Arrival Story: My name is Orry (like Orry Main in the TV miniseries "North & South.") and I was born in Joplin, MO. Mom was called "Lady" and dad was "Wild Crusader." My breeders called me Woody, then Oreo, before mom christened me as Orry. Call me whatever you like but call me for dinner, please. I was #5 of a litter of 6 and the last to be 'dopted. Maybe it's 'cause they looked like Lassie and I don't. I look like my pa. Maybe it was 'cause I was the size of a Shetland pony. My human mom saw my picture online and fell in love cause she admired my soulful, poetic eyes and my colors. Said I remined her of Poe's rhymes...whatever that may mean. So she sent a check to my humans in Missouri for my air ticket. (She was living in South Florida then.) I flew from Springfield (Delta employees were kind to me.) just before Thanksgiving and mom, my new mama, met me in Augusta, Georgia where she was then living at La Quinta Inn with two male kitties. This made for interesting times but I LIKE cats & La Quinta liked ME! Almost three weeks later mama moved to our new home in the country where we have our own wildlife habitat.

When I was growing up in Missouri it was my ambition to be a house dog but I couldn't be because momma "Lady" would get jealous and growl. Since I grew up (well, sort of) I've realized my dream. Mom says that when the right doggie comes along we're going to adopt a friend for me. If it's a GIRL I'll be estatic 'cause I love girls. Ohhhh, do I LOVE girls!
I went to the vet !!! She is a very nice lady with soft needles and I was happy to let her give my shots and Avid-chip me. I didn't even protest riding in the car! Mom asked me what Lassie would do and I knew what my duty was and I did it. I got chopped chicken for being good....now how 'bout that?
It's fun living in the country and herding wildlife. Spend time out of doors, weather permitting, but sleep near mama at night. Life is good. My picture was on a board at Times Square this June displaying my talent for eating. I'm good at eating but only if mom persuades me.
If you have a collie like me or perhaps one of the other shepherds or a whippet or silken wind hound, please consider testing them for MDR1 genotype which will tell you and your vet what kind of medications they should have if they are, as three-quarters of us collies are, sensitive to meds. If they are mutant, as am I, the wrong medication could kill them. The test kit is free and sent fast and the processing fee is moderate. For the life of your dog, see http://www.mdr1test.com at Washington State University's website. And don't forget that most of us need heartworm protection as infection via those pesky mosquito is epidemic. Heartworm WILL kill and it's very easy to prevent with a pill every month. Ask your vet what type of preventative works best for the furry light of your life. Thanks and give your furkid a hug. They love ya!
