I think I read somewhere lockdown had put dog prices up a bit.
I live in Welsh sheep territory. If anyone is interested, I could probably "procure" a few good 'uns from the neighbourhood and supply them for a little bit cheaper than that.
And speaking of border collies, my close neighbours used to love border collies, and had owned many over the years I had known them. One time they wanted to go away for a few days to a place that didn't allow dogs. They asked me if I would feed Dylan and take him out for daily walks, and I willingly agreed.
A week before their trip, I took Dylan for his walks strictly supervised by the lady of the house. This went well. We would get to this small wooded area where the owner would let him off the lead and let him have a good run around. We would call him back and then take him home.
Anyway, off they went, so I pop round to their house and take Dylan out for walkies. We get to the woods and I get him loose as instructed. But, when I call him back, does he come? No chance. He is off like a shot.
I spent the next couple of hours hunting around for him to absolutely no avail. At this point, I'm really worried about how I'm going to explain to my neighbours, who really love this dog, how I've managed to lose him. It was a very nerve racking walk home, anticipating the very difficult phone call I was going have to make.
I arrived back at their home to find the little b*gg=r sitting on the doorstep with the most innocent look on his face. He had definitely outsmarted me.
Guess who didn't get let off the lead the next day.
