My parent's had a Collie when I was first born named Boots. I didn't really know him. But from stories he was a really great dog. When I was around 4 or 5 years old we had two dogs named Bear and Sandy. Bear was a Old English Sheep dog mix I believe and Sandy was a little mutt I'm not forsure what mix he was. They were both very great dogs. Sandy was my best friend he use to follow me around everywhere. Sandy died when I was about 13 or 14 years old of old age. And Bear I'm not forsure my parents didn't tell me. I had dogs all my life and I'm so happy we did. I loved them all. The one I remember the most is Boo he was a Black Chow. He died a couple years after I left home. I miss him so much. I wish I could have taken him with me when I moved out of my parent's house.
