Bob the Border Collie came to stay with us, and this guy is just cool.
Since Bob goes to daycare in town, he’s already well-versed in group play — which worked out perfectly because we had other friendly dogs here, including a few pups he already knew. There’s something pretty special about arriving in a new place and realizing you’ve got familiar friends waiting for you.
Bob is alert, incredibly well-behaved, and has such a fantastic personality. Call him inside and he’s immediately all about the pets, leaning in with that sweet face that just melts your heart.
And let’s talk fetch… because Bob is an absolute all-star. He’s got that classic Border Collie stare-down, locking eyes on the byall like a hawk until the moment you pick it up. Then he’s off — lightning fast. We kept the throws unpredictable, sending the ball in every direction so he never knew where he was headed next.
One of the coolest things about Bob? He loves to hide the ball when he brings it back. Behind the snowblower, next to the tunnel, just out of sight — then he’d step back a few feet and give that intense stare, daring you to find it. Sometimes he hid it so well I had no idea where it was, and all I had to say was, “Bob, get the ball, bring it closer,” and he’d do exactly that… drop it right at my feet, then step back again, ready for the next throw.
Bob can jump high and catch the ball with such grace, and while we know that comes with the breed, it never stops being impressive. Even better, he plays fetch with other dogs without being greedy — letting others grab the ball first, patiently waiting for it to be dropped, and then jumping right back into the game.
Bob, you are one heck of a dog, and we absolutely loved having you here. 🐶💙
