When there's no sheep to herd.. 😅

Back when I was a boy scout leader, we referred to our efforts at winter or summer camp as trying to herd cats. Herding cats is not an easy task even for a border collie. Borders are amazing herding dogs. If you ever get a chance, go to a herding competition/trial.
