I was walking down the hallway yesterday, and heard the Belles in the office writing a letter to Cooper. I thought I'd share a transcript of what I overheard:
Clara: To the Intruder.
Tara: I don’t think you can call him an intruder, the humans might get mad.
Clara: Okay then. To the interloper.
Annabelle: You can’t call him that either. Call him the stranger. He’s just a baby, but he’s still a stranger.
Clara: What. E.V.E.R. OK then, to the stranger. You are a puppy. You are not as important to them as we are.
Annabelle: The female human is Mom. The male human is Dad. And the boy human is the boy.
Tara: And I get all the balls and the stuffed animals that I want.
Annabelle: And I get first dibs on belly rubs.
Clara: And I get the chewies. All of the chewies.
Annabelle: And I sleep on Mom’s butt. You don’t. And you can’t have my cat either.
Clara: I don’t think he’ll want your stupid cat. But he can’t have Simon the cat, he isn’t stupid and he’s mine.
Tara: Did you mention that he can’t have the balls?
Clara: Yes, of course I did. I sleep at the man’s feet.
Tara: And I sleep at the female’s feet. Or I sleep on the floor right beside her. You have to find some other spot. I’m not giving up my spot.
Clara: And I’m not either.
Annabelle: I love puppies, I think you girls are being too harsh.
Clara: Shush it. And you can be a private in the Sheltie Army, but I’m going to be the first General, so get that thought out of your head.
Annabelle: I still love puppies.
Clara: Can I call him an intruder now?
Tara: Probably not.
Clara: OK.
Tara: Oh- tell him about the bathroom.
Clara: Right, and even though you’re an intruder, it’s my sheltie duty to tell you about the bathroom. That is the room at the end of the hall. It’s a horrible place.
Tara: Horrible things happen there. I don’t go in there. The female needs protected in there. You can do that. I’m not going in there. There is a tub there. It is very wet in there and it steals your stink. Just when you stink good, the tub steals it. Dad helps with that, but the tub does it.
Clara: It’s all yours. You can have it.
Annabelle: Shhhhh- I hear Mom. Act innocent.
Clara and Tara: Always. Hi mommy.
Clara: To the Intruder.
Tara: I don’t think you can call him an intruder, the humans might get mad.
Clara: Okay then. To the interloper.
Annabelle: You can’t call him that either. Call him the stranger. He’s just a baby, but he’s still a stranger.

it is SO true, if you have more than one sheltie they do conference, and plan, and sometimes it is against human wishes...After all we know once you bring a sheltie fur baby home. Life becomes ALL about them, and THEIR needs, right? They are the best in pack and they will LET you know this every chance they get. And if you are NOT getting it, bark, woofs, and antics, will ensue to convince you of their rank, place, or hierarchy. If you have girls, it is ALL about being top Diva. 
but even with that, I thought this conversation was really funny.
