nowwown Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I realized I am a certified BC addict when I just got a new SUV over the holidays and the very first thing I did was put a Border Collie sticker on the side window! My DH thinks I'm nuts to "ruin" the new BMW. I think it just makes it look better! And I have a pretty Border Collie fabric makeup bag. And a cute Border Collie sweatshirt hoodie. Oh, let's not forget about that nice Border Collie t-shirt too. Well, what ways do you "advertise" your love---your addiction-- to BCs?

BustopherJones Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 On my car, I have a "I Love My Border Collie" magnet (a big one, that also shows a photograph of a BC). On my truck, I have my ABCA decal in the rear window, and a large magnet with the head of a BC on it on the tailgate. The wallpaper on my computer at work is a photograph of Annie and Missy (the same one that I use for my avatar), and my screen saver is a collage of photographs of Annie; I also have a BC calendar hanging in my office, and a variety of BC knick-knacks around the office. I wear Border Collie sweatshirts and t-shirts (outside of the office, of course), and also have a Border Collie jacket. I think that people may get the idea that I own a Border Collie.

learning_to_love_BCs Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I have a license plate holder on my car (from Cafepress.com) that has pictures of border collies all around the frame and says Bordercolliemobile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kate40541 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I had a license tag frame made that says "Border Collies Never Quit" It was originally in honor of our old rescue girl who lived so much longer than anyone expected her to but now it means all of them any where they are.

bskeeter Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Wellll. . . in my office I have BC note pads and screensaver as well as these: At home I have two beautiful BC afghans that DH bought me; a purse, coin purse and wallet with BC's on them from Ebay; a cute little ceramic figurine that my grandkids gave me for Christmas this year; another wall calendar in my home office; two BC collectors plates and that's it for now. Yes, I'm addicted too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC-Liz Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Mostly, I wear their hair on my clothes wherever I go. At work my screensaver is pictures of the pups. I have a framed one on my desk as well. Probably the biggest testiment though is simply that I have 3 of them in an itty bitty house.

Barb Scott Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 We each have a vanity plate with our top agility BC's name and a bc related license plate holder on our cars. We also have a mailbox with red and white and black and white BCs painted on it. I have a thermo lunch bag with a split face BC on it. We both have BC t-shirts and sweat shirts. We just found 4 BC valentines at a local store and bought all of them. I have a BC calendar at work and several more at home. Just getting warmed up, but you get the picture!

WyoBC Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 When I bought my surburban the first thing I did was put my WBCR sticker, and my "Proud owner of a rescued Border Collie" sticker on it. My bedroom is pretty much all BC. I have a book case top with a BC clock with a tail that moves side to side, a BC frame, a BC figure, a picture of me, Black Jack, and Jack Knox (that's signed!), a BC calendar, some pictures of black jack, a BC leash hook, and other BC prints. Then I have a WBCR t-shirt, a Dogs Rule t-shirt and I always wear my WBCR hoodie no matter where I go. If I see a Border Collie on something I'll buy it!

sandra s. Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 This is cute . I'd feel uncomfortable advertising any breed since I'm still a shelter mutt person at heart...but otherwise, yes, I'd totally do that (judging by the amount of Oasis t-shirts etc I've accumulated)! We do have a poster for a BC rescue (where Kyla came from) in the window of my mum's office, and flyers for the customers to take home. There's also a sticker from the same BC rescue knocking about somewhere. After reading this, I think I should put that on my car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janet808 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I have a license plate holder on my car (from Cafepress.com) that has pictures of border collies all around the frame and says Bordercolliemobile. I don't have a lot of BC stuff, I can't seem to find shirts, etc. with a BC, that I like well enough as my own Misty. Although, I did do my own calendar on Cafepress.com of just Misty. So, I think what I'm going to do is, pick out some pics of her and make my own t-shirts with her on them. I would love to do the car magnet, but w/ Misty's face. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruger's Dad Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I don't have much Border Collie memorabilia. For me its the hair suits, hair pants, hair shirts, hair coats, hair socks, hair car seats, hair dash, and hair in my food. As much hair that Ruger sheds, I will give away my wifes two cats to the first taker. I will even include a $100 electric cat box. And my first born son.

setsail Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 On my car I have a border collie euro decal, a border collie license plate frame and a "Disc Dog on Board" bumper sticker. My DH has the same euro decal and "The more people I meet, the more I like my border collie" bumper sticker. He really wanted "My border collie is smarter than your honor student" but considering he is a high school teacher he thought that might be a little inappropiate I have a few sweatshirts and t-shirts. I also have a few t-shirts, sweatshirts and a jacket from my disc dog club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayleegator Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 You know you're a BC addict when ... you have a bumper sticker that reads "My border collie can herd your president!" Well, I'd like to have it, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo Peep Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I don't know where to begin. The question is what DON'T I have? I've been collecting for over 20 years. Show me something new and I'll break out the master card. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyler Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I really dont have much of anything store bought to display my love of my BC. I have my office littered with pictures of my current and late BC and my background on my computer at home and work is a pic of Koda. I just take my pup everywhere I can and make special trips just to do so - like our at least weekly trip to get a treat at the pet store. I get a little confused when people always ask me what I did over the weekend at work or whatever. I say, "I did some training in Iaido and Jujutusu during the mornings and spent the rest of the day with my dog." It never changes so Im not sure why they continue to ask Maybe there is an office poll going on that I dont know about waiting for me to say something different.....not gonna happen.

nowwown Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Well I'm relieved to see that I'm not the only BC Addict!
