Warning!: If you see Buddy's pictures, and videos and think you mite want to adopt one, please think it through! Border Collies take ALOT of work. Buddy gets around 4 hours of outside time (and hes only part Border Collie!) each day. With out this exersize, Buddy gets destuctive. Eating, shredding,paper, Running wild through the house, digging hole, biting, nipping, and all sorts of bad behavoirs. Please don't asume that just because we are easily trained means we are easy to own!!
Its' been 3 years, Buddy! Wow, I remember the day I went to look at you like it was yesterday. I remember leaving the house, shaking with excitment. When we finally got there, I dove from the car and ran inside the small rescue. It was a nice place. The lobby was a small room with things like collars, dog bowls, dog treats and food for sale all around. I went up to the counter and said I was here to look at a dog, his name is Buddy. She new at once I was talking about you. Obvously you'd left your immpresion on her, too. The lady led us to a back room that had comfy chairs and lots of toys in it. She told us we could wait there while she got Buddy. I was so excited! You came in the room with your tale going fifty miles an hour, and ran right up to me. You sat at my feet and looked at me with your huge brown eyes that simply melted my heart. I knew right there that you had me rapped around your paws. I sat on the floor and you covered me in doggy kisses. Your tail smacking the wall, sounding much like a jack hammer.
I went home that night with a plan in my head. I had to convince my mom that you were the right dog for us. I spent the next week or so oogling at you picture on petfinder. You were so beutiful, even though your picture was blurry. On a Friday, I got home from school and walked up our long country driveway. When I got inside my mom said she wanted to have a "talk" with me. I said "Oh, boy..." and sat down. she said she wanted to talk about me getting a dog..thats you, Buddy.. Mom said "OK I've had alot of time to think this over, and I believe that Buddy is a good match for our family. We are going to drive down tonight and pick him up. I was so happy that I busted out in tears, Buddy. I met you all of one time, and I already loved you so much.
That night I remember the car ride being way longer than it was the first time. It felt like we were driving to the center of the Earth or something!
When we finally made our way to the shelter I just could not contain myself any more. I again dove fro the car and into the building. I proudly told the lady at the desk that I was here to adopt Buddy. She went to go get him while my mom filled out paperwork. When you came out, you were so full of excitment! I didn't think it was possible for anyone to be more excited than I was, but you were Buddy. The lady held you while I tried to put your new collar on, but you kept rolling all over the floor asking for a belly rub..making it very hard to get a collar on you. Silly Boy!
Once your collar was on, I took you outside to run around and pee before the long car ride back home. You dragged me out of the rescue like someone had goosed you. When my mom was done with all the paperwork we all piled into our red Chevy, Blazer and started the ride home. You sat next to me in the back seat, and I got a good wiff of your "purfume." Wow, you smelled really bad, I mean REALLY bad. So, we decided to crack the windows, and you decided you wanted to climb out the sun roof!
When we got home, it was really late, so I gave you some dinner, a quike bath, and brushed out your matted fur. Yikes, it was a mess. I got your hair smelling nice, and we headed upstairs for the night. You were pretty confused as you'd never been in a house before. Yet you never had and accident. Somehow you just knew to bark at the door, and I would let you out. Smartie pants.....
That night, we fell asleep on the floor together. Its been the same eversince. Except you come up on my little twin bed now. Yeah.. all seventy - five pounds of, ya!
Three years later, and were still best friends. Its like having a gaint black and while, slobbering magnet stuck to your leg. I couldn't have asked for more, Buddy. Everyday people say that your so lucky to have me. No, its the other way around. I'm lucky to have you. You make my world complete. Your the sugar in my coffie, the milk in my cearal, your the fireworks on fourth of July, the cheese on my cracker, the cream in an Oreo. Without you life would be boring. Could you imagine having a fourth of July party without fireworks? Eating a creamless oreo? And, lets be honest crackers are great but without cheese its just a cracker, when you have cheese and crackers its almost like a meal! Without you, Bud, life would not be worth living in life. You give me a reason, little man. I love you!
I can't wait to spent many more years with you. Happy seventh birthday!
Love,
Mom

I love the way your always eager to learn new things. I love the way you smell in the sunshine. I love how you follew me around everywere, even though I get embarrased about you watching me in the bathroom. I love the way you lay in the bathroom while I shower, and cram your head in the curtain to check on me. I love how you have wild unruly curly ear hair. I love how you let me hold you in my lap and cuddle with you. I love the way you lokk at me with you lovely bid brown eyes. I love the way you lilt you head at me when I say "Walk?" Buddy, I love everything about you!
