I played fetch with a beautiful dog one day, and got to enjoy it's company while waiting for my husband to finish an errand. I had wanted to take a little catnap in the care and enjoy the cool breeze of the day. I heard a noise and saw this beauty jumping up to peek at me. I couldn't resist, so got out to pet the cute dog. The dog quickly ran to get a stick. That was amusing, as there were only some large branches around. The dog must have done this before, because in a minute had broken a branch down to three ususal sticks. Next he inspected the three, finally choosing one to bring me. I threw the stick for a while, and then he found a ball as he ran about. I got my camera out as he lay down to take a rest. I love these intellegent border collies. One blue eye, one brown eye, both full of fun. This one runs amuck at my brother in-laws business grounds, and has the run inside and out. I look forward to doing some more paintings of him. I laughed when my husband came out from his meeting and asked if I'd been bored waiting. LOL! I had had a blast playing with the dog, nothing boring about that. This is a well loved, well cared for, friendly, smart, happy dog. Thanks for sharing a fun adventure with me. I'll have to get him some new toys next time I see him.
