Hello!


Hi. My name is Herbie and I’m a three year old black and white border collie. I live in South Shropshire with Mike and Sue, two horses – Ted and Gatsby – a cat called Ollie and two hens.

I get on well with all of them apart from Ollie – a large silver tabby – who thinks he rules the roost and hisses at me and bosses me around and Ted – an ex-racehorse with no brain and far too much braun. Unfortunately, I was on the receiving end of Ted’s hind foot last year when I was trying to herd him away from the gate and he kicked me and knocked out several of my front teeth. Now my Hollywood smile is a thing of the past.

The hens are another story. One hen has the hots for me and follows me everywhere and when I turn on her she just stops still and cringes. She’s always trying to pinch my food and sit by me. It’s all very embarrassing, especially when I have friends over to play and she’s in my face.

I have great fun playing with lots of other dogs who come on the Barking Mad Weekends organised by my
my owner, Sue.

Hello Herbie

Daizydog here. Mum and me had a brilliant weekend and it was lovely to meet you and your Mum. Mum said she thinks I have a crush on you - blush :-)

Woof from Herbie: I wasn't feeling too well at the last weekend. I had to go to the vet for a biopsy yesterday. Iain the vet thinks I've got an auto immune disorder. My sister has had the same problem. I hope I'll feel better soon and will be on form when I meet you next Daizy.
