Likes:
He loves to run. He loves to be chased and loves to dig in the dirt or sand. He is also very affectionate and loves to cuddle to you. And he loves the WATER.

Pet-Peeves:
When big brother gets attention

Favorite Toy:
Orion has really come around with toys lately. When we got him he wasn't interested in them. Now he is the one going to the toy box and pulling out toy after toy. He loves toys with squeakers. And he loves to use toys to get brother to chase after him

Favorite Food:
Anything that is eatable, he likes it all and he will eat it all!

Favorite Walk:
Anywhere that he can run off-leash. It is the only way to tire him out!

Best Tricks:
Sit pretty, shake, a standing balance, and crawl

Arrival Story:
In looking for a brother for Cosmo, we looked online at the Border Collie Rescue Society of Northern California. We saw Orion and fell in love. When we went to make arrangements to visit him on the weekend, another family was ahead of us to see him. So we had to wait for the go ahead phone call. As it turns out, the that family's older dog was too grouchy to get along with Orion, so we got the go ahead to come visit him. We drove 4 hours to Chico, California. Cosmo and Orion hit it off immediately and two hours later we where on our way back home. All we know of his past is that he was a stray picked up in Colusa County. After having him home for 3 days we discovered he had a Horse Tapeworm. We treated it and he has been healthy and happy as ever as can be.

Bio:
Orion is adorable. He is very lovable. Almost too much when he climbs into your lap! He is a great joy to watch when he runs. Everyone who meets him is impressed with his build and shiny coat. We were to him as the "Sport" model or the "Track & Field" model. It's just the type of dog he is.

Forums Motto:
Born to run free
