That's Shiloh's "Can we get on with the walk, please?" face. I had stopped on our way out of the yard to snap a picture of my garden. He sat down between me and the garden and gave me The Look.

Obedience is going fine. He already knows the stuff, but it's really good to socialize with other dogs because he can be quite aggressive with them. He has very little patience with wiggly happy all-over-the-place dogs. They are all friendly, but he has to make everything orderly. I guess that's what sheepdogs do. He's gotten over his fear of groups of kids when we're out walking, but if they want to pet him, he still gets very fearful. Little by little, we are making progress.
