Border Collies Rock

We knew it all along, but it sure is nice to have it broadcast to the rest of the world. It turns out, dogs are pretty brainy, with a memory equivalent to a three-year-old.

No shocker here. Bailey knows all her toys and keeps entertained by herding them from room to room and getting us to have her fetch them. Our only problem is coming up with unique names for each of them...She's got the fox, the ring, the paw-bone, the green thing, the fleece, the frog...but how many different names can you come up with for a ball??

Oh, and I'm sure labs and goldens are probably smart too.
