   Can you believe that these people are getting PAID for this? And why are their keepers leaving them out unattended?

   His aides must be sweating bullets. They know there’s nothing in his head that does not directly relate to himself.

   I can’t in my wildest imaginings come up with ANY way ANY one would think Trump is capable of debating ANY one. He has spend an entire lifetime warping his entire intellectual infrastructure into a pretzel of self-satisfaction/glorification and sick venom toward anyone who not just crosses him but who doesn’t in some form or fashion make him feel good about himself. There is nothing in his head to debate with. Nothing. In. His. Head. To. Debate. With. NOTHING. Do you remember him prancing around behind Hillary Clinton during their “debates”, like a schoolyard bully, probably thinking to himself that he looked pretty threatening. He won’t even manage that this time.

   It’s more that they grab them than actually bite down. Thing is, they grab right where there’s a crucial tendon, which if things went wrong, could cripple the sheep. That’s why no farmer will have a gripper on the place. We’ve seen him grip our BCxKing Charles, Sweep, exactly that way when he gets excited, and he’s even done it to me (just once). It’s so non-threatening that it doesn’t faze Sweep in the least but you can’t take chances with sheep. I’m glad you asked; always happy to share about BCs.

   I note with interest that, while the “fashionable” females among us can’t wait to be photographed as nearly-naked as possible as every social event, Milania is carefully covered for the most part. Maybe she understands that posing naked for fame and fortune is not all it’s cracked up to be.

   Ironically, even as Cohen is testifying that “blind loyalty” to this man is what got him jail time, disbarred and who knows what else. It’s not just the stupidity that turns the stomach; it’s the cowardice. But… of WHAT?? This is an empty man capable of nothing but scheming and satisfying his flesh. He is internally incapable of taking personal action of any kind that doesn’t involve one of those two things. WHAT are they afraid of?

   Aahhh, SWEET karma!

   They are utterly amazing. A couple of years ago we rescued our latest, Rynn, who was never trained but who demonstrated the herding intensity of the BC from the get-go. Unfortunately he can’t ever fulfill his “destiny” because he’s a gripper and no farmer would stand for it.

   I met Border Collies for the first time when I worked for a vet. Rock walked in and I was in love. Short time later I adopted my first, Skye, from a colleague. I had NO idea what BCs were all about, but it didn’t take long. Skye stayed in the back hall when we were out; room was fitted with a standard door with a standard round handle. Came home one day, door was open, dog was happily in the house. Happened a couple of times, we figured we needed to put a hook-and-eye on the door. Did. Few days later, door is open, Skye was happily in the house. He not only figured out how to turn the knob, but how to jump up and dislodge the hook. Finally we got a hook that had a spring-close on it. THAT did it.

    I understand the Trump campaign is rushing replicas of the chair he slept in to market. /s
