Now this is my kind of thread. I used to have a border collie/black lab cross who was the sweetest dog (except to the mailman), she would actually say "hello" when you walked in the door. Now I have a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever named Ceilidh, and she's batshit insane. She's so silly and dumb sometimes, but really smart other times (we have a lot in common). She's pretty damn awesome.
