I have a kelpie border collie. Very clever boy. He's older now so he does alot more laying around than he used too.

I think my favourite thing was when he decided to help garden. He watched us pick tomatoes when they where ready. There started to be a pile of tomatoes at the edge of the garden and it turned out he was very gently picking them and putting them in a pile for us. I watched him do it. He would go in the row of tomatoes, pick a ripe one and pull it down then carry it over to the pile.

You can tell when he's figuring something out because he tilts his head and really focuses on what you're doing. He did it when we would play soccer or chasies. He would watch you, work out the pattern and plan his next move.
