Texas Heeler
Intelligent. driven. Yours.
Your Texas Heeler is staring at you with one blue eye and one brown eye, and you can practically hear the gears turning, they're calculating whether you're about to go outside, grab the leash, pick up a ball, or do literally anything worth supervising. Because that's what you've got: a ranch foreman trapped in a forty-pound merle body who has decided that you, your family, your other pets, and possibly the neighborhood squirrels all need to be organized.
