BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 People, people, if you have a cat or a dog and allowing it to go outside, make sure it's fixed before you do so that we don't have to put down new kittens and puppies. It's tough to have to do that. Amen to that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Retired and Happy (Ken) 101 Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Our Savannah is an indoor dog. We put her out in the fenced backyard from time to time, but she has found a way to get out and come to the front door to be let in. My thinking is that she needs her own key. And she needs to know how to handle those little baggie things when she IS outside....Maybe if we told her our house is in a pet loop... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

smf 9 Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Cool dogs. Is that a Mickey head on Duke's back?You noticed! From one angle he is just shy of a full profile, from another angle just shy of a traditional Mickey...He was meant for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He was wobbling so I woke him up...poor fella.He's a troubled one...In the year since his birth he's overdosed on my Synthroid and has his first taste of charcoal...got his head stuck in a fence at daycare...and got hit by a car and was at the vet every other day for 10 weeks for wound care...lol but we live him! He should have been a cat with 9 lives Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fladogfan aka Gretchen 259 Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Maybe he is a cat in another dimension. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Great photos - thanks for sharing them! We had our annual border collie rescue reunion this past weekend. Bz had a boo-boo toe, and I was busy working the raffle, so I've only got these photos... Lyn and Brady playing in the pond - Lyn frequently forgets to shake and it's Brady's job to just follow her around and stay out of trouble. Lyn would fetch the ball in the pond ALL. DAY. LONG. In fact if we stop throwing it for her and someone else is throwing a ball on the other side of the pond for their dog, she'll promptly abandon us and go steal some other poor dog's ball. Every once in a while Brady wants to catch one too - which can be a trick when you're in a field with 20-30 other border collies, many of whom are younger and faster than he is. But my 12.5 year old boy still has some legs on him! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 I think people would pay admission to watch a field full of 20-30 border collies playing. I know I would. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks! :) I think people would pay admission to watch a field full of 20-30 border collies playing. I know I would. TCD Oh it's a party. And there have been many more than that out at any one time. You either have to find an out of the way spot to sit, or pay attention and keep your knees bent in case you get plowed into. Amazingly there's almost never a scuffle. If there is, it's usually because 15 of them have decided they can only play with ONE ball (even though there are dozens more strewn around). One time there were about 25-ish of them all focused on a ball someone was holding. The guy holding the ball held it up and said "sit" and they all sat. :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Awesome dogs.We have a Border Collie grand dog and he's just the best. This is Piper during a recent visit.As like in Mo's case, he's a rescue. How and why someone gave him is beyond me. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cindymac11 43 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 This is our other dog Lucky - - - also a rescue. I had an internet romance with her 12 years ago on the Humane Society Website. In this picture, she is 16 years old. She is now 17 and 4 months, and really on borrowed time. She has been the best dog, and I can't imagine our home without her. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cindymac11 43 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Lucky is adorable! She would totally steal my heart.You know what's funny? When we went to meet her, my husband wasn't totally sold on getting a dog. When they brought her in, she walked right past me, over to my husband and rolled over on his feet. I kid you not! He was putty in her hands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fladogfan aka Gretchen 259 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Mo, what great photos of the Border Collies just having fun. They are such pretty dogs anyway. Cindy, I love how bright eyed and alert Lucky looks in her 16 year old pic. You know what's funny? When we went to meet her, my husband wasn't totally sold on getting a dog. When they brought her in, she walked right past me, over to my husband and rolled over on his feet. I kid you not! He was putty in her hands. Dumb animals, yeah right, not! They know what they are doing and I've seen some of them, dogs and cats alike, plan what to do. Lucky knew who needed to be won over and it worked, so HA! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
