Well, actually, we are taught proper English and grammar here. And yes, we stick in extra "u"s in a bunch of words. Because English came from England, and that's the way THEY do it! We do like to follow tradition...not like you rebels!

MMM here...
Annie, Bitsy, Toffee(Dude!)..........I have this devious diet plan that you may want to try. The humans call it Reverse Psychology. I just call it the FOOD FOR MCKINLEY PLAN!
Everyday, I run and chase the birds, then the leaves. I swim and dive for fish. I romp and tease the neighbor's cat. I chase Tucker and nip at his heals to make him run faster. I herd all the ducks onto the jetty. I bark like a madman while running around this tree that this stupid Crane perches in. I run, run, run, run, run and then RUN SOME MORE.............................and then Jan thought I needed a job, so we do this Agility stuff now twice a week..........................
.....................and you know what???? I got my lunch back!!!! I get 1/2c kibble first thing in the morning, another half cup at lunch and then green beans and carrots mixed with some kibble at dinner. It is GREAT, all this food! I get a marrow bone every other evening and a piece of chicken once a week.
And seriously, I still spend plenty of couch time too. We, shelties, have the life: 525,948 minutes a year to do nothing but be a dog, and we are the best breed of dogs!
Try it! It is worth the FOOD!
