never turn your back on a Border Collie

Steve in VA · Mar 5, 2016

I never saw this one coming. Took the electric golf cart out to collect the mail and a few other stops. Bowie ran along but decided to ride back up the hill home. I pulled into the garage and got off to put some stuff in the Dodge. As I left I hear a grinding crash. I forgot to turn off the key so when Bowie sat on the accelerator, off he rode until he hit the cider press and sand blaster. No damage. Lesson.

LOL. That was a good one.

Almost like butt dialing your cell phone. How about tunesiss the driving cat on SNL. You didn't turn off the key? Couple of neighbors over has a used golf cart. His grandkid did that. Course the kid is a spoiled, and I mean rotted brat.

I bet my BC would drive if she had thumbs lol. They sure are smart dogs aren't they.

I just had to laugh affectionately. A couple of years ago my chocolate lab did the same thing with my golf cart only he went across the yard. When I saw what was happening he was sitting there watching the world go by without a care in the world. LOL I called his name and he stood up releasing the foot feet and coasted to a stop.

Frequently too smart for their own good.

Earlier today, I heard of a yellow lab driving a semi across a road and trashing a car. It was in Mankato, Minnesota. Got me to thinking of Jon.

In the summer if I stop at the store for one or two things I leave the truck run with the A/C on. I have two phones, one for work and my smartphone, I get 5 steps away from the truck and my phone that's bluetooth connected to the truck rings - it was the dog (probably reminding me about a bone). Those touch-screens in the dash are not a good idea if you have a dog!

Agreed

JD Seller · Mar 5, 2016

I had a good laugh think about your dog driving. Mine has not driven but she has locked me out of the pickup several times. I finally hid a key under the bed rail. I had to walk from the back of the farm the first time she locked me out. I had gotten out to do a quick check on a waterer and left her in the cab. I did not want her out around the cow right there. It sure was a cold walk back to the house to get the spare key. LAUGH. The dog was asleep on the front seat all happy to be in the heated cab.

My big great pyrenese (spelling) is death on anything that does not belong on the farm -- this afternoon the grandkids were out and we decided to build a wren house -- to the south building we go to saw out some wood and the dog comes in and has a fit in the corner -- yep a possum -- he took that thing out and guarded it with his life -- latter he came in and in the same spot took out the big male --a 10 pounder he took care of that one to -- yet he wouldnt hurt a hare on the grandkids head -- what a dog -- big --strong as an ox --but so gentle -- hard to beat a good dog!

I deliver feed to a place that has three of those big dogs. First trip they let me know how far I could go.Now that I have been on the place a few times.They will go with me or they just stay where they are at. Great watch dogs.

Hi Brendon Why don't you teach her to drive, There is some clowns out there that have thumbs somebody gave a driving licence to. Maybe she might do pretty good L.O.L.

BC's have a plan, you have to make sure your plan lines up with theirs.

They say that a Great Pyrenees will keep you and yours safe from unwanted visitors, A golden retriever will bring you the paper and your slippers, and a Border Collie will bring your house up to code.

Michael Price · Mar 5, 2016

Had that happen a few times, dogs love golf carts but I can remember twice they laid on the gas pedal.

David G · Mar 5, 2016

My BC has two soccer balls and a frisbee as companions, they are usually herded into the same place every evening before bed.

My Border Collie makes my Lab look like a moron...

We had a big mutt like that was death to woodchucks, great watchdog, gentle with the kids and little dogs. We always felt safe if the kids were in the woods or the house by themselves if that dog was with them.
