Sure, there are probably hundreds of additional animals who could have made the list, but the 20 you did include are all worthy of inclusion and the stories are interesting. You managed to include a lot of fascinating information on each entry, so reading through 20 fairly comprehensive entries was both fun and educational!

I can attest to the brilliance of Border Collies. I had one, Jess, who had an extensive vocabulary and an instinctive ability (and apparent need) to herd just about everything…sheep, birds, people. She was usually unsuccessful herding birds. They tended to just fly away.

Thanks for a great read!

You still haven’t found the gumption to procure your own screenname? You still insist on hanging off my coattails by using mine? I haven’t the time, patience, or inclination, to go back through threads and slam you every time you’ve posted as me.. but, just know, that you’re a sad sad individual. *incredulous stare*
