Dog advice needed

[YellowHammer]

Thats good news, whenever I go to work, or walk, or anything pretty much, I will take at least one with me.  Leashed up, so they can't wander, in a nice quiet place so they can watch me and get interested and then bored by it.  We always work basic commands, the primary one is sit, whenever we go anywhere.  Dogs are companions, and the more time they spend with a person the better the relationship will be.

My dog is getting old now, she is a border collie looking mix of cowdog breeds.  Had great hope that she might help me work cows, but she is scared of cows. But she kills rats, so earns her keep.  She loves my youngest granddaughter, 1 1/2 years old.  The little girl is not scared of her, so the dog licks her face.

One of our dogs was an "end of the road dog". A black and tan with good manners, I think he would have stayed right there till he starved "why did they drop you off?" He settled in and regained his strength, some time passed and it was time to sight in the rifle, and I found out why they dropped him off. Funny thing was he was fine around nail guns, saws, all the commotion of a jobsite but you couldn't even go near him with the scent of burnt powder on you and fireworks were a no go, we lost him in WI till July 5th morning when he turned up under the motorhome. I kept the old Dodge going for a half million miles, way past its due, because it was his truck.

As he got older storms started scaring him and like often happens it gets worse. I got home one evening after a storm and he was gone. I knew it was probably blind flight and he was lost. I started double driving the roads in the dark, up and back. Sure enough on the backtrip on a road about 5 miles from the house he was sitting by the road, I had to help him in he must have gone flat out, but he had heard his truck go by.
