[lit-ideas] Re: English Pubic Schools

I have a sheltie.  I had completely sworn off dogs after the last two  evil 
ones that came my way (the doby/hound mix we rescued from someone who used  him 
for hunting and beat him; he turned out to be profoundly aggressive, biting  
everyone) and my step-daughter's pit/lab mix (we called her destructo-dog -- I 
 lost more pairs of shoes to that animal....), but my folks' Sheltie died 
after  15 years and they missed him so much they bought Lucy (well, they bought 
two  shelties -- male & female, Desi & Lucy).  Desi ran into the road  and got 
hit.  Lucy drove them nuts because she's, well, wired .....not the  sedate 
thing their previous sheltie was.  I fell in love with her.....sweet  
personality, mischievous, incredibly curious, beautiful markings...very  loyal. 
 Trots 
around after me from room to room and cuddles with me if I'm  not feeling well. 
 
But if any other person walks into the house she turns  into instant 
tazmanian devil -- I swear she's part rabbit or cat or mountain  goat -- she 
has 
springs in all four legs and leaps from one piece of furniture  to the next.  
She's 
not yet a year old, so I trust this adolescent  behaviour will eventually 
leave <g>.  When I was a kid we had Collies  -- when we were very little we 
used 
to ride on their backs like horses.   Shelties are a compromise....
