Very sorry, Kris. She was beautiful in her day. Jan

Ha! I'm Janet Elliott. I imagine our paths will cross in person eventually, perhaps at Fido's.

A poster to these boards has a border collie who is about to turn 17, and she swears that the secret is Frisbees!

I'm very sorry, Bill. Lad was a fine dog.

Welcome aboard! I hope you soon find the right dog to partner up with. That dog will be very fortunate!

I'm very sorry for your loss. His wonderful, border-collie personality shines through in your pictures.

Made me cry again. So very sorry.

Glad to hear she's doing so well!

Happy New Year to you all! Kelso's story always warms my heart.

Scotch is a very handsome dog, whether or not he's 100% border collie or has some Aussie or whatnot mixed in. Best wishes for a long and happy partnership!

Wonderful! So well deserved. Eileen has done so much for our beloved breed.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I'm sure I'll be there soon with 14-year-old Daisy. I think you can trust yourself. One can never perfectly predict outcomes. But in a lifespan of 16 years, I believe it's preferable to err on the too early side rather than to be too late. They don't deserve to suffer.

I'm sad to hear there isn't a chance to cross paths with you at a trial going forward. I doubt you recall a brief meeting at Vashon a couple years ago. I liked how you later called that field "technical." A perfect description, among many you've given us over the years. Please don't stop writing us. Your insights and ways of expressing them give us so much pleasure.

I'm very sorry for your loss. You came to the right place to share your memories. Just that wonderful picture of him made me tear up.

That's a trial I'd love to find a way to go to sometime. Thanks for posting!
