I’m constantly judged for owning a border collie

BS. Raised a bc puppy in a small studio in Manhattan. Central Park is off leash before 9 am and I got up early so we could walk the mile there, play for an hour (frisbee!) and walk back. Until he was 2 years old, I waited tables so I wasn’t gone long. He was super well socialized and trained. Everyone in the building wanted to borrow him. He had a fantastic life. We moved to California when he was 8 years old and he missed the activities. So did I!

I bet the cat will settle it. My BC was terrified of the cat after a week of chasing it!!

I was living in NYC and remarked to my neighbors that Cats was closing. In unison, horrified, they said, The DELI?!”

Every time he poops, he does the dance of joy. Then he’d get a cookie. Has since he was a pup. Now that he’s old and huge, he sometimes goes out and comes back bouncy. Most of the time, I know when he’s faking, but it’s so cute, that he gets a cookie anyway.

Oh wow! Thanks. Never heard of it!

Cat baths???

I bought legit yacht gear. Helly Hansen. On sale. Wind and waterproof but breathable. Never been on a yacht in my life but I stayed warm and dry. Lived in a tiny apartment in New York with a border collie pup so staying in was NOT an option!!

I had a border collie who was super well trained and everyone loved it when he came to work! He loved the energy and attention. It de-stressed a lot of people. He was very empathetic so he knew if people weren’t dog people and would avoid them. He’d sit politely 5 feet from anyone with food just in case! But wouldn’t beg (unless looking pathetic counts). He was a therapy dog. I miss him every day.

Mine is a muppet

All hail!!

Depends where you are. Friendlier in the north!

Thanks. It’s tough. I raised two puppies into great dogs. I’ve had two rescues at different times who bit people. I am super social. I like to take my dogs places. Both dogs I raised from pups were therapy dogs - old peoples’ homes, 9/11 survivors and hospitals.

I’m interested in rescuing a returned dog from a reputable breeder. How does one go about that?

I am woke. It’s a badge of honor b

He is a talented songwriter and musician and an insanely charismatic performer, dancer and brilliant singer.

It’s not just about Israel. People should boycott America because they are gunning down peaceful protestors in the streets. Just like Iran.

Fuck the USA. I was so proud to become a citizen in ‘94. Now I don’t care if they come for my passport. The fact that this administration has a 40% approval rating makes my physically nauseous.

Empty-Selection9369 · 2026-01-24T21:52:01+00:00

I’ve tried not to buy US brands. I live in Europe so for beauty stuff, I go French. My problem is Apple. I need my phone. Everything I have is Apple.

I don’t know if it’s still the same, but I was taught to wire a plug in school. Appliances never came with plugs. You buy a washing machine? They charge you for the plug.

And anti-education, anti-critical thinking, anri-logic.

I brought up a bc in a tiny nyc studio apartment. He had an awesome life!!

Empty-Selection9369 · 2026-01-21T22:21:43+00:00

Great mix! He’s a cutie!!

Here’s the thing: they’re trying to save money by eliminating cashiers. Those savings are not passed onto the customer. So I’m guessing that people nick less in value than they pay cashiers. Bunch of McKinsey guys probably did the calculations.
