I am a working dog

I am a working dog.  The work I do around here is helping Jim outside.  In the summer Jim doesn't go to work on Thursday so we have more time to work outside.  I am supposed to be a herding dog but there isn't anything to herd around here.  One time when we were at the farm I helped herd the cows back to the pasture when they got out of the fence.  There was more lightning tonight which meant I had to stay close to my humans.
