The dog is a delightful "high energy" nine week old Border Collie pup. She
didn't lie at my feet for long. She checked several times to see if she is
allowed in the trash can yet. I few to see if we are still being
unreasonable about her toilet locations in bad weather. Went out many times
just because its cool that we will open the door if she yips at it. No
questions asked.

Also insisted that we go out and play soccer in the mud. I'm not quite sure
of the rules but she does the low border collie sheep chasing run after them
if I'll kick them across the yard. And also tries to push the soccer balls
around and guard them.

As for cleaning up, you would not believe how much debris this pup brings
into the house. Thank God we put in tile and wood floors before we got her.

But it really was a lovely peaceful twenty minutes or so this morning. A
lot of people didn't get a lovely twenty minutes today.
