is the farm manager here at Little Falls. I had seen sheep dog trials on TV and knew border collies were smart and obsessive-compulsive, but I never really got to know one. He is a very intelligent dog, and he truly does herd anything he can, from obvious things like the chickens and goats, to inanimate objects like the turkey pen. He and Pucci are Autumn lovers, and I walk them a mile up to the main road every afternoon to collect the mail. Along the way, there are a series of Finns toys: basketballs, soccer balls, kick balls, which he wants you to kick to him along the way. It's fun and funny - hunting season opened today so the dogs are sporting handsome bright orange collars.
