6. I feel like some 1977 Pink Floyd should be playing as background

You got to be crazy ...

You better watch out ... there may be dogs about!

7. I guess male sheep are called RAMS for a reason.

[wnylib]

15. Maybe the other way around?

Our use of the word ram coming from the behavior of rams? Don't know, never looked it up.

11. Border collies are amazing.

Herding dogs are amazing, in general. I'll never own one, because I don't have space or the energy to meet such a dog's needs, but I really admire them.

I'll never the time my daughter and I were in Petsmart and there was a rough collie* at the doggy day care that kept trying to herd the other dogs (who were completely ignoring their efforts). It was pretty funny That herding instinct is really strong in some of those dogs.

*Rough collie is the name for a "Lassie" type collie, which is a different breed from the border collie, in case anyone doesn't know.

14. We used to have a white shephard that would try to herd us as we hiked....

He would run ahead, check to make sure it was clear, and then race back and get behind us to move us along, then repeat.

We are convinced that is what he was doing, even if he wasn't.

[Hamlette]

12. treats? Whose side are you on?

We have a Border Collie but no sheep. So she plays with/stalks us like we are her sheep. This scene plays out in our house everyday.

I dearly lover her but . . .
