Caterina Dellabona was walking by someones home one day when she noticed an unusual sign hanging on their gate. The sign, written in Italian, read, Please dont throw the toy on the cacti (the dog will hurt itself). Throw either left or right thanks.
She was very confused at first ...

Border Collies are smart, very active, and need a job to occupy their minds.
This bunch is great! Thanks for posting.

I would feel bad if I just left them hanging.

(16,254 posts)3. My former neighbor had two border collies - great dogs.
Each time I was out in the yard, they would race to the chainlink fence to drop a stick over the fence or push one through the link for me to throw. It would go on forever if I let it. They are the most affectionate and intelligent dogs.

I miss my very clever, very beautiful Patty Girl so much. Oh, the many hours of tennis ball and frisbee throws and returns. These pups do more retrieving than my Lab "Retrievers."
Thank you for posting these.
