the border collie's story

oh, better give the dog some web exposure...

here's the sob story on :

Fly, female border collie, adopted from Safe Sanctuary near Faribault, MN. thet think she was about 1 year or less when they picked her up from a farm in wisconsin. she got kicked around pretty bad and got thrown against walls by a nasty farmer (hope he kanna langa by car one of these days). so she was skin and bones when I saw here. she was'nt my fist choice incidentally. I was looking for a weimeraner, who was adopted before I got there. but those eyes really got to me, and after considering for a few weeks, I took her home.

vince, then bf/fiance wasn't too keen as he did not have dogs in his life. but Fly survived the 5 day trial at home and vince is gradually warming up to her. though he does not admit it, think he's pretty fond of the dog. so now, vince has 2 "biiiiiaaaatttches" to contend with at home!

she's done very well 1 1/2 years down the road, made lotsa friends, took up frisbee and succeed on drivin vince mad by dropping her hair all over the place and chasing the lure when we cast it during fishing. but really, that's not her fault. she's goofy and not the brightest BC around, but still a poofball of love.
