We all know where we were tomorrow 5 years ago. Some of us have the border collies in our life to thank for the comfort we needed that day. I'll share my story with the list and maybe others want to as well. Traveling thousands of miles cross country on a trek to the finals I was experiencing the west with my dogs, Meg n Charm n suzie, for the first time. No TV, very little radio and infrequent cell service kept me in a wonderland. Somewhere in Utah, on my way to Idaho I stopped for lunch and a bike ride to exercise my gals. A call to my KY connection, Gina, brought me back to reality. Will the economy collapse before I get home? War? No fuel? Which way do I turn? West or East? A quick call to the couple I was going to visit... a couple I had met only two days before at Meeker..and I headed west. I found at their home all the comfort, support and assurance that you would expect from your closest friend or family. This from someone I had just met!! Border Collie people. Memories were made there and on from there. I am forever grateful to them for the support they gave me for without them I would have turned back .....

Another congrats for job well done...and I don't just mean the trial results mentioned above. Your continued efforts and increased successes prove your improved understanding of "what makes the bordercollie tick"! Keep up the good work.

Way late on this post but my diagnosis would have been selinium deficency ...wonder what came of the post mortem??? melinda

Thank you for sharing your day with us all. and may God bless you and yours.m.

Please don't overlook "The Farmers' Dog" , John Holmes. This book spends a great deal of time explaining how and why the Border Collie thinks. This info will carry thru your training from trianing the pet BC to the top of the line trial dog.

Visit Jeanne and you won't be disappointed. How far you drive to get correct information will not be a factor when you get home and put it to practice.
