RE: My border collie trots to Tijuana but then comes right back to safety.

Far Side cartoon showed a bunch of dogs in disarray in a living room. One dog was saying “This party is totally out of control. Oh, thank goodness, here comes a border collie.”

My girl knew phrases plus knowing the sound of either my car keys or my plane keys - knew which vehicle to head to.

It could have been worse. Golden Retrievers are nice dogs.
Imagine a guy with 13 insane Pit Bulls in his house.

Sounds like a few fog dog people I know. They’re kind of dirty like horse people.

My sister bred show quality Irish Setters, sweet dogs, but stoopid... she had 12 or so, a few champions, good puppies, big kennel and fields to romp. She took really good care of her stock.

I went to visit, worked there for a couple weeks doing my electrical thing. Flew home went in my garage stripped naked went inside showered mightily. Went back into the garage layed all my packed clothes out, bombed the garage then hotbwashed everything the next day.

I had to be sure. Different strokes for different folks...

Male version of a cat lady, but they'll eat you faster if you die in the house.

So what! In an age where "look at me" is the raison d'etre for someone's existence, my response is get a life and leave the rest of us alone. Why should anyone give a damn what you do, have or say? Granted, our posts here on FR are infected with that thinking....

I had a three car garage and only my garage would alert "Dixie" (my border collie) to my arrival and she'd bounce to the door very excitedly in anticipation of my arrival.

Once my wife drove my car and took it into that particular garage. Dixie was not happy. My wife was even unhappier. Not a good day. Both my wife and my dog gave me the cold shoulder.

With eating 400 lbs of dog food a month, I can see another problem. If your lucky, it will be in the lawn.

Best dog trick ever.

They eat 400 pounds of food a month and poop 750 pounds.

For a time I lived downwind of one of the largest stockyards in the country.

Cattle, not kitties.

10,000 half-wild short-hairs couldn’t come close to that smell on a hot, breezy day.
