Intense Border Collies

For those of you who know our dogs, you know they can be very intense at times, almost to the point of downright crazy. Well, it's been very, very cold lately and sometimes I pity them and let them in the house (just the kitchen area) to warm up. It didn't take them long to notice the baby chicks and their instinct kicked right in. They were trying to herd them in their little box!


Imagine the view from the chicks' point-of-view. Belle was a little discouraged that she couldn't go the whole way around the box, but she was intent on staring them down. Crazy dogs.
It's supposed to get a little warmer, so the chicks are headed to the chicken house. They are trying to escape their box and starting to stink a bit. For cute little things, they certainly poo a lot!

I do miss Border Collies! They are intense, but so incredibly loyal and dedicated.
But I am glad I never got herded by a border collie. It must be a rather scary feeling to have those eyes staring into you!!

Jazz looks so much like Dixie. Nobody likes to be herded by a bc, just ask my boys. And naughty! Hannah made a sandwich for her lunch tomorrow and when she turned her back it mysteriously disappeared. Hmmm, why is Dixie licking her chops and smiling?
