Bo the Border Collie Says,

"Now That's the Way to Herd!"

 

A Kelpie's 
Night Before Christmas

By  Julie 
with help and inspiration from 
Nikke and Kylie

T'was the Night before Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, except maybe the cat
 
One Kelpie was tucked, all snug in her crate
dreaming of herding the sheep, as is all Kelpies' fate
 
The other Kelpie, a bit older in age,
still thought of herding, but also "HA, I'm not caged!"
 
The other dogs, no trouble lay sleeping on their beds
Their dreams not of sheep, but cookies instead!
 
Sometime after midnight, I am not sure just when
A big clatter awoke me, and I ran to the den
 
I looked out the window, and couldn't believe the scene
Two Kelpies herding Reindeer, working as a team
 
The Reindeer were lined, all up in a row,
With neither a balk nor blat given for show
 
I ran to the bedroom and started to video,
thinking of how much I would win on one of those home video shows
 
When all of a sudden, they all disappeared,
my Kelpies, the Reindeer and the toys and the sled
 
The Kelpies decided, it sure did appear
That they should not have to dream of herding instead...
 
They should keep up with Santa one night of the year,
and show the non-Kelpies how to herd without peer
 
So, tonight while you settle in for your sleep
Check that your Kelpies are dreaming of sheep!
 
 

 

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
