A trainer recommended a small sheep farm in New Jersey, Wayside Farm, that trains Border collies \u2014 and, once he herded with Cosmo for the first time, he was hooked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Slotwiner shares a three-bedroom house in Pelham, the oldest town in Westchester County, with his wife, Cosmo, Luna and a 15-year-old American Eskimo rescue, George. (He has two adult sons, Harry, 28, and Peter, 25.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">SLEEPING IN, KIND OF <\/strong>During the week, I get up around 5 a.m., but on Sundays, I\u2019ll sleep until 6:30 a.m. I\u2019m not a morning person, but I\u2019ve been forced to be a morning person. I\u2019ll start the day by reading The New York Times on my iPhone in bed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">RISE AND RIDE<\/strong> I go to a 7:30 a.m. SoulCycle class in Bronxville. It\u2019s always timed to the rhythm of the music, which makes it different from other spin classes. Before the pandemic, I was often taking six classes a week, which was not healthy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">MORNING MEET-UP<\/strong> Around 9 a.m., I meet my wife for breakfast at <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/caffeammi.com\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Caffe\u0300 Ammi<\/a> in Pelham. She\u2019ll have the dogs in her car, because my car isn\u2019t quite big enough to take them out to the farm in. I\u2019ll get a large whole milk latte with one sugar and a warmed-up cranberry scone and \u2014 if I\u2019m feeling decadent \u2014 an almond croissant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">OUT TO THE FARM <\/strong>I drive about an hour and 15 minutes to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/HACKETTSTOWNNJ\/about\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Wayside Farm<\/a>.

There are other herding breeds, but Border collies tend to be the most common and tend to be the best for sheep.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">BABY STEPS <\/strong>The first thing you teach them is to go clockwise, which is called \u201ccome by,\u201d or counterclockwise, \u201caway.\u201d And then you teach them to drive the sheep to you in a straight line, in a controlled way, so they don\u2019t push the sheep so quickly that they scatter. And then you teach them to push the sheep beyond you, which is one of the hardest things to get them to do, because Border collies want order \u2014 they don\u2019t want the sheep to escape.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The ultimate challenge is to teach the dog how to separate the sheep into two groups, because the sheep instinctually want to stay together as a herd.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">TOOLS OF THE TRADE<\/strong> Once you\u2019re a certain distance away, you have to give commands using a whistle. In competitions, sometimes you do this over 800 or 900 yards, where you can\u2019t even see the sheep. But the dogs learn to trust you so much that they know that if you give them the command to go clockwise, even if they don\u2019t see the sheep, they will go clockwise to the edge of the field and keep running and running and running until they find those sheep, and then they will bring them to you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">NEWBIE NOSTALGIA <\/strong>It\u2019s great to be a novice at my age, because I\u2019m teaching medical students and residents every day. I\u2019m teaching attending cardiologists how to do invasive procedures. It\u2019s refreshing to be a beginner at something, to remember how it is to learn as I\u2019m teaching people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">GETTING IN THE ZONE<\/strong> I\u2019ll pack up around 12:30 p.m. or 1 p.m., then hop into the car and finish my medical podcast on the way back to Pelham. It helps me get in the mind-set for work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">DUMPLING DETOUR<\/strong> If I\u2019m on call at the hospital, which I am every fourth weekend, I\u2019ll head to downtown Flushing to grab a bite to eat before my shift. I love the soup dumplings at <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/juqiusa.com\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Juqi<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">DR. BOW-TIE WILL SEE YOU NOW<\/strong> I arrive around 2 p.m. and change into scrubs. I\u2019ll usually have four or five patients to check up on, and then I\u2019ll take care of some paperwork or review a manuscript or two.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-10\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">I\u2019m typically rocking a bow tie. Fifteen years ago, a patient gave me one, and I decided I\u2019d give it a try. It took me a while to figure out how to tie them \u2014 it was a lot of YouTube videos \u2014 but then I would wear it occasionally, and my patients really liked it. So then I went all in on bow ties. I have more than 50.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">DINNER DATE<\/strong> Around 5 or 6 p.m., I\u2019ll head back to Pelham to pick up my wife, and we\u2019ll meet our son Harry and our daughter-in-law for dinner in Williamsburg. One of our go-to places is <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ringolevio.nyc\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Ringolevio<\/a>. If I\u2019m splurging, I\u2019ll have a skirt steak and a glass of red wine. Or I might meet my parents, who live in Battery Park, at a Greek restaurant down the block from them, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/anassataverna.com\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Anassa Taverna<\/a>. I love the grilled branzino, with white wine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">FUN WITH FRISBEES <\/strong>You can\u2019t just come home to Border collies and say, \u201cOK, it\u2019s time to go to bed.\u201d They\u2019ve been herding for an hour and a half to two hours, and they\u2019re working hard. So I\u2019ll come home and play Frisbee with Cosmo and Luna for around half an hour. Cosmo is very toy motivated. Luna mostly wants affection and interaction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-11\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">KINDLE TIME <\/strong>I\u2019ll climb into bed around 11:30 p.m. and read for half an hour on my Kindle. Right now I\u2019m reading a Tana French novel, \u201c<a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2010\/07\/12\/books\/12book.html\" title=\"\">Faithful Place<\/a>,\u201d which I\u2019m enjoying. It\u2019s a book to clear my brain. I\u2019ve also finished another book that I really love, Barbara Kingsolver\u2019s \u201c<a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/10\/16\/books\/review\/barbara-kingsolver-demon-copperhead.html\" title=\"\">Demon Copperhead<\/a>.\u201d I love the feature where you can switch between reading on the Kindle and listening to it, because that way, when I commute, whether it\u2019s to work or to the farm, I can continue it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">OUT LIKE A LIGHT<\/strong> I usually fall asleep close to midnight. I\u2019m a night owl. But I don\u2019t go to SoulCycle on Monday morning, since I\u2019ve had the whole weekend to exercise, so I don\u2019t have to get up until 6.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\"
