Spring is here, and the weather today was glorious ~ 79 degrees in No. Calif! My dog, Max, found a comfortable landing spot to view the birds and the bees in my back yard.

Bench pillows and cushion purchased on eBay!
Thank you! Yep, she's a herder alright. When she was a pup I had to train her *not* to herd me when I'm running! Otherwise her natural instinct is to nip heels and round up whatever she deems suitable for rounding up. 
Last time we had friends over for dinner, she decided to herd a guest to and from the bathroom. 
Maybe you need to get a bunch of cats so she can herd kitties May not be a good idea.
My brother had an Australian Sheep dog...name was Corki. We just loved him and he was such a big help to my brother because he had cattle. He had one marble eye. Those types of dogs can't allowed to get bored.
Our youngest kitty (turned 11 in April).
Lucy, (Goofer). Is a very silly kitty.
She runs, and jumps / bounces on the wall.
A lot of hopeful parents showed up at the shelter to adopt her. They drew our ticket.

Grumpy Kitty's mom was interviewed the other day.
Guess Grumpy, is going to have a wax figure at Madam Tusard's.
That's when you know, you have made it.

Enjoyed the clip, BD!
Jean~ I know full well they act up! Won't wait until your gone...your back turned is enough. Cat steals dog bed. Dog sneaks to cat stash of toys and begins to chew them up.....cat hides behind recliner.......attacks dog when goes by.......
We always had Boston Terriers before we chose this Beagle from animal rescue. Our first Boston was pretty smart and easy to train. Had 2 cats at the time, one of which was an ordinary tabby. They would play this hideous game that we called 'the over-under game'. Russ, the boston would stay low under the coffee table while the tabby would swat Russ below. He would do this funny biting motion and Dolly the tabby would continue to swat. Anyway, we kept the cat food and litterbox in a back room at the end of the hall. Russ would always sneak back there and help himself to chow and litter box contributions. In a short time, we were able to train Russ not to go down the hall. Imaginary line right at the kitchen. Had a rug-runner in the hall; part of it on either side of the line. Dolly would sit on the rug on 'her' side of the line and Russ would lie on his belly on his side of the line. They both would just stare at each other. No-one was crossing the line. Then one day, Russ got a bite-hold of that rug and started to pull it over the line with Dolly on it!! At first she didn't know what was happening except that she was moving. Russ got her over the line, a chase to the coffee table(Russ would bank off the couch first)to begin the over-under game. You had to be there to witness it otherwise too unbelievable
soooo, my previous pics showed the lava rock in my back yard which makes it difficult if not impossible for me to plant flowers....and I love color....so I decided to do some container gardening last week and I had someone to keep me company while I worked!
Abby is now back home with her mom and I miss her like crazy...so nice to have someone around, but LDO will be here this coming weekend to pick up the slack but he can't catch a treat in his mouth like Abby....ah well, we all have our strengths and weaknesses!
