Ben is our fourth Old English Sheepdog. Like the others, Ben is an endearingly impish, sweet clown of a dog. Especially when he was younger, he loved nothing more than an energetic romp in the backyard, especially if it involved fetching a ball or chasing a squirrel. Even now, he can do a respectable galumph about, even in the snow, which he loves to play in, as well as to eat. One of Ben's self-taught outdoor tricks is to take a swipe at a snowbank while not breaking stride!
Inside, he has made up a game that we call "rug-surfing." From the second floor of our house, he flies down the stairs as fast as he can and comes to a dead halt on the rug in the middle of the floor, making it slide. He looks at us with a big grin on his face: "look what I can do!"
We really love our Ben: he's a wonderful companion.
