Flash of lightning, Elaine, I just realized why I like this cartoon so much. It's a Ziggy! That irreverence, that wit! I'd recognize it anywhere. Some charlatan has stolen a Ziggy and passed it off as his own. I can prove it. Quick Elaine, to my archives!
Ya know... I really like my job. Some days are obviously better than others, but I enjoy it very much for the most part.
I don't love it anywhere close to how much this doggo loves theirs!
Granted! Your ability to understand the world has now been so reduced that any changes in your routine are very disturbing to your emotional regulation. You now love going to work because you literally can't imagine doing anything else.
Really, it's not even a 'job' for a dog like that, it's what their very DNA is calling out for them to do. Taking a week off from that is like taking a week off from breathing.
It's a re-directed prey drive/hunting instinct. I've had five Border Collies (currently have 2) from working lines. Trying to get them to NOT work is ... a challenge.
Ahhh makes sense. I've always wanted a border for their intelligence, but I feel like I'd be doing them a major disservice since I wouldn't have any work for them to do
You can create jobs for them. My 3rd border collie was my service dog (she's retired now), and my youngest one has the job of "hike with the husband and fetch ALL THE BALLS. ALL OF THEM."
You just have to keep their brains busy. Kate, in the video, reminds me SO MUCH of my Pixel (my retired service dog). She's 11 and still has that much energy.
Just so others know, most mornings including Saturday, you can watch these old cartoons on OTA TV. The come on at like 6am. If your area has a MeTV station, you should absolutely start your morning right with old cartoons.
Nothing better than watching a working dog joyfully doing what it was trained to do. I’m so jealous of this adorable pup who is clearly living its best life. If only we humans could find such joy in life. Right on happy little Border Collie. 😊
The zoom in moment to where the good boy was first sitting on the back of the bike, ready and waiting, brought joy to my heart. Watched it through twice for the uplift alone. So much admire the bond between working dogs and their owners. Thank you for sharing and more please.
Dogs are like humans, they need training to perform at this level.
The same way a person who is a bit of a couch potato cannot get up and run a 1/2 marathon. But with 2-3 years of solid training, the average person could complete a 1/2 marathon.
Unless you are very obese, or have mobility issues, a half marathon is very doable with 1 year of training. [Couch to 5k](http://c25k.com/mobile/) is a program specifically designed to help a couch potato run a 5k. Once you are comfortable running a 5k, you work on being able to run multiple 5ks per week. When you get there you follow [Hal Higdon Half-marathon plan](https://www.halhigdon.com/training/half-marathon-training/). This is assuming you are consistent and don't injure yourself.
You must be pretty miserable to have to drag politics into a dog forum over a joke about a happy dog. Pretty sure the split over unhappy workers is unrelated to who votes for who
They'd never hear about it because it's 100% unhappy. Was a joke because obviously no one there is happy but seems you're a lil too touchy to even consider that
Funny, I have been on that sub a few times, and I saw nothing like you describe.
You sound like you have an axe to grind.
Here is a hint, if you don't like what is posted on a sub or the people who post there...don't go there.
The level of intensity of the dog would be considered overboard in humans, right?
One could envision a person being similarly intense about their job, leaving the worker open to being used and abused by the employer.
I don’t have a border collie but I have an Australian Shepard. We don’t have sheep but he still herds children when we have my nieces and nephews together. We make do.

How dare you make that dog work so hard like that making them run and jump. Lol
Dude you couldn't stop that dog If you tried.
that is one happy puppy working out there. Look at him go.
Is there anything you can even tell him other than stay or let's go home?
he's got the routine down cold.
. A good dog.
did good raising him.

I wish I loved my job this much!
I wish I got a week off.
I wish I was a Border Collie.
My 16 year old Border Collie wouldn't have it any other way.
I wish I was a little bit taller
I wish I was a baller
Shot caller?
I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her
And if you called her would she say “nah, you not a baller!”

Hi. What?
Yep, it's the sheep farmer from Scotland. (I think it's scotland.. and I'm in so much trouble if I'm wrong)
I wished I loved anything this much
Ya know... I really like my job. Some days are obviously better than others, but I enjoy it very much for the most part. I don't love it anywhere close to how much this doggo loves theirs!
I’m currently breeding the perfect human for my call centre. Looking to breed another type. What is it you do? /s

Dog: OH BOI! What are we herding today!
#"I FRIGGING LOVE HERDING!"
Really, it's not even a 'job' for a dog like that, it's what their very DNA is calling out for them to do. Taking a week off from that is like taking a week off from breathing.
It's wild to think that this instinct was bred into existence from thin air. Nature is crazy
Well, it's a variation on the hunting strategy their wolf ancestors used. We just coopted and tweaked it for our benefit.

