Some young dogs are so demanding. There is never enough playtime to completely satisfy a border collie. This was taken when Joni was 4 months old and we used to tease her that she had a broken ear.
Have a great Friday, friends.
Joni has her own pack to carry, with her food (and the food for the cats, but don't tell her), collapsible food bowl, papers and, on the top, to be added at the last minute in a net, her blue ball. She's a great help in emergencies.
Happy Friday, all. Stay safe.
Years ago we took Joni on a few sheep herding sessions to see how she would take to it. As you see, she enjoyed it. We didn't continue with the lessons, though, deciding to stick with frisbees and balls instead. And now she herds cats, which is much more of a challenge. And she can do it in the house.
This was Joni 2, our first border collie, second Joni. Make sense of that if you will. She was a special dog, kinder than most, less obsessive, more devoted than some and very obedient. And so beautiful, as you see. We lost her in October 2012. She left big shoes to fill.
"As part of a NewsChannel 5 Nashville investigation that aired in November 2021, reporter Jennifer Kraus used a website to purchase a covid-19 vaccine waiver for family dog Charlie, a black Labrador retriever. Kraus was mailed a waiver signed and issued by Robert Coble, a Tennessee doctor who never examined Charlie and who has since surrendered his medical license in a settlement with state health officials."
