The Border Collie Chronicles

Observations from (arguably) the World's Smartest Dogs;
(but, without question, the bestest friends!)
or, Life As We Understand It, as told from dad's shop.


Updated February 5, 2024

We're slowly but surely re-populating the site with old stories in a new format (but in no specific sequence).

We'll also post new ones occasionally as worthwhile topics come to us and as folks provide feedback

Again, we have ABSOLUTELY no intention of offending ...

Barbed Wire


Bear with us - we are in the process of "re-vamping" the site.
There are a lot more old stories waiting to be formatted and reposted and several ideas in the works!

Bubba always loved to read the "funny papers" and here is what he 'clipped'!

 
Bubba's Cartoons
(Through March 25, 2021)
     
 

 

This is a "funsy" little website that allows us (that's the BC's) to allow dad to vent about life's ups and downs.
Remember, this is all in fun and isn't intended to hurt anyone's feelings!

 
If you would like to support this website - that's easy!
Just smile at someone, pat a dog, hug your spouse, help a neighbor, help a stranger, get involved in something worthwhile,
but remember, EVERY DAY, you need to share a laugh with a friend!!!  You can make a difference - START NOW!!!!!!!!
 

If you enjoyed what you read (or thought about), please let us know at BC-Chronicles@hotmail.com!
 
God Bless You.

Save a Life!!!
 
and
 
Rescue a BC!
