I’d LOVE to get a border collie.

We rescued one from the pound. Parents bought a pup for their daughters for Christmas. Gave up the pup New Years.

We took her. Every time I put on a pair of shoes she went for the laces, consequently we named her Lacey.

Fantastic dog. Loved kids, any kid. She'd let them maul her. She was more wary of adults but quickly befriended them.

Smart beyond any other dog I've had. Sometimes I thought she could read my mind.

Being pretty old and inactive we shouldn't have had her but we kept her busy with games.
Have to give them a challenge . Hide and seek, fetch, etc. If they get bored they chew.
She got a blood disease and died a few yrs. ago.

Really miss that dog. She was so much fun.
