The Border Collie we lost earlier this year was one of the smartest we have ever had. When this dog looked at you he all but spoke. But we never could convince him that, no matter HOW long he sat under that tree, the squirrel he had just chased up it not only would NOT be coming down, he was long gone into another yard. One of my mental photographs of him is expectantly planted under that tree, looking up, willing that squirrel “down HERE!”
