Sign of the day: Can we teach Sydney to do this?

Municipalities across the pond post public notices about dogs and dog waste A LOT. For instance, our devoted readers might recall the Dog Monsters of Coole Park in Ireland or the classic "Bin the Poo" unhappy face also from Ireland.

This is a much more proactive -- less shame inducing -- approach posted on a fence outside a public garden on the Law Crescent in Dundee, Scotland. 

In the "most useful" category of dog tricks. 

A bucket of puppies!!!

The ladies' tour witnessed a working sheepdog demonstration at Leault Farm just south of Inverness. Much adorableness follows.

Our shepherd runs his border collies through herding drills.

Audience participation was an option during the shearing demonstration, and Alyse was among the volunteers. 

Chris and Brooke took turns feeding a lamb.

The shepherd then brought out a bucket of 27-day old puppies. We also got to cuddle with three pups who were a few weeks older. 

This puppy shows he already knows his job when it comes to keeping the lambs in line. 

Paula snapped this shot of me holding this curious collie pup.
