A Dog’s Life

I’ll never understand the differences between my two Border Collies – Buddy and Max (they have many nicknames, like Bud and Bud Light for example).

Max is all energy, and will no doubt act like a puppy until the day he dies. He will run until he drops, take 5 minutes to recharge and then run again. He can play “fetch” until my arm goes numb from throwing the ball.

Buddy? Definitely the thinker. Throw the ball for Buddy and he will bring it back. Throw it again, and he will bring it back. Third time, he goes and gets it, then goes off to chew the ball after giving you that “Screw you pal, if you don’t want it then I’m going to chew on it.”
