Rascals the Border Collie
Sunday, August 10, 2008
14-year-old border collie Rascals is one of the most eccentric dogs I know. For instance, when we’re on a walk and I start talking on the phone, she immediately drops to the ground and stays there—no matter where we are (even in the middle of the street!).
When I sneeze, she attacks and bites my foot (not very hard, thankfully)! So now when I sneeze I yell "No, Rascals, don’t bite me!" and all she does is rush over and look disappointed that she can’t bite me.
Old lady Rascals is pretty cranky but she doesn’t really do much except snarl and make complain-y noises. The other dogs pretty much ignore her. Here, Rascals threatens to kill and eat Roxy, who trots by—completely oblivious.
Miss Rascals is ridiculously cute. She hates being in the back with the other dogs (she has space issues) so I often indulge her and let her be my co-pilot.
Rascals does not like coming through the “floating” screens. She is waiting for me to hold them aside!
Beach babe Rascals says, “Listen up, humans—I’m going to go long on the next one!”
