I have a rescued Border Collie who is not quite 2 years old. She
lived in a crate in an apartment for most of her first 7 months.
Brought her to our farm and she did a remarkable job of harassing all
the wild chickens or killing them (sorry) but that is what we wanted.
She worked very hard. (The chickens were trying to get into the house
through the cat door- aargh!) The huge wild pigs at night stymie her,
but she is always on alert. She thinks she should chase the birds
from the hanging bird feeder about 10 times each morning- the birds
are getting smarter, but no harm done. She studied a helicopter
yesterday, staring up into the sky and I wonder what she thought. She
is a wonderful dog except when she brings avocados in through that
same cat door, to eat on the living room rug. She also is a loving
"nanny" to our newest 4 month old mongrel.
