Lester is a beautiful specimen of a border collie, and he is quite large. and yes, he is wicked smart, as is his "dad." He is actually my SO's dog. (although, we aren't really together anymore, but we still see each other. I'm not sure what we are. He got Ralph and Lester, I got Shakti and Rufus.) There are several feral cats where he is moving now, and they are very friendly, so I'm thinking I might pick up one or two of them as well. I can already see he is going to have more cats.
