And relentless as you would expect.

Mutual prodding of each other to get through the day via a series of tasks.

I thought my last border collie would be my last…but when he left the planet, I couldn’t fathom not having the crazy border collie energy in my life, so here I am.

What you really needed! And look what a happy little girl you have to spend your days with. She looks so sweet and playful. The few that I have known personally were the coolest dogs.

I aspire to be at their level but I am a human and therefore it can not ever happen. Humans are way below dogs (my opinion of course) in just about every category and having undying patience is one of them.

I’ve always had border collies and sometimes they’re anything but patient. This one tries so hard…she’s only a year old.

You can see them trying hard, too. I know my dog would sit so still and she was almost shaking. Their body language (and their eyes and ear language) speaks volumes. I would always give in to my dogs when I knew how hard they were trying to be good and please me. How can you not give in to their efforts and still have a heart?

Just came in from the dark and cold. It’s worth it and Maybee is tired. For a minute.

Those eyes melt my heart. I love border collies. They are so smart and fun.

or has she figured out the spellings already? As you know, she likely will.

BC's are so damn smart - just look at her, watching every move, every word. And everything is "yes, what are we waiting for".

We spell “play”, “dinner”, “frisbee”, “puzzle”, leash” and I don’t spell “harness” any more. I just say “we’ve got to go to work, please get your harness” and she does.

It’s always me.

She's beautiful.

Booger is gorgeous! How handsome. You must tell me how you came upon his name?


Edited to add a pic of your beautiful border collie:

I've always had border collies and poodles. When they all got old and died I decided that I wanted a Great pyranese. The one I wanted to adopt from a rescue was named Booger. But the foster lady wouldn't approve me. She thought I was too big a snow flake for that boy. We ended up adopting a 1/2 pyr, 1/4 each border collie and husky. But my granddaughter chose Opie for him. Which is perfect. When Booger came along, I knew his name had to be Booger. He really is a booger too. Thanks for the chats!

Love that name too.
