Border do-g-ood day

Some of you will already have seen the Blips from Emmy and Grumps on the subject of Canine Compulsive Disorder research being carried out by Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine in the USA. For details please hit the links.

It really is no effort: a quick email, the small amount of paperwork and the DNA saliva swaps arrive by post. Quick swish around in the mouth & send the stuff back in the post (they will even recompense return postage)

Please, please if you have a Border with a pedigree, help out. Not only are you doing this for canine world but also for humans. While Obsessive-compulsive disorder is not the same, in this context, with that which one sometimes sees in autism cases there may be links within this group of disorders. Very often the strangest connections are made - Viagra started life as a potential treatment for high blood pressure.

Luna couldn't take part as she is too young and we don't have a pedigree for her - she was pretty peeved as one can see. Flash's friend "Fly" came by to give him moral support. Flash was great and even demonstrated to the others what he had to do.
