LabLover--

I think Karen's right: Sadie is the one who deserves all your love, attention, and effort right now.

Plus, think of this...You're about 11 years old, and while you're in school all day Sadie is probably content to hang out and snooze at home, just waiting for you. What would a Border Collie be doing during your school time? Most likely tearing stuff up, inventing "games" for its own amusement that your family would not find amusing, and slowly going insane. Would there be someone with the dog to work, play with, and train it when you aren't home? BCs really do NEED that!
