I am sorry for your loss. This piece will help. And has there ever been a dog so balanced and human as a border collie mix? I’d say maybe, of course. I’ve known many and have different favorites... But I bet Nick could light up the sourest face in a room. Rest in Peace for now and see you on the other side buddy!
One can never read Blemie’s Last Will & Testament too often. We took his advice and followed our wonderful Bo with a new puppy. Someday Sumo will grow up to become a wonderful dog. Even at 15 weeks, the signs are there. He loves us and we love him back. His antics make us laugh and his silliness makes us smile and his head is covered in the softest fur imaginable.
We chose a similar breed with the exact opposite coloration. He can follow Bo, but not replace him. I intend to live the next decade in complete denial of the terrible shortness of a dog’s life. I know that when we die, all the dogs will be waiting for us.
Now I have to go and rescue the cat from the new pup! Don’t blame the puppy, though. That cat enjoys being chased and goes out of her way to provoke it.
