chained_bear commented on the word mother-up
"A disoriented lamb stands alone, calling plaintively for its mother.
Dick commands Sweep to 'mother-up,' pointing first to the lamb, then to a frantic ewe within the herd. Sweep obeys, rounding up the lost lamb and reuniting it with its mother."
—Merrily Weisbord and Kim Kachanoff, Dogs with Jobs: Working Dogs Around the World (NY and London: Pocket Books, 2000), 85.
