The Oncoming Storm

RFC2324 posted:

When I was a kid we had an austrailian shepard. You only had to tell her once, and she was trained. Move to a new house? Walk the border of the property once with her and she wpuld not cross that line without one of my parents. When people talk about how smart their dogs are, i expect that level, she ruined me.

I've had two border collies. Our first was dumped as a puppy and followed my brother home. He had literally zero taught skills whatsoever due to being, y'know, a dumped puppy. A friend of mine visited a few days later and taught him to lie down within five minutes, and he kept the skill his entire life. He was incredibly easy to teach tricks to.

My second was an old girl who I didn't have very long (less than a year) because I adopted her as a senior but she still figured things out pretty easily. Not as well as the first one, but still. Such easily trained doggos.

I double checked for the ball and there is indeed a second ball. I just don't know how. :psyduck: Do some dogs just have another dimension in their mouth?

I also wish to know what holds their attention so intensely.

Me crush ass to dust

I saw a chow chow in person for the first time today. I was so shocked at the fluff that I forgot to take a picture. It looked something like this but way fluffier in the face area.

When I was (much) younger, we had a dog who was part lab, part border collie, and part unknown mutt. She was not smart. She tried, she really did. She wanted to do what you asked and was one of the friendliest dogs I've ever met, but she sure wasn't the brightest.

I miss her sometimes. :(

With rope toys my pup understands bringing it to me so I can tug or throw it.

With tennis balls he stops a foot or more away from me and drops it. "Let's play fetch some more!"

Speaking of Assassins, we had two dogs (pictures to come) at work today because the owner's house had exterminators. It was a border collie named Ezio and a chihuahua named Katara.

I've seen some edits that go into social commentary a bit uncomfortably.
