This House is Going to The Dogs!

Sometimes life takes an unexpected turn. In this case the unexpected turn involved a young, fixed, male Border Collie.

We got a call from some friends who summer here, and they had gotten an email from some friends of theirs who are year residents up here.

So the story goes some people found this poor boy, running wild, no tags, no collar, covered in cow manure. They cleaned him up but already had 4 dogs so they couldn't keep him.

The friends of our friends took him but he was too young and energetic for their 7-8 year old dog so a plea went out to find a home for him. That is where we were contacted. Richard called the people who had him and agreed to pick him up.

He is a bit skittish but has calmed down in the few days we have had him. He is a herding fool and will not come into the house unless he has herded the other 3 dogs onto the porch.

The first night we had him Richard was on the sofa with Morgan and Phantom. Lili came up looking for love. Since she is the queen he cannot deny her some loving.


Phantom has really neat markings, and is a handsome boy,


But not as handsome as Capt. Morgan.


Since we took Phantom in we have been working with him on basic training and have found some friends who are coming up from Louisiana to give him a forever home.
