David,Thanks. I appreciate your kind words. And your wise ones. I can keep it in perspective when I think about humans who have no jobs, are losing their homes and have to give up pets that are fine because they can't afford them. When mine go, I will take one or two of those pets.

Mine is about as laid back as border collies come. Possibly this is due to being only half border collie--the other half is whatever the wandering dad was...some sort of retriever, we think.

The one we had before was a real herder.David,You are so fortunate to have a border collie. I love them. But I thought they were more energetic than shelties.
They are both old, sick and we will be coming to the horrible time in dog ownership. At which time I will be a total basket case for a couple of weeks.
Those are indeed hard times. Good wishes, David Ritchie,Portland, Oregon------------------------------------------------------------------
