At the dog park there are a pair of shelties. One always runs after the ball;
the other always rushes after, barking instructions. "A little to the right.
Watch out for slippery bits; you never know when you're going to run into one
at this time of year. Mind the bicyclist." I compare them to the fellow in
"Keeping Up Appearances," who drives with Mrs. Bucket's incessant instruction.
David Ritchie,
whose border collie, a relative of the sheltie, seldom barks in
Portland, Oregon
