What's not to love about this little face?
Although we did a great deal of shopping for dog stuff at the dog show, I find it pretty easy not to shop for DOGS at a dog show. We already have enough dogs. Each of our dogs either has, or currently HAD a job. (we do have some free-loaders enjoying retirement in the air conditioning, but I'm not gonna point fingers or anything!) So I was pretty immune to the sea of adorable faces in need of a Forever Home, until I saw this . . .
Please understand, I am a product of the Lassie Generation. I LOVE these dogs. I have always wanted one of these dogs. (Just like this one!) When I bought my first Belgian Tervuren in 1990, it was a toss-up whether or not I should get a Belgian or try to find a Rough Collie with working drive. I went with the Belgians, but there is still a fondness in my heart, ney! my SOUL for the Rough Collie. So I saw this young dog . . .
And if there was, Other Half was powerless to prevent it. (much like I was powerless to prevent him from bringing Cowboy home . . . ) A dog like this deserves to be someone's primary dog. I don't even have a job for him at my house. So I took his picture . . . I didn't touch him. But even now, looking at his picture, he touches me.
