Here's another Border Collie story for you:Awww Nemo, my Grace also shared those lines. And I still have her papers too. There is something special about borders. Will you get another? I love your line about him getting tired-will use that in my future home visits with potential adopters!
When my late wife and I lived in B.C. we were on a hill where the driveway sloped down to the house - one time we were both in the front garden working, and Zak, as Borders are wont to do, was frantically looking for a 'toy'......offhandedly, (and without pointing), I said to him "I saw a ball behind the big rock at the top of the drive".
He immediately turned around, walked up the drive, went behind the rock and retrieved the ball - we were agape.
Will I get another? Doubtful. I turned 69 in September, my lady & I live in a small condo townhouse and just about the only place in town where dogs can run is the fenced dog park.......society is becoming more and more paranoid, and I swear it won't be long before 'they' demand that kids wear helmets while watching TV.
There's also another factor, I hope I wouldn't do it but I've seen it happen.......people have had "That ONE dog" and subsequent animals don't live up to expectations and the next dog just doesn't get the attention it deserves.
