Arrival Story: I'm Orry, (like Orry Main in the TV miniseries "North & South."), and I was born in Joplin, MO. Mom was "Lady" and dad was "Wild Crusader." My breeders called me Woody, then Oreo, before mom christened me as Orry. My human mom saw my picture online and fell in love cause she admired my soulful, poetic eyes and my colors. Said I reminded 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 we moved to our new home in the country on a wildlife habitat/refuge.
Bio: Autumn is here!!! Now I can stay outside more because it only gets up to 70F during the day and the nights are chilly. That's so neat! We all love it cold in this family! Mom bought the DVD "Marley & Me" and I watched it. So THAT'S how dogs are supposed to behave! I has a lot to learn. Mommy lost a tube of roofing cement but I found it. Then Mommy found it all over the living room carpet. (How was I to know it would squirt out of the cartridge all over the place? It was all over me, too. ) Mom spent the night cleaning me and the carpet with mechanic's hand soap. Then Mommy planted trees for me to pee on in the backyard but I thought she lost her fetch-sticks and returned them to her. (She just planted an October Glory maple and a European purple beech but I left 'em alone....so far.) ~
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 last year displaying my talent for eating. I'm good at eating but only if mom persuades me by adding Cheerios to my kibble. ~
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!
