I forgot about our Collie. He was smooth coated. A herded not flock kind. We had him along with some other K9s for a bit over 11 years. He had a genetic nerve disability that on his 11th year he could not get off the floor without help. No cure of it, so as much as it hurt we said good bye. I know he's in a better place. We always have our pets cremated & their ashes alone with their collar are in our bedroom on a shelf. Some folks say we're nuts for not just letting the vet dispose of the body(s). We love our mutts to much for that!Got to say collies are my favorite. Grew up on the farm I presently live and Dad and I always had a collie. Learned with a collie and I loved sleeping with our Shep (original name huh!) He kept e warm and happy. When I am in a position again, a collie will be my ;over
Stay Frosty,
