Blogging is a Border Terrier tradition in our household. First came my predecessor, Rolo, otherwise known as the Boss, whose successful blog led to his own magazine column and then his books. I followed on with my own blog, inheriting the magazine column after the Boss's passing three years ago. This has all been fine until I acquired my apprentice, Bear, over a year ago now. Like all good beginners, she was started with chubby crayons and her ABCs, but has had her own Twitter account from the outset, in another fine Border Terrier tradition. Anyway, she has now started pestering for her own blog, and as I know from hard experience, she can be very persistent. 'Her Indoors' has put her foot down and has insisted we share, so hence the new blog, Borders bark back, to allow both of us equal access to our own platform for barking back at the world. 'Her Indoors' has retained the right to blog occasionally in her own right too, although I can't imagine that'll be very exciting, but Bear will also be allowed occasional access to the keyboard if she is a good girl, so she won't be writing very often! Anything for a quiet life...
