23. I got my border collie a little over ten years ago

She was an adult, the shelter people said she was probably around 2-3, so she's now a "beautiful old lady". She's such a good dog, I don't know what I'll do without her.

I adopted a puppy last summer. I'd been thinking about it as I don't think I could stand being alone after my border collie goes. My neighbor was fostering her and she was 10 weeks old. Something said "THAT DOG" so I got her, and am glad I did. My collie generally is indifferent to other dogs, but within a couple days, the new little mutt had her playing and running all around with her.

I still don't know how I'll stand the loss of the collie, but I'm glad she's having fun with the pup
