That’s what Wyatt gets for acting so sheepish.

And that’s why I would never get a collie. I HATE being herded.

Really, Wyatt, you have to take control of the situation. You’re bigger than him, and you feed him. Look him in the eye and let him know who’s in charge.

What’s that? Oh, you DID all that? And he what? He let YOU know who’s in charge? Is he related to Cleo?

Clearly, Wyatt, you’ve been a Baaaa-d owner!

Wyatt, just go where he sez and you won’t get bit.

Not having been a sheep, how do you read a border collie?

This border ain’t big enough for thr both of us.

If you get a working breed, yer gonna get worked over.

Wyatt, it’s not about you; it’s all about that hoe, and the fact you have been digging near his bone stash.

The dog doesn’t like grass holes.

Wyatt Urp there is gonna have a Rawhide… ☺

That’s why I got a Lab. He is a great tv companion.

Border collies get bored real easy. Throw a ball once in a while Wyatt.

A herd mentality being so common, this might replace baseball as the national pastime.

On the other hand.. it keeps Wyatt in great shape.

A border collie is great for herding the children!

The same is true with shepherds. They shepherd.

My Sheltie is terrible at herding.

Baa ram ewe.

Wyatt is headed for the border, but he won’t be stopping in at Taco Bell.

Wyatt has a hoe. Use it to keep your collie in check.
