shadow- well me, my mom and my brother were in west bank one summer, when my naighbors(and still good family friends even though we have not benn naighbores anymore for years now) anyway she was found wandering the allie, but she was soooooo small when she was found that my naighbor could not keep her, as they had 8 large breed dogs, and 20 cats(they later rehomed most of the animals with relatives, since they could no longer handle that many) so shadow was given to my dad, since he knew we had been looking for a dog anyway.

happy-I had been wanting my own dog since I was 8, I was told when I was older, so at 13 I wanted that dog now. I started researching breeds, and looking at the shelter, etc.. now at first I wanted wither a sky terrier, a silkie terrier, or a cavaleir king charles spanial. then I almost adopted a german short haired pointer, but he was gone by the time we got there with shadow. so we kept searching, while my mom was looking at ads at western feeds, she saw an add for border collies, so my mom went to the bank took out the right amount of money, and told me when I got home from school what she found and took me that night after dancing, we drove all the way to keystown, and found the kennel, then I got to see the puppys, happy crawled on my lap right away, and her sister punch came to play, happy just wanted to cuddle, and was very submissive, I fell in love with happy, and begged my mom, she finally agreed and all the papers and garentees were typed up and printed for us, along with a large bag of food, etc.. and happy came home with me(she still crawls on my lap now like that now )

perky-well after happy started flyball my mom wanted a flyball dog of her own, so she went to the shelter and fell in love with perky, we brought shadow and happy to see her, and home she came(she bite me the day we brought her home, so we were not on good terms from the start lol)

Ripley- well my mom hated seeing perky always bein gcarried around so she went to the shelter and found Ripley, she called my dad at work and my dad ordered her to take Ripley that instant, he is now the flyball dog not perky lol.

misty- my mom decided that I needed another dog, so she started looking, and found misty also at western feeds, she called and we came to see them fell in love with misty and put a deposit on her until she was old enugh to leave her mom.
