Does a pair of female Border Collies count?

Only if both of them starred as Lassie.
Alas, no Lassies they- their skills lie elsewhere.
The older one is pretty good at problem solving. She figured out how to play catch/fetch upstairs without moving: she runs up the stairs, retrieves the toy then throws it back down. She has also figured out she doesn't have to throw things anymore since we got the younger dog. She hands the toy off to her compatriot to return to the thrower.
That's right, she delegated "fetching."
OTOH, the younger dog- a red merle- is quite the athlete. If we trained her to do it, she'd have made a great frisbee catching dog. She earned the nickname "Red Raider" by taking stuff from the other dog...and unwary humans.
However, if tasked with getting Timmy out of the well, I'm sure hypothermia would claim him as they waited for his stupid ass to throw 'em something.

My family's dogs are evil.
Lucy - A 12? Year old Austrailian cattle dog. Lucys funny. When ever she wants to be petted she sits right next to you then the nudges your hand sho that's its ontop of her head. She knows how to open the side door to the house, so if it was unlocked she is able to would enter into the house by shoving the screen door until it popped open then turning the door knob. She taught all our dogs to wait for treats before going out of the house. For instance, sihce she sleeps in the garage she would sit infront of the door and block it until you got her a dog treat then she will try to open it and go to the garage. If you were trying to take her ourside she would wait by the door until you showed her the treat.
Coleman- A black yorkiepoo. He does the same thing as lucy, but since he's allowed to sleep in doors (behind a baby gated room) he blocks the baby gate. He's a high jumper so whenever someone is sitting on a chair or sofa he runs up and jumps onto your lap and licks your face. However, since my mom hates him being on the furnature he runs off if he sees her (or sits on a lap).
Bella- A tan minipoodle mix. She learned to steal treats from Coleman (lucy taught her that). She takes advantage of her cuteness whenever my mom yells at her to get off furnature.
My little brother taught Bella and Coleman to steal socks and other small objects, which they do whenever they want to play.

sounds like your little brothr is evil and may have taught them all that they know.

No more like chaotic selfish with aweful jerkwad tendencies.
On a side note, am I the only one who gets annoyed when publishers of a limited print, textbook, or rare book decide to place an ebook on sale at full price?

Nope- I don't see much reason for eBooks to cost over $15 unless they're HUGE or contain e-only features.

*rant* when Hasbro sold the pdfs for the same price as the books, that really torqued my jaw! */rant*

I was beginning to think the Hive died.
Hello everyone.
Hope everyone had a good week.
I've lost over 12 pounds in the past three weeks and brought my blood sugar from over 400 to about 150 on a regular rate.
but there are days I would kill (okay- no exaggerating allowed... seriously injure) someone for a pepporoni pizza with onion. sigh.... I'm drooling. (no really I am!)
Been messing with my Heroclix collection. Never realize how many you have over the past 8-9 years until you do an inventory of them. I got a lot!
