I meant to mention....on sunday we went up to soldier hollow (site of the 2002 olympic cross county skiing) to see the sheepdog championship. let's just say those dogs are just a tad smarter than gracie . amazing!

for some reason, most of the dogs have names like jim, don and tom. not a norm to be found!

Border Collies are wicked smart...and have way too much energy! Looks like a lot of fun to go see them.

I've been to a few sheepdog trials. They are loads of fun to watch.

Penny has a very strong herding instinct. It's too bad I don't have some sheep for her to wrangle.

does anyone else feel like their dog sometimes changes sizes? :shock:

sometimes, I look at gracie and she seems BIG. when she's crowding me off the bed with absolutely no regard for me, she seems BIG. but when she's curled up in a little ball.....she looks like a lap dog

Amen. Brian still thinks he's a lap dog sometimes. Not so much.

An extremely dedicated dog has continued to show its loyalty, keeping watch on its owner's grave six years after he passed away.

Capitan, a German shepherd, reportedly ran away from home after its owner, Miguel Guzman, died in 2006. A week later, the Guzman family found the dog sitting by his grave in central Argentina.

Miguel Guzman adopted Capitan in 2005 as a gift for his teenage son, Damian. And for the past six years, Capitan has continued to stand guard at Miguel's grave. The family says the dog rarely leaves the site.

"We searched for him, but he had vanished," widow Veronica Guzman told LaVoz.com. "We thought he must have got run over and died.

'The following Sunday we went to the cemetery, and Damian recognized his pet. Capitan came up to us, barking and wailing as if he were crying."

Adding to the unusual circumstances, Veronica says the family never brought Capitan to the cemetery before he was discovered there.

"It is a mystery how he managed to find the place," she said.

Cemetery director Hector Baccega says he and his staff have begun feeding and taking care of Capitan.

"He turned up here one day, all on his own, and started wandering all around the cemetery until he eventually found the tomb of his master," Baccega said.

"During the day he sometimes has a walk around the cemetery, but always rushes back to the grave. And every day, at six o'clock sharp, he lies down on top of the grave, stays there all night."

But the Guzman family hasn't abandoned Capitan. Damian says the family has tried to bring Capitan home several times but that he always returns to the cemetery on his own.

"I think he's going to be there until he dies, too. He's looking after my dad," he said.
