I just wish I could get my two Border Collies to spend time wearing themselves out just like other dogs. Since they are the smartest dog breed, however, they are just content to expel energy by arguing over who gets to use the laptop!

Where does she go?

Where does she go?

When Lil' FFF was about 10 I started telling her stories about Sweetie's personal life. She lives at the beach, is a famous writer, single, loved by all and cruises up and down 30-A in her little white convertible. We have added to it over the years. We decided after we go to sleep at night is when she goes out and that is why she sleeps all day.....she has been partying all night! :drink2:

Cute! What I want to know is who has this in their backyard, and how can I become friends with them?

Chloe Marie sneaks in the Hot Tub and then stretches out on the back sectional with a Mit Schlag; she just has not learned to do the dishes yet :lol:

Border Collies are the smartest coolest dogs ever. They're my favorite breed... they just LOVE to WORK, but unless you have livestock for them to herd, you really have to be "ON IT" to keep them challenged. They'd make great assistants in a day-care or alzheimer patient facility... 'cause they don't really care who or what they herd!

Yes.. but if they both are on the beach and a bunch of 4 year olds are running around screaming at the top of their lungs, my 2 Border Collies will want to herd and organize THEM. Just try telling the parents of these kids that my dogs just want to "herd" them...They then respond, What,? they want to "hurt" them!!!!

Oh I can just SEE it!!

Friends of mine have a border collie that herds kids at the park ... as well as other dogs, ducks, the cats (Arthur-Marie and Kiki Barber), his toys, whatever! Their dog has an extensive vocabulary and understands fluent "anglais"... I'll bet your dogs do too!

Loved this. My border collie Lucy would herd anything too. She worried herself silly over the kids running and jumping on the trampoline. She would herd her toys once the kids grew up. Wonderful dog, we still all miss her terribly.

My border collie mix herds minnows and crabs. He loves the lake out flow at Grayton.

After McKenzie, my black lab/rhodesian ridgeback mix was denied the comfort of lounging on the couch watching Animal Planet (we put mouse traps on the couch and chairs), she had to find alternate means of entertainment. This being taunting the rhodesian she lives with and making him do things for her.

I like to think of it like they're dating. :wub:

Oh and she likes to cause drama between the cats.

LOVE this video, Biff! :clap:

Never realized there are so many border collie's on this board!

We finally stopped making our beds anymore. Rudy would un-make each bed everyday. Blankets, comforters would be stripped down; pillows just tossed off to the floor! :lol:

I've heard of the mouse trap thing.

I want to use them to keep Rudy from running up to the front window when the mail man walks by & scare the bejeebers out of him. Rudy goes absolutely insane & his claws destroyed the previous window sill. We just had new windows installed in the whole house last week & so far I've been able to divert his attention when the mail man approaches but I can't keep doing this.

Mr. JR says the mouse traps might hurt him badly. BUT he was infuriated with the window sill destruction from before that I'm willing to give it a try.

LabLady's farmer father rigged her couch with hot wire (covered with metal tape). Scout does not like the couch anymore. You can imagine the sight of this rigged couch was hysterical!!! :yikes:
