Border Collie

 

Welcome  

Doggy Dictionary  (submitted by Mr. Bob)

Bicycles   Two-wheeled exercise machines invented for dogs to control body fat. To get maximum aerobic benefit, you must hide behind a bush and dash out, barking loudly and running alongside for a few yards. The person then swerves and falls into the bushes, and you prance away.
 
Bump   The best way to get your human's attention when they are drinking a fresh cup of coffee or tea
 
Deafness   This is a malady which affects dogs when their person wants them in and the dog wants to stay out. Symptoms include staring blankly at the person and then running in the opposite direction or lying down.
 
Dog Bed   Any soft, clean surface, such as the white bedspread in the guest room or the newly upholstered couch in the living room
 
Drool   This is what you do when your person has food and you don't. To do this properly you must sit as close as you can, look sad and let the drool fall to the floor, or better yet, on their lap.
 
Garbage Can   A container which your neighbors put out once a week to test your ingenuity. You must stand on your hind legs and try to push the lid off with your nose. If you do it right you are rewarded with margarine wrappers to shred, beef bones to consume and moldy crusts of bread.
 
Lean   Every good dog's response to the command "Sit!", especially if your person is dressed for an evening out. Incredibly effective before black-tie events.
 
Leash   A strap which attaches to your collar, enabling you to lead your person where you want him/her to go.
 
Love   This is a feeling of intense affection given freely and without restriction. The best way you can show your love is to wag your tail. If you're lucky your human will love you in return.
 
Sofas   Sofas are to dogs as napkins are to people. After eating it is polite to run up and down the front of the sofa to wipe your whiskers clean.
 
Thunder   This is a signal that the world is coming to an end. Humans remain amazingly calm during thunderstorms, so it is necessary to warn them of the danger by trembling uncontrollably, panting, rolling your eyes wildly and following them at their heels.
 
Wastebasket   This is a dog toy filled with paper, envelopes and old candy wrappers. When you get bored, turn over the basket and strew the papers all over the house for when your person comes home.
