My Border Collie, Mick, is secretly a ninja
I look in the dining room earlier and he's standing on the window still (about 3' off the ground and 4" wide) trying to catch a fly on the ceiling. It did this without making a sound.

Thank God he didn't pop out the screen.

I'd totally have to rescue him first. Imagine the good he could do with his mad ninja skills.

3. If you've ever seen the "ninja" episode of Fight Quest, you'd understand why I'm a hater

Here he is using his ninja skills to be cat (cat was displeased at being displaced):



He also lays on the back of the couch looking at the picture window to growl at cars. It looks quite ridiculous from outside. 40+lb dog laying on the back of a couch like a cat. Fucking absurd.

5. He's too cute!
My 40 lb. German Shepherd/Cattle Dog mix can somehow pop up onto my bed and get inches from my face without me noticing. She can do that, but hasn't quite learned to sneak up on the bunnies.

6. This is my favorite picture of him, because he looks so deranged...

And here he is with some of his bitches at the dog park:



Plus, the classic intense Border Collie eye...



My mom has a bunch of bunnies. They completely ignore the dogs.

7. The deranged look! Yes!
I know it well. Devin killed every one of her Loofa Dogs.

This would be the enigma known as Devin:



What generally happens to toys if she's left to her own devices:



Waiting for me to kick her de-stuffed Duckie:

9. She loves it, even without stuffing and a honker.
She also loves her squeaker mat that once had 16 working squeakers. Although, if I give her a choice, she'll pick out her toys that still squeak, which right now totals at a whopping: 1

12. my aussie girl HATES squeakies, she surgically removes them from
all her toys

I kid you not, there will be a tiny 1" incision along a seam and the squeaker is out, then she's happy

:eyes:

17. Yeah, just a bit.
Although, I don't mind lending her out when she's in her crazy mood and decides to open a window, punch out a screen, and tear around the neighborhood chasing rabbits.

16. They're fucking genius dogs
They'd be way easier to deal with if they were a little dumber.
