8. I'm having fun picturing that border collie/aussie mix trying to herd all those other dogs.

That's what those herding breeds do sometimes: try to herd anybody else in the vicinity.

My daughter and I witnessed this phenomenon at Petsmart one day. They run a doggie day care with a big window you can watch the dogs through. There was this one collie (not a border collie, a "Lassie" type rough collie) that was trying to herd the other doggos, and they were all totally ignoring him/her. It was pretty darned funny, although I couldn't help feeling a little sorry for that frustrated collie.
