Pretty spry but getting incontinent and lame. A pup is such a job.....and yet, I can't really imagine not having a BC. i love our Gil, but he sure isn't like one.<br /><br />Linda, Sadly, I have looked into adopting a rescue dog several times. Thought an older dog, even maybe one with problems would work out great for me and not so bad for the dog either. Unfortunately the requirements are ridiculous. I could adopt a human baby more easily. Home visits, fenced acreage, etc. etc, etc. Plus they charge as much as for a half trained working dog of excellent parentage. It is no wonder they don't find many homes! Kinda ticks me off because we are real dog people and a dog would have a good home here. Oh, well...bTW, Fuzzy is pip! I love him from afar.<br /><br />Jeffro, boy oh boy, if you don't give them work they will give it to you! We always had work for ours. Sometimes they were a hindrance and sometimes they were an amazing help, but they were always fun!threecolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811004278088768813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-62358195760741974162012-12-06T23:49:28.198-05:002012-12-06T23:49:28.198-05:00I love Border Collies, but never got one just for ...I love Border Collies, but never got one just for that reason - mine would be bored and ill behaved because I couldn't keep it busy.Jeffrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873138122305060834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-88727684259489967352012-12-06T20:15:59.288-05:002012-12-06T20:15:59.288-05:00Would a good shelter dog work?

We have had two excellent cow dogs come through...both results of divorces.<br /><br />I worry about the day Fuzzy can't help anymore...well he really can't now, but he doesn't know it and I'm not telling him. I enjoy his company way too much.<br /><br />Linda<br />http://coloradofarmlife.wordpress.comTerry and Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016496778254072639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-30230669320794061632012-12-06T16:00:55.731-05:002012-12-06T16:00:55.731-05:00We're in the same boat here...to get a pup or ...We're in the same boat here...to get a pup or not....we moved cows to the river this morning and the old pup is coming 13 in the spring and her body just doesn't want to cooperate with what she "thinks" it should do.
