  Work on a farm is often unpredictable but hours tend to be in the morning with weekends off. This is an ideal situation for people who work remotely as there is a lot of independence, free time and personal space built into the arrangement.

  Pacha (14 ans)

  Looks like a border collie, acts like a sheep. Not a farm dog. Does not bark, defend or chase. She sleeps in my bed with her head on a pillow.
