Jessie my ‘wingman’

The White Swiss Shepherds are working dogs. This has some implications, one of them that they are always finding themselves a task to do. That can be always guarding, keeping the pack together, reassure the others, etc. Jessie has given herself the task to help me wherever she can. To be my ‘wingman’. This first dawned on me when she was always correction the others whenever they didn’t do what I wanted. Jessie herself listens very very well and so I guess she decided that the others should do that also. Sometimes I let her have this roll, but not when she also physically corrects them.
And yesterday evening, she came to sit in front of me and stare at me. It means she want something and I’ll ask her ‘do you need to go outside? No? Do you need some attention?’ Etcetera. But yesterday she didn’t react to any of my regular questions so I let it go. But then I heard it. Mijne was crying and barking. With us staying in the B&B because of the girls heat and the boys still in Little Sunnyside it’s harder to hear them. And so when Martijn checked it out, Mijne was vomiting and needed to do his business.

Once again Jessie had played my wingman by trying to get my attention an go to attent Mijne. I love this wonderful soul so much❤️❤️❤️ I only wished I would listen better.
