But you're cheating, mollykins ! You headlined your post '....teach an old DOG'. Honestly, why do I bother ? I've said often enough on here that a Border Collie is not a dog.It's some alien hyper-intelligent being that looks like a dog. The aliens who sent it cleverly disguised it to pass undetected among innocent humans (and sheep). Yours, yet more cunningly, has been instructed by its creators to pass as not pure-bred, but don't be fooled. Give it a town map and a copy of What's On? and it'll take itself to the cinema, you mark my words (unless, of course, there's nothing on worth seeing, in which case the 'dog' will stay at home)
Paws? 'She' will do a lot more than paws, whatever age she's supposed to be.
