My parents say I’m a little awkward but I like to say I’m quirky. Have you seen my ball? I’m a herding dog and love to herd my sisters but sometimes they get mad at me when I bite their necks, but I’m literally just trying to work. Have I mentioned I love my ball? It’s my favorite. I can chase it all day long but my parents make me stop every once in a while because I’m “obsessed”. I don’t get it. They call it an obsession, I call it a lifestyle.“

She doesn't bark at any people or pets, she does however love chasing rabbits and squirrels.“

It recently cracked, so I need to get another one over the winter“
