From one "herding" dog to another, congratulations on being today's "chosen one".
Great photo of you on the green grass--really shows off your beautiful black coat.
Our pooch has the same herding tendencies and protectiveness too-
It sounds like you are one smart dog too!

You also sound like one pampered border collie--walks to the park, fun at the cabin, snoozing in bed.....wow your humans must really love you!
But be careful herding the bears around.....

Have a grrrrrrreat day with Feline companion "Bootsie"--

Hooray for Fergus!
