So you think you've got dog problems. Many dogs are hard-wired to do certain things and herding dogs will herd things even if they're not supposed to herd things.
Consider this.
My wife told me a story about a friend of hers whose dog jumped the fence one weekend and went on a walkabout. Hours later the dog returned herding a horse. Since herding dogs are supposed to herd things this isn't remarkable except that the horse's rider was not amused.
Personally, I think this is funny as hell. I am fascinated that this dog herded horse and rider home, what commitment. Good dog. Luckily the rider was the forgiving sort. Seriously though, it makes sense that the rider was pissed but c'mon, this is one of those stories you tell your grandchildren or Oprah.
They look so innocent when they're asleep
So I've made an eye appointment and will probably get new glasses. This decision was made after my lovely wife told me last week that my favorite color is corduroy.
See, I can take a hint.

Your wife is quite witty. I think I will use that line.
Nice dog story.
Hope you are having a great weekend.

If this is true then Phideaux III is an Irritator. He just naturally irritates. He doesn't mean to, he just does.

Great story...since I'm a dog freak...Happy Weekend!!
my parents had a new dog that gathered every shoe in the house and every stuffed animal and left them all in a pile at the foot of the stairs. My dad's response? "She's a retreiver. She's been retrieving."
My dog is just plain retarded. Lovable, but retarded. Hmmmm, kinda like most men, huh?
I am fascinated by the behavior of such animals. I want to be able to read their furry little minds.
