Hi Sarah-
Just wanted to say thanks for the many years of wonderful companionship we had with one of the dogs we adopted from your Rescue. We took "Flash" from you on a rainy day in Va. about 11 years ago at a sheep trial event. he was a stray- not used to people, kind of aloof at the time, had no recall, and really had the weirdest saliva a dog could have (?)- all of those things changed over the years and we also learned that what Pete, as he was renamed, really wanted was a small dog to care for. He had a few (my daughter's dogs who stayed with us for a time) and another dog we got from you, "Snaggle" ( a sweet border terrier renamed Frank sent to you from a shelter in NC) three years ago.. he really loved Frank and Frank loved him.
All around Pete was a wonderful, wonderful border collie and great friend. Sadly, Pete died about a month ago at the age of either 16 or 17- liver tumor and loss of movement due to either cancer and/ or arthritis. We made a very difficult decision to put him down in October after he able longer to metabolize any food or get up on his own. Our vet was great and really helped him through a tough old age for quite a while. We are still mourning his loss, but we know he had a great life and we had a great life with him- he was such a wonderful part of out family- can not imagine him not being a part of it.
