Hi again,

I hope you guys are not getting from my posts that I'm anti-rescue. I look everyday at petfinder with the hope that I can find the right dog for me. And if I find her, I'll take that step and rescue. But there's a strong possibility that I could get another Smooth Collie from a breeder too. Remember I have Oz already, so it's going to be pretty well impossible for y'all to convince me that Smooth Collies are bad, with examples of bad purebreeds. I know that's a safe choice for me. May not be the right choice for somebody else, but I know they're the right choice for me. I've got a dog that has zero people or dog aggression. That can be left uncrated in the house while I'm at work, without worry of coming home to destruction or potty accidents. That I can let off leash and know he's gonna stick near me and come back when I call. That watches out for me and Murph and lets me know when there's something amiss in the house. Who's up for a good play session or a good ole nap, whichever, he just goes along with whatever I'm doing. So it's very hard for me not to be drawn back to this breed. Hopefully people aren't going to hold that against me if I go that route.

Thanks to y'all who understood what I was trying to say.
