[image description: two screenshots of tags people have added to this post. the first is from user mouseratz and reads:

"grew up with a sheltie. yes he herded me to brush my teeth every night. he did not like me much and did not want to be touched 99% of the time anyone under 5ft was a sheep and not a person. he tolerated children. he loved my mom and dad though"

the second is from user kalibrate and reads:

"archer recently made up a new rule which is if he finds dropped food he'll bring it over to show me to see if its ok to eat it, hes very talented"

fun thing about herding and/or generally neurotic breeds: they are really good at following rules you have instituted, but they will also make their own Dog Rules they will follow stringently whether or not you like it
