Ah! Squeeze her for me. We lost our Border Collie, Farm Dog Jake, 7yo,cancer, 6 months ago. He didn’t need any training from 8 weeks old. He just seemed to know. He went everywhere with me. I don’t know if I can do it again. Miss him terribly.
Best dogs ever. She is our third one. Very different having a female BC.
We put our Border Collie down last month. 15 1/2 years - the oldest dog we’ve had. Still willing to play into the last week. But it was obvious he was struggling to hang on. Then it was like his insides collapsed. The vet did the job a couple hours later.
15.5 years of unquestioned devotion. It hurts.
