bc4ever Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 One year ago today, we opened our hearts and home to a sweet senior rough coat collie. Best guess was, he was 10 years old. Returned to the rescue organization after six years, he was woefully underweight and full of mats. Once we got him home, we had him groomed, teeth cleaned and gradually put twelve desperately needed pounds on him. After losing our border collie, Scooter, to a probable brain tumor following an unprovoked attack on me nine months earlier, we both had a few trust issues. But, he quickly proved himself to be a gentle, loving, wise old soul; so much so that he became a certified therapy dog in March. He helped me through a really bad time in my life, and I like to think we gave him a second chance at a good and loving home. I treasure whatever time we have with him. Love you, Daniel, my sweet guy. :wub:/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites

juliepoudrier Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Wow, time flies. It hardly seems a year since you got him. I'm glad you found each other; I think the need for peace and healing--and much needed love--have joined the two of you in a special way. J. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
