David,
You are so fortunate to have a border collie. I love them. But I thought
they were more energetic than shelties.
Little did I know. We quit going to the dog park because one of them
walked around aimlessly and the other one guarded us and went berserk when
another dog approached to get her to play. So here one chases the other's
tail. Not so much anymore. They are both old, sick and we will be coming
to the horrible time in dog ownership. At which time I will be a total
basket case for a couple of weeks.
Veronica

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.
