This is bandit. He's the neighbors' fourth dog! He's a five-month-old Australian Sheepdog. He's very friendly, and will supposedly spend most of his life on a ranch in Oklahoma. I haven't seen him for a while now, so this is probably true. Freya loves to bark and go fence-running with him. She misses him a bit, and still looks for him every time she goes outside.

I spoke too soon. Bandit is back! Now Freya can run the fence and bark happily. Until I bring her in to quiet her down, that is. And Bandit has a pretty loud bark for his size, too!
