Bad news warning:

Jumpy. I say you he ded.

Especially if you've got a little yapper...

I once had a coyote invade my backyard looking to eat my mama shih tzu. It would have, despite her ferocious defense, had not Junior and Toby also been outside but out of said coyote's immediate view.

Junior was a mixed breed alpha male and Toby is a Weimaraner, just a juvenile at the time but BIG. Those two made short work of Mr. Coyote who jumped back over the wall and hightailed it for the open desert.

Yeah, coyotes don't generally have a lot of staying power.

If you want a friend in politics, get a dog...
 

The Prime Minister has been upstaged by a Border Collie called Blitz on a number of occasions, the latest being yesterday, when attending church in her constituency of Maidenhead.

Years ago a work colleague of Dad's, Mr E, told him that he'd found a Yellow Labrador looking rather lost outside his house.
There was no sign of an owner so he took the dog in and gave it a drink of water.
He phoned the number on the dog's tag and after a bit of prompting someone in a Land Rover eventually turned up and collected the wanderer.
Mr E felt that there was something rather odd about the incident which prompted Dad to ask if the dog's name was on the tag.
'Paddy' came the response.
It all fell into place. Paddy belonged to Prime Minister Harold Wilson, and he had strayed from Chequers (country retreat of the PM), about three miles away.

I hope she wasn't going to church in skinny jeans and leopard sneakers. :haha:

I think she was. That's probably why Blitz averted his gaze. :)

PM. She don't care. She does what she wants.

That is unacceptable. She must do what tw wants. :lol2:

Man, it's heartbreaking to see dogs on pot...

...seeing dog on pots, that's just plain sad.

I can not believe what these collies can do working together.
69 seconds of magic.

The possibility of eating the 'customers' is never far from the mind of the average Border Collie. :)

I was impressed but Benny was meh.

I was riding in Amish country a while back and, in a field, I saw a guy was working border collies.

He had a long stick he carried horizontally behind his back while walking and two border collies were herding six sheep to follow the guy with their noses right on that stick. Guy would quickturn now and then, but the bordies were perfect in getting the sheep to stay w/the stick.
