I had the cutest experience the other morning and wanted to share.  My inlaws live close to a lake that is kind of a nature reserve and the lake houses lots of birds but used to be quite polluted.  Of course we have gifted it and it looks so much better and now every time we are there visiting I usually take our dog for a walk around the lake it being such a beautiful place to walk.

On Christmas morning we went for our stroll and instead of being somewhat reserved and suspicious of the dog like they normally are, the whole flock of birds got into the water and started following the dog, all acting as if they were quite excited to see her – it was an “where have you been?” moment.  It was the weirdest thing and at first I thought they might have thought we had food but I quickly saw that they had no interest in me whatsoever and that it was all about the dog… and they literally followed her, swam all the way down the lake and back.  After a little while she almost started looking a bit nervous cause she is a herding dog and she is the one who is supposed to be chasing them… and these were all following her…  Anyone who has known a border collie knows that they are pretty special… and that they do this “mind thing” while herding and me thinks she might be better at it than even she knows
