Gadzooks! Bipster was part termite! Kimo as a puppy got into a box of chocolates and in the middle of a chocolate/sugar rush did a chewing frenzy one afternoon but he never did the same sort of gnawing dervish like the Bip!
Yeah, it isn't always the nicest dogs which get remembered the most.
These two border collies have a huge vocabulary and now they've even taken up spelling. D-O-G is the same as "dog", "G-O" is the same as "go" and now Katie the Pest can spell "B-U-G". She's taken to staring at bugs and geckos on the ceiling now. Sheesh! Her job is to keep the chickens under control. Her secondary job is bug and gecko patrol. Kimo's job is to watch for lights and shadows. Katie is thrilled by sheeps, chickens, ducks, cats, fish, butterfly shadows, anything at all to keep into a group. Kimo isn't such a driven dog at all.
Yeah, considering what the dollar is likely to do in the near future, keeping hold of the land may be a much wiser choice in the long run. Actually maybe wiser in the not so long run, too!
I'm not sure Bip could spell, but she would quickly catch on that "dee-o-gee" was a synonym for dog, etc. And she would eavesdrop while pretending not to, and then nonchalantly act on the information. We miss her, she lived to 16. We lost our male Bing a bit over a year ago and so all we have left at the moment is another BC Sue rescued from being destroyed, Nani. As is usually the case, once the dogs are removed from owners who have no business with a BC, they become "normal" pretty fast. Though Nani is more intense, as in bug-nuts crazy; actually if Susie ever insists on paying the AKC fee for her, the name will be "Kealolo's ratbag possumface bugnuts shadowchaser". (the deal is that if she insists on registering that I get to make up the name). She's super-trainable but her nickname is "cringy" since she will always have issues due to the mistreatment by her original owners.
Feel free to email to compare dog notes, at dj@hawaii.rr.com, we probably shouldn't make Jay's list into a border collie club.
Actually, I have no idea whether/when we'll see hyperinflation and deflation, or in what sequence. All that's 'for sure' is that most of the nominal wealth is imaginary and that the coming decade or two should show a large shrinkage in such theoretical claims on real stuff.
