He is home this week because he is underweight.

He is skin and bones but, still just thinking about the hunt.

He will not eat.

Last year he had to be put on an IV.....I hope he will eat today.
Good god, I hope he is ok.
Yes, my collies can't stand to see anything moving...it has to be stopped or gathered into a grouping. If I trot around the house, there will be someone nipping at my heels..."Stop that, momma! Stop!"

Thank you.

Last year it took Rip about four days to come down from his "predator high".

It's truly amazing.
Before Rio died, I played this game with them. Where I would get on one side of the kitchen island or a table and the point was to get them to chase me around it.
When I had one dog, that game could last a while, because I would just change directions, etc.
But once they were two, it was like they were totally coordinated in their hunting.
They would always immediately split off into two different directions and nail me right in the middle. There was no escape.

Pack hunting - bred into their genes.

It is amazing.

Rip has bee turned out with 30 dogs he has never seen and they form a pack in a heartbeat.

Where does this list really come from and why doesn't it have the cities or other locations with it, I mean where they are banned? They have a list of the breeds, but nothing else?????? Hmmm...... let me think about it......

I think the point is that when you hear about banning you automatically think of dogs other than some of the ones that were pictured. I won't go into breed banning because it stirs up a lot of emotion, but I believe that is the point that the OP is trying to make.
