 I am not sure if this picture meets the challenge. Those of you who know dogs probably know that the notion of a "bored" Border is an absurd idea, but we are judging pics, not words.
Will see how it goes....

Sorry I didn’t get to comment. I had a border collie and can relate! Love the picture. He’s a beauty.

Hahahahaha!!

I totally love the concept and the feel of this for the challenge topic!!

Perfection.

For the reality of it, I’d rather have the arm coming from way to the left... where the arm and paw would be... naturally.

Yet still... I love this. Well done!!!

So funny, the human arm is a great idea. Looks almost natural.
