Joy Breaks Through: Year One Of Ben The Sprollie

In the darkest times, light breaks through in the most unexpected ways. Some weeks ago, OS tripped across a wonderful blog from Greenhill Farm, in Northern Ireland, which chronicles life on the farm and the joys of owning a small pack of working border collies.

Ben is a Sprollie, a cross between a springer spaniel and border collie. OS mis-identified him initially as a border collie. In any case, he's a fabulous dog.

It is a joyful relief to check in on this gang.

Today is Ben's first birthday, and here is the account of his first year from six weeks through today.

Enjoy.

Happy birthday, Ben. You're a credit to your breed.
