She too was a Border Collie-Aussie mix. Sometimes it seemed she was the smarter one in our partnership.<br /><br />I had to walk the Cat down to the river to get that stone. I should have carved her name in it......<br /><br />A Friend in NevadaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-27343336417460080422012-08-13T18:56:58.453-05:002012-08-13T18:56:58.453-05:00Thanks for sharing the story of your border collie...Thanks for sharing the story of your border collie friend, Alex.

Once I pointed to a cow and said "go get her" and he started nipping at her heels to bring her to me (no training at all). Unfortunately when kids would pass by close to him he would also nip at their heels. When I caught fish he would wade in the water, pick up the fish, and deliver it to me. Sigh. He's dead now. Buried out there near the apple trees.AlexSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-51188399817919150622012-08-12T21:18:42.520-05:002012-08-12T21:18:42.520-05:00Hank didn't get his name from the "Hank t...Hank didn't get his name from the "Hank the Cowdog" books, but I think my sister came across one of them and gave it to my brother recently.Genevieve Netzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004780820713448880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-83405081211060839242012-08-12T20:44:39.996-05:002012-08-12T20:44:39.996-05:00Thanks for sharing about a real Hank.
