Scotties are terriers, bred to keep the area clear of vermin
like rats and mice. But ours thinks she’s a herd dog. She frequently tries to
keep the grandkids in line, with mixed results. But she’s at her most
entertaining when she tries to show the cat who’s boss. That’s right. I have a
dog who herds cats. It started on a morning when we were expecting the cleaners
to come. I always put all the pets in their kennels while the house is being
cleaned, but the cat had anticipated this and was hiding. Lassie found her
under the bed and set to barking. When she realized I couldn’t crawl under and
grab her, she forced the cat out and into the kennel. She does the same thing
when the cat creeps under the deck in the back garden. And every night at
bedtime, she trees the cat on the railing atop the staircase. Because she can.
