First post!!

Hello world! I'm new here and this is my first post. I don't quite know what to say. I guess that will get easier with time. I'm Lexi, as my profile says, and I'm 3 year old border collie (I think, I'm actually not quite sure when my birthday is)! I fit right in with some of my breed's typical tendencies - I have lots and lots of energy, and I'm smart, and I need a job to do. But I am also not the highest energy border collie around - see, my job is to get petted and loved. I'm sooo good at being adorable. Really, my gallery pictures just don't do me justice. My mom and dad tell me I'm disgustingly cute, and then they pet me anyway (they can't resist my charm). So as long as I get petted and cuddled lots and lots, I'm pretty content with my daily run and walk.

My mom wants to start agility, but there are no local groups, and she doesn't think we have time yet. That's okay with me. We are so busy hiking and camping that I'm too worn out to learn a new sport. We do get to go and watch sheepdog trials though - mom's boss has 4 border collies and they all compete in the trials! I'm not horribly interested in sheep myself, but I do find it intriguing to watch the dogs run. They get to run so much when they're herding. I don't know why I don't want to herd them - I know I'm a herding dog. I do like to try and herd mom and dad out of the lake and onto shore when they try to swim. I just know that with only two legs and their weird attempts at doggy paddling, they could be lost at sea forever. Not us dogs, we have four legs for that. But I still don't like swimming very much. I just swim out to them and try to bring them back with me. Then I roll in the sand and shake it all over - it feels so good! For some reason mom always gets mad when I do it on her towel. These humans - they just don't know how good it feels.

Well, that's all for now. I'm sure there will be lots more to come! And mom says we can upload some more photos off dad's computer when he gets home. He's out of town for a few days. Sadly, mom says I now have to go have a bath... I think I will try to shake the water everywhere. Maybe then she'll let me get out?

- Lexi
