Pepper
Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire
Border Collie, three years old. Works sheep. Give her a job or she will assign herself one. 

:NOTE
Sitter handoff page. If you are watching Pepper, everything you need is below. She is a working dog with a working brain, so a tired Pepper is a well behaved Pepper. Walk first, then breakfast.
