Alfie’s new best friend

If you have followed ‘Mist Sheepdog tales’ on Channel Five, you might well have spotted that Fern is far and away the grumpiest sheepdog on Borough Farm. She does what she pleases when she pleases and now that she’s almost eleven years old, she has decided that she wants to retire to the kitchen. However, Alfie has been living in the kitchen for the past month or so, and we’ve been a bit worried about the grumpiest dog on the farm joining him…… but perhaps we’ve been worrying unnecessarily.

Fern seems to have decided  that she will take on the role of ‘Great Aunt’ and spends her time playing with the young pup, allowing him to pull her tail and bite her ears!

So we’re not quite sure at the moment if Fern has really turned over a new leaf, or whether she has just decided that the only way to achieve her ambition of retirement in the kitchen, is to pretend to be a great babysitter!
