His whistles call instructions -to outrun, to cast, to gather, to drive,to go, to come, to stop, to turnthe flock along the wall,through the gate,into the pen.This bond betwixt man and dog,built on activity and respectas aged as these Wensleydale hillsspeaks to a life fast disappearing,overtaken by time’s rampage,retained in trials and competitions.Old-timers clinging to heritageawaiting death of man or dog.© Sheila Ashashramblings
