What a spectacular collie you are, beautiful Beau! I grew up with a collie and can attest to your breed's wonderful and patient temperament with children. My collie never once turned on me, and I was told that I really pushed her buttons when I was a toddler. I'm so sorry to hear of your medical condition, but let us all hope you will be a survivor for many more years to come. Happy DOTD and may you and yours be blessed with longevity and love.
