WALK WITH FOUR FEET AND CARRY A BIG STICK

Border Collies are over achievers. Seriously. They are of course known as sheep herding dogs. They also herd cattle. And they're used to shoo geese off beaches and runways. And space shuttles, they're trained to herd space shuttles. When more border collies began to go into TV commercials and the numbers available for herding became reduced, that's when NASA cancelled the shuttle program.

Border collies are one of the most successful Frisbee sport dogs. And agility. And obedience. And tae kwan do. Border collies excel at this traditional Korean martial art, to the extent that most predict that border collies will dominate the tae kwan do events at the Olympics. Why do you think North Korea is developing nuclear weapons.

As I mentioned, border collies have become very popular in Hollywood. They are all over TV commercials, one co starred with Jeff Bridges in the movie A Dog Year. Many breeds of dogs are used in movies but what border collies really want to do is direct. I understand Martin Corsese may be retiring.

Then there is Miss Terra. She can't be satisfied with fetching a humble old stick. Oh no, not my border collie. She wants to fetch logs, trees, the beams of Spanish galleons, most of the Amazon rain forest ... all at once.

All of which means it's been a while since I've done a Terra video so I took our little Panasonic point and shoot camera to the dog park.

Here you will see my dog assembling material to build the world's largest dog house. It will have four stories, a two car garage, hot tub, eat in kitchen, space shuttle launch pad

Fucking border collies.

Oh, this video will give you a perfect opportunity to play Spot the Typo. Because I'm not an overachiever.

Fucking border collies.