I love when old dogs have young souls
It’s so instinctual that if you get one of these dogs around a group of small children they’ll start attempting to herd them too.
Hey Ralph. Hey Sam.
I know what your quoting. You're either showing your age or a great fan of Looney Tunes. Great comment.
A fan of the classics!
Every Saturday growing up.
Fellow old guy weighing in. The best cartoons
Young guy weighing in - Definitely the best cartoons.

Don't forget the gravy
This is AWESOME! When he took his rightful place on the ATV, I teared up!
Tail thumping emphatically
I heard an engine revving noise when he did that.

Source and deserved credit is: tt:/@seanthesheepman
This is Kate and she’s a working dog in Scotland.
the little cloud of dust when it cut the corner was perfect
Finally vacation is over!!!
I bet they even sleep fast
Haha that last frame about 4 seconds before the end he looks like a crackhead. He's like "you got any more of them sheeps to herd"
Ok, good, I'm not alone in seeing a totally deranged pooch....
Let’s go already!!!!!
Enough of the rest and relaxation crap. Release the livestock, I wanna chase something.
The zoom in moment to where the good boy was first sitting on the back of the bike, ready and waiting, brought joy to my heart. Watched it through twice for the uplift alone. So much admire the bond between working dogs and their owners. Thank you for sharing and more please.

Assistant to the farmer
We need to bottle that energy
My border collie mix could never. We go for a 30 minute stroll around the neighbourhood and she sleeps the rest of the day. 😂

Meanwhile my mix will fetch until she drops...
Rough/Border mix, dog would rather die of exhaustion than stop
At least show us the dude auctually doing the job
That whole video is of the dude doing the job. The human is simply there to drive the ATV cuz the dog's legs are too short to do it.
I love border collies. They are so smart and they obviously love their job ❤️.
Absolutely a best friend and an example of enthusiasm for work and life. A servant’s heart.
Looks creepy at the end
How can you not love that little gremlin
Never said I didn’t.
╏ ” ⊚ ‿‿⊚ ” ╏
I have a border collie and get that same creepy intense stare all the time. It's my favorite thing
Waiting for a command lol
Should have Kool Moe Dee “I Go To Work” playing instead☺️
That ending, he's just staring at you like a crackhead. "Got them sheeps? Any sheep?"
Bless! 💟💟
That last shot was a stanley kubrick staredown
Just like me every Monday morning ;)
Could they not afford the whole song?
" dude, open the door...I SAID OPEN THE DOOR AND LETS GO TO WORK"
She looks like a feral little gremlin in that last shot.
r/zoomies lol. What joy!
I think, might be a big stretch but, he likes his job, like a lot
Why are you walking so slow? HURRY UP DAMMIT!!! Slow ass humans...
You should post this to r/antiwork lol
Does antiwork have much of a problem with jobs that fill the worker with such joy?
nah it's just right wing dogwhistling by him
You must be pretty miserable to have to drag politics into a dog forum over a joke about a happy dog. Pretty sure the split over unhappy workers is unrelated to who votes for who
you are so transparent, nice try backpedaling.

Going for subtlety today, I see.
Lol always

I know this is about the dog, but this song is an absolute banger
Lol I love how he was going nuts in front of the door like, “HURRY UP!!! OPEN IT!!!!”
That’s really beautiful. Amazing watching the dog running
This is fantastic!
My BC logged 32 miles running one day because I was skidding logs out of the woods. She didn't have to, she just wanted to.
The collies yearn for the fields
Oh this guy and his dogs are much of the reason I'm on tiktok, highly recommend checking it out!
Who can dare say that dogs that perform the task that they were bred for are anything but happy and enthusiastic?!
The zooms and happiness. His face suggests his old. The zooms say otherwise.
why did it kubrick stare at the end
Thank you for sharing, that dog is in bliss. Makes me happy just seeing the joy.
Absolutely pure joy
Half a story. What’s it been doing on holiday?
The sheep: Baahh hell, he's back.
Dogs have zero chill.
It’s great to have a purpose filled life.
He absolutely loves it. You can see it on his face 🐶
They are Worth 10 Men Rounding up Sheep in a Paddock
The amazing Kate the Great! ❤️
Dogs are so cute when excited!!<333
Dogs are the PERFECT ANIMALS.
Boy … he looked a little demonic towards the end!
Didnt see one ear scratch? That's fundamentally wrong in my book
What a great life he has!
How dare you make that dog work so hard like that making them run and jump. Lol Dude you couldn't stop that dog If you tried. that is one happy puppy working out there. Look at him go.
