Something funny happened this morning.
I have a border collie who's about 8 years old and a Australian Shepherd who's 9 months old.
The Aussie gets real offended when critters come and take a shit in our back yard.
Today something pretty funny happened. Bunnies will come and get shelter in the yard because of some of the shrubs.
There were some today and for the first time the two dogs worked together to get them. The herding instinct kicked in.
The Aussie is just too fast and chased them down. The collie would cut them off and herd them in a corner Turns out bunnies don't have much stamina. The dogs exhausted them and then caught them.
What was funny is that the Aussie is the friendliest dog I have ever seen. It would catch the rabbits and then simply lick their heads. I didn't let the dogs hurt the rabbits. The collie would simply put its paw on the rabbit.
The rabbit chase is pretty routine in the morning. Now that the dogs seem to have it figured out, I'll try to record the action.
In case you are wondering, I simply picked up the rabbits that were to scared to tired to run and relocated them a couple of miles away from the property.
I wonder if rabbits are smart enough to know not to come back to our yard.
