Good afternoon everybody!
It's Sunday!! WooHoo!!

Regretfully, my friend with the border collie moved away. If it had been up to me, she should have stayed and the dog should have gone.

That dog was so nuts to herd things he was repeatedly struck by cars and wearing casts. It was too frightening for me. I saw it get hit once and that was enough for me. That damn thing manufactured its own amphetamines!

MoJo and crew are getting ready for some football. WooHoo!!

Don't go yet! Wait!!! What position do you play???

My Moms border collie, Cody, was a wildman! the only thing that wears Borders out is death.

Cody ran agility trials and had a full obstacle course in the back yard which he was constsantly worked on, but it never tuckered him out.

The only way to calm him down was to crate him L0L

He died of natural causes.

Mom has an australian sheperd now, Rowdy, a much better dog for her I think

Hey, Vicki! ! have a short story.

When that song came out in '65, I was 13 or so. I was
learning the guitar and it was a simple enough tune to
master and I was hooked by the musics ebb and flow.
I still do the duet with a vinyl booted gal from St, Matthews, SC.

Vinyl booted and saint in the same sentence...

Sheesh!

Read more about Lee Hazelwood

His breakthrough came in 1965 when he teamed up with Nancy Sinatra, in what would become one of the most influential pop ventures. These Boots Are Made For Walking (1966) was one of the era's biggest hits, but it was also a nasty song about a dirty young girl. And the following songs by the duo reinforced the message, offering themselves as a not-so-angelic version of Sonny and Cher. Needless to say, eventually this led to problems with the music industry and by the end of 1968 Hazlewood was abandoned by a lot of influential people.

Thanks for the request!

FReepers are the best!

Did you find a way to grind your coffee beans other than the hammer??? :)

[Lady Jag]

Thanks for that story. I am so devoted to animals my reaction this this dog was unnerving and I did not want to be there to see the poor hyperactive thing killed. I'd known and had many different breeds and mongrels but that dude was worse than my bud, Yaz.

You have described my dog, June, to a tee.

We are on a slow country road and she has 63 acres to run off the juice. The male stays near the shed and boat and tractor. He's more of a watcher. Fleet of leg and nip.

[uncleshag]

Howdy, MoJo!

Is there a ball game on today?

[Lady Jag]

That's probably what they should have done for this dog, put one of those obstacle courses in the backyard. It might've kept him busy enough.

Border Collies arent for the timid!

They have been known to leave paw prints on the ceiling! L0L

[mylife]

They are good bright dogs but need to be worked constantly

[Lady Jag]

Three people owned the border collie I describe and they couldn't keep him on a tether. It wasn't a busy road but an old and curvy one. I think it was mostly old farts that hit the dog whose name I can't remember probably for mental healing purposes.

[Lady Jag]

It wasn't so much the hyperness of the dog, but the fact that it didn't discriminate between safe and dangerous and got hurt a lot.

Like you say, apparently, you have to keep them busy.

[mylife]

L0L That picture sums up their personality rather well!

[Lady Jag]

They have been known to leave paw prints on the ceiling! L0L

Haven't we all! LOL!

[uncleshag]

I wanna party with you sometimes!
