    Growing up, we had a neighbor who owned a small Border collie who was the smartest dog we had ever met! Tasha was trained & well behaved, and would come over to our house every weekday while her owner was at work. She would arrive at 8:30am, and always seemed to know when it was 5pm! She was such an intelligent animal! She first started coming over to see our dogs and kids when they were younger, and continued doing so for about 15 years. She was such a fixture in our house, that most people thought she was our dog! In fact, Tasha once got accidentally locked in my parents house when they took me out to the west coast for a college tour (fortunately my grandmother had a key to the house to let the dog out!) Tasha died at age 17, and is still fondly remembered by my siblings after almost 45 years. I’ve always loved Border Collie’s because of that dog! 😊

    My mom had a neighbor dog like this. They moved in and the first night my mom got up to go to the bathroom at 3am and there was a big golden lab lying on the foot of the bed. Miss Maya would come over daily. My mom’s partner was on oxygen lines so the back door wasn’t fully shut.
    Sometimes mom would come home and Maya was on the sofa waiting for her. When my mom was done with a visits she would give Maya a treat and she would head home next door. My mom was older so it was like grandma time - all the joy and mom of the work. She died right before my mom did. ❤️

      My parents had a dog like that. She would go out of the house, go all the way around the block to another house which was actually on the same street as them. She never took the direct route to the end of the block though. Then she'd come back home. Sometimes the people in the other house would call my mom and ask if Shannon could come over, so my mom would let her out and off she'd go to spend time with her 'other' family. Only thing bad about it was the other family got the benefits of a nice dog, but none of the expenses.

    I laughed through the entire video. Oliver just saunters around, like he’s a distinguished old man. He’s such a gentle soul. I’m glad he gets the reception he gets from the people he visits. I guess his visits are like clockwork. If I lived wherever Oliver lives, he’d be a very welcomed guest in my house.

    I once had a neighbor's cat like Oliver. Used to come visit whenever he wanted, sometimes decided to stay overnight, and I'd call his mom so she wouldn't worry. He used to yell-meow loudly at our front door when he wanted to come in. And if he wasn't ready to leave yet after a visit, he wouldn't budge. You could keep the front door open all you want, but he'd just yawn, curl up in a comfy chair and say, "Nope, not leaving." He also brought us a Christmas present of a dead mouse. Dropped it on our door mat on Christmas morning. Miss you, Lambie!

      My mom told me a story like that. Our neighborhood used to have a cross-eyed siamese cat and he'd wander around and invite himself into the houses. He was a huge sweetheart too. I never got to meet him, since he died a very long time ago, but all the stories about him are soo cute. Animals know they're all that and can get whatever they want loll

      What a lovely story Lo Re 😍 Recently a young black cat walked in thru my front door, jumped on the sofa + curled up. He snuggled in my arms for a very deep😴 sleep for an hour. He inspected the kitchen when he woke and left thru the open front door. Never seen him since. l guess l just provided a quiet safe sanctuary at a time of need. Praying he came to no harm🙏
      l miss him and l only met him once.
      Know how you feel about Lambie 🐈🐾

      all the dogs in my great grandma's village in Italy were like this. if they were friendly, they'd wander into a friend's backyard and hang out there for a couple hours. in the daytime the dogs all nap together in the shade.
