Sheep!!!!

One of our other stops during our drive to Galway was to a sheepherder's farm where we got to see a demonstration of sheep herding and sheep dogs. It was pretty cool.

Here a re some pictures of the sheep dogs and the sheep! So cute!



It was pretty cool to see how it all worked and how the dog just knew what to do. We learned how they are trained first by voice command and then by different whistle patterns in order to know what the farmer wanted. 

After that we got to walk around his farm for about half an hour and it was nice and peaceful. We were all just really happy that after seeing sheep everyday we finally got to see them up close and pet them. :)

That was the last stop we made before arriving in Galway.
