We think Paddy is about 9 years old, when my son and his wife got him from a rescue centre 8 years ago they wern`t sure of his age but he looked about one year old to us. He is a Border Collie x but what with is debateable, one clue is that he isn`t near as big as a full collie. But whatever, it doesn`t matter cos he is one cute dog!:)
They do have a few problems with him though, the worst one being his fear of loud noise, or to be more precise, bangs. This time of year with Halloween and Bonfire night coming up, is a nightmare time for him! One night of fireworks each would be bad enough, but no, it is the stupid kids who are letting off `bangers`day and night that make it worse:mad: I heard the first one two weeks ago and now the time is coming closer it is accelarating, every afternoon and night and would you believe I heard some at 9.15 this morning! Luckily for me my Bob is not bothered at all, I just have make sure I look out for him when he is let out at night cos if they threw one he would be sure to catch it and I dread to think what damage that could cause...oh, oh, I am turning this into a rant :o Sorry...
Hope you all like the pictures of Paddy, he really is a sweet cute dog. :)

What a sweetie. Billy and Shawna are both scared to death of thunderstorms, so I can definitely relate. Thanks for sharing, your son and his wife are lucky people.

Lolly also has severe thunderstorm (and other loud noise) anxiety. Hers is because her previous owner shot at the dogs with his gun :(

Paddy is verrrrrry cute. I just love Border Collies. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Paddy is so adorable:D

Huney is afraid of loud noises too. Sometimes the TV even scares her, but fireworks, she is terrified of them.
