Virgnia the Helper
So I did a study of her putting-on-boots help. She is always there when I am putting boots on, right in my face, usually standing on one of the boots I will be putting on. My study concludes that although the time putting-on-boots is on average 23 seconds more per boot, that works out to an average of 50% more time per boot, however, the quality of putting-on-boots is greatly improved, on average with a) 700% more love and b) 350% more hugs. In conclusion, I think the numbers speak for themselves. Virginia is extremely helpful with putting-on-boots and other household tasks!  |

| Great helper! |
| Yes, I find sheepdogs are big helps around the house in the very same manner. No doubt she is holding the boot for you so it doesn't run away. Kisses as you lean over are just wiping away any sweat that may develop from the exertion of putting on boots. No doubt you've discovered sheepdogs are excellent in keeping you from developing a shuffle walk around the house as they plant themselves directly in front forcing you to step high. Indeed each has their own area of expertise. Virginia is a boot dog, sweat licker and pillow fluffer. Kensie is the official reflection chaser and food testing dog, requiring a taste of everything least it falls below excellent standards. Breakfast smoothies, lunch soup passed the test today, veggies for dinner to come. Any problem and she'll spit them out quickly. |

Good job Virginia!  Tiggy is a great help in the putting on of footwear department too. As you may have read recently Miss Beady Eyes can spot a poisonous redback spider from a distance and she is not afraid. Redback spiders are are quite fond of crawling into shoes and boots and nipping any feet that try and take up shared residence. It is quite a common occurrence here in Aus and happened to DH's Mom years ago. Her leg was not a pretty sight for months afterwards.  In order to ensure the safety of her humans Tiggy does not stand on shoes and/or boots prior to them being put on. Oh no, she goes the whole way and is willing to take a bullet, I mean a bite, for her people. To this end she snatches said shoes up in her mouth and shakes them while running about the house in order to cause any sneaky spiders to fall out of said shoe at which point she can squash them flat with a big fluffy paw. I have not actually witnessed any spiders falling out of my footwear, YET! But Tiggy knows that it is only a matter of time before she sees action and is forced to risk life and limb and squash a spidey. |
 We salute Tiggy's bravery!! |
| Tiggy is such a good girl and so is Virginia. None of my dogs have an interest in any of the shoes here in the house. We have to shake our own shoes to clear the way of any varmits. |
| Ahhhh Tiggy I would love to watch your antics |
| Yes sounds like she is a great helper with that task! |
