Happy to return to post...
I had for so long been unable to post messages as my Mother had passed away following a long illness. It is good to be able to return and see that others have joined the thread on Aussies and Border Collies. My one old girl Kate is now close to 16 and although she is slow and has a hard time seeing she still walks with me each morning out to feed the horses and check on the cattle. I now find myself looking after her for all the times she has looked after me. I know she misses herding the stock and playing in the fields, but I know she still enjoys sitting on the porch and sharing breakfast with me. I enjoy the talks about your Aussies and Border Collies they are after all little people in fur coats!!! :p
