Loving the herd life
Ha! Ours doesn't "turn on" unless she's near the water. At home she's so anti-getting-riled-up that if ANY of the other animals start getting rowdy she body checks them. This includes the other dogs and the cats. She was never around livestock until she was an adult, so you can imagine our surprise the first time she mistook chicken love for fighting and she barreled straight into the pair of them to break it up! 
A dog trainer friend of mine called it "playground monitor syndrome." 
She's around 9. She came from Newf Rescue, so I don't know her exact age. Her knee has been shot for a couple years and she's had arthritis in her lower spine since she was 4, but she never acted "senior" until the last couple months. Then it sorta hit all at once and she's really slowed down.
