Scout is now reading at a 4th grade level.
She’s a Border Collie, you know. She’s smart.
Happy Monday!

CUTE!! Don’t you just love those dear animals!
That reminds me of a bumper sticker my husband bought and put on the back of my Jeep:
‘My German Shepherd is smarter than your honor student.’ LOL
NanaDiana says
Now if you could only teach her to use the toilet and flush after herself. I have to ask is she named after Scout in To Kill A Mockingbird? xo Diana

Claudia, she’s sooooo cute!
We had a Border Collie/German Shepherd mix, named Jasper, who we rescued from the pound in 1991 when she was just 1 year old. She passed away in 2002. She was sooooo smart; practically human.
I still miss her and think about her all the time. She was my beautiful smart girl.

Adorable! We had collies for a number of years and they are sooooo intelligent and so enjoyable (except for the heavy shedding).

The Boston Lady says
Scout, I have no doubt you will be reading at a fifth grade level by summer.
Claudia, did you ever read Dean Koontz “Watchers” about the goldens who could read? It was a nice departure from his usual horror novels. And one of my all time favorites.
Have a great week. And Scout, please, whatcha reading?

The picture is awesome! I can see you making a nice poster of this one. What about coming up with a nice caption and selling a poster like this in your Etsy shop?
Got a good laugh today. Yes, Border Collies are VERY smart.
I have 2 dumb stubborn shit tzus but they are adorable and I adore them!

Debby says
So cute. I was wondering what kind of dog she was. I didn’t know she was a border collie. I think because she is so white. Border Collies must be like Springer…….their coloring can be so different.
camp and cottage living says
She’s definitely styl’in!
debi huntsman says
Hahahahaha!! Thanks for the chuckle Claudia, I needed that!
Happy Monday to you, and Scout!
