Popular Post heppnerguy Posted October 25, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 MY granddaughter has a border collie that looks just like this one. I had to cut it for her and we are going to give it to her as a gift at her wedding shower. She is so in love with her dogs and takes them with her often. They ride on the back of her flat bed pickup truck. They are working cow dogs and also extremely well trained. I loved cutting this one for her. I know she will like it a lot. This is a pattern made be Gayle and posted in The Scroller Café. Dick heppnerguy Rohn, spotsdad, John B and 12 others 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting really anxious to get back to the shop. You and both know that you do better work with cataracts then I am capable with my Excalibur saws, a magnified light, and all the efforts combined, but I do have a small advantage right now because you can not use your saw, so that helps me in the point category for a small amount of time. I need to call you tomorrow. We have not talked for a little while and I am only about 10 days away from going to Heppner, then I can come up to your house again and bore you to death once more.

John B Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) A border collie story. Once upon a time, many many years ago, my Dad was working in an orchid. He heard a dog yelping and and bloke yelling so went to investigate. Well this mongrel man was giving the poor old dog a hiding so Dad gave him one and took the dog. We named her Trixie and if ever there was a faithful dog she was it. She used to help round up the cattle and sheep and play with us kids until she heard a car coming down the road in the evenings. She would then run to the gate and wait for Dad to get the car through and jump in the front with him. She would follow him everywhere while he was home. And when she could she'd go to work with him. A great dog and she had some beaut pups over the years. Edited October 28, 2018 by John B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to spend some time with my granddaughter at her home where they have 7 border collie dogs. 4 of them are puppies, they are so cute and lovable. I am not much of a dog person, but they were really intelligent and well mannered, even at a young age. Thanks for taking time to write me this story. It is a real heart warmer.
