Have thought about you and Bonnie often today Ted. She looked lovely and fit, very happy in your pack!

Losing them is hard going. 

Aye indeed but her welfare and not my feelings had to come first. Hard though it is.The end was peaceful and dignified, I'd like to think she was thanking me, her eyes said she was.

They do say the eyes don't lie, I think you will be right.

Yes that Collie was a smart dog in more ways than one, its mother was a good working dog on a hill farm up east Lancs where i worked now n then, when i went to the mother in laws the collie would be going round n round in the back of the van as the mother in law had a fair lot of chickens n ducks and smoke would be up n down the field with them all day,

Smoke and Dusk are great names for them. My Uncle had good working sheepdogs called Mist, Murk and Sleet. Murk was a champion trial dog, as a teenager I got the pick of her litter for my first sheepdog.
