I still miss my rusty. My comment was how I quit dating a guy when he found out I had cats and was horrified. Lol, I guess it wasn’t true love. 😻
I adopted a beautiful tri-colored collie from a breeder the Collie Rescue League in Rhode Island recommended. They came and inspected my house first!
We don’t have much money, but my pets were always fat and sassy and well cared for.
After all that, they told me they didn’t have any available at the time!
*fuming*
About a month later, the breeder got a collie back.
She offered to meet me in Boston with the collie.
So, I met her there and we had dinner, and she was kinda checking me out.
Turns out that this collies owner got herself a boy friend, and he gave her an ultimatum-him or the dog.
She gave up this beautiful girl for HIM???
I would have told him to take a hike!
Anyway...
After dinner, we went to her big SUV, and she opened up the
hatch back, and their stood my beautiful girl!
She was not a “show-quality” collie, but it didn’t matter to me!
It was love at first sight!
The tips of a collies ears are supposed to fall over a little bit.
She had one ear bolt upright and the other
folded over.
It was endearing to me!
She wagged her tail and gave me a kiss!
I was so happy, I and put my arms around the collies neck and cried!
The breeder said “she’s all yours and handed over the leash to me!
I had seven wonder years with Pattie, and she was one of the VERY BEST dogs I have ever owned!
Minette LOVED her, and never once spat at her.
Two snuggle buddies!
