Border Collies Without Sheep: Chaos Ensues
Ever wondered what happens when a border collie has no sheep to herd? Spoiler: they’ll find something—anything—to manage. My friend’s collie, Luna, has taken to organizing the household cats. She’ll stare them down, circle the couch, and even try to nudge them into a single, orderly pile. The cats, of course, are not impressed.
Meanwhile, my own collie, Pixel, has decided her new job is laundry supervisor. She’ll fetch socks, drag shirts across the house, and occasionally hide my shoes as if they’re rogue livestock. If I’m not careful, she’ll herd me, too—nudging me toward the kitchen when it’s dinner time.
Turns out, border collies don’t need sheep to be busy. Give them a task, and they’ll thrive. Ignore them, and they’ll invent chaos. Either way, life with a border collie is never boring.
