I'm so sorry to hear about Brassy. It's so hard to say goodbye to a dear family member and friend, but at least you know you made her life a very happy one. My thoughts are with you at this sad time. Regards,

Best wishes to you and Sara. It was apparently not her time to go. Good luck and I hope all goes well.

So sorry to hear about Ness. Best wishes to you and your family.

My thoughts and best wishes are with you. Hang in there.

Pat, I'm sorry for your family's loss. Ashe had a wonderful long and full life. Regards,

"Sally" gets my vote! What a cute smile.

Wow! Sorry to hear about the misadventure. I'm so glad that the dogs are okay.

Congratulations on your new addition -- what a cute little guy.

Welcome! Good luck to you with your new BC.

Welcome, Win. The picture of your puppy is adorable. I think that two BC puppies the same age would be rough -- maybe not now while they are cute and tiny, but when they both hit the "teenage" years . . . . A lot of folks on this Board have multiple dogs and my own two BCs are both the same age, but I didn't get them at the same time and so it wasn't a problem. When you do get ready to get a second BC, there actually are a lot of great rescues in the area with a very wide variety of dogs of all ages available. Rescue isn't right for everyone and you are the only one that can decide if that's the route you want to take, but I agree with Mr. Snappy -- it's a myth that rescue dogs all have "problems". Good luck with your new puppy and be sure to post pictures.

I would keep an eye on the spot and if it continues to get redder, appears to spread or develops a crusty surface I would take the dog to the vet.

Sorry to hear about Skye's injury. Wishing her the best of luck with her surgery and a speedy recovery.

Ruth, I'm so sorry about Buzz. He had a good life with you and your family and he left knowing how much he was loved. Best wishes.

Definitely a moment for a smile! (And not silly, at all.) Congratulations to Winston!

Barb, my deepest sympathies. I'm so sorry about poor Fergus. Hang in there. Regards, Deb

Sorry to hear about poor Ness. I had to make a similar decision for a 14 yr. old dog with lung cancer, so I know how you feel. Best wishes to you and Ness.

How nice to get such positive news!!! Way to go, Buzz!!

Very cute pup! I like his ticking, too. Do a search on "puppies" and maybe "training" and you'll find a lot of great information.

Wishing Brass a speedy recovery!

Glad to hear that it was a one-off. Thanks for updating.

Wyoming Border Collie Rescue (soon to be Western Border Collie Rescue) has one that will be available in about 3 weeks. Unfortunately, there aren't any pictures of workin' dogs in the calendar this year (although the rescue does have some that work), it's going to be great.

Rebecca, I'm so sorry to hear about Ben. That is such a sweet picture of him with the liitle lamb. I'm sure this is a difficult time for your family. Hang in there. Best Regards,

This was a tender and touching tribute. The photo is priceless.

I'm so very sorry, Vicki. Hang in there. Regards,

Definitely read the sticky that Alaska posted. I would always use heartworm pills, especially given your location, because the alternative would be awful. I do use them with my dogs. Regards,
