Divot The Herding Terrier
Divot has a strange little quirk that she does when she gets excited. When
I give the dogs their chewies (they always get the kind with the flavored
basting) I always have them lay on their "blankie," which is an old beach towel.
This helps to keep the basting stains off the carpet and they're very good
about staying on it while they have a chewie. When I spread the towel out on
the floor, they know they're getting their chewie. They get so excited about
this that they are bouncing off the floor as I walk. If Divot is behind me she nips
at the back of my knee as if she's "herding" me into the room. Sometimes I walk
backward so she doesn't nip me -- especially when I'm wearing shorts. It hurts!
I always tell her, you're a member of the Terrier Group not the Herding Group!
