The nature of dogs

I’ve had dogs all my life, mainly working Kelpies, and from time to time you’ll find a certain dog exhibiting unusual behaviour.

We had one animal we picked up in the bush as a mature mongrel pup, and this bloke had an attitude problem, big time. He’d bite the bark off a tree!

Anyway the dog took a liking to be me and would have a go at the parents or anyone if they came within five feet.

I’ve had other very good dogs, but by cripes if you didn’t tether the pair, they’d get into the sheep and be shot.

Many years have gone by, and I now have a small dog, who considers the house to be her own, not to mention our camps sites. Everything must be clean and tidy!

Last weekend was a bit windy, with fences falling down, patio roofs coming off, and paper flying everywhere.

About four pieces of paper were dumped in the patio area and, as I watched her, she picked up each piece of litter, took it down the back yard and came back for the rest.

This is the reason I’ll always have dogs. Their nature always surprises me. LOL
