I'd hate to be around myself without them. :) Border collies - wow! What energy! Kudos to you for rescuing such bundles of joy.

LOL I have three Border Collies (all rescues), and each one has a completely unique personality from the others. Your dogs are all beautiful! Great post!

I have never understood those who willingly destroy that. Mine certainly make my life worth living. (As I write this, my 8 y.o. daughter is frolicking in the living room with Barkley, who outweighs her 3 to 1. Both are blissed out.)<br /><br />Sammy,<br />PopTarts for all, and to all a good night! :) While it's true that Barkley watches TV when we do, he's also been known to go park himself in front of the <i>turned off</i> video monitor and wait patiently for someone to turn it on for him. Evidence suggests that he thinks we are his opposable thumbs. :D<br /><br />I think you're right: both worrying and being happy are decisions. My dogs show me the wisdom of living in the moment and choosing contentment over fear.<br /><br />Following da way...Ami Hendricksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16113842141579251283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13639087.post-70092307766973583762011-12-18T10:02:38.628-05:002011-12-18T10:02:38.628-05:00Barkley watches TV because you do. he is part of ...Barkley watches TV because you do. he is part of the pack. we can learn a bunch from a zen dog; that the world gives us many opportunities to practice serenity: why get worked up when a nap will do the trick? why worry about profound misery when the decision to be happy is just as easy to make? <br /><br />we can make the observation that the Universe sent you Barkley to show you the way to happiness, and i think that he is doing a very good job of that. i am grateful for him, and grateful for you that he is showing you da way.<br /><br />may the Spirit of the Great Pop Tart permeate your Holiday Season. <br /><br />i tweet at @Samuel_ClemonsSamuel_Clemonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10186197312073797483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13639087.post-74048188351239583992011-12-16T10:01:20.330-05:002011-12-16T10:01:20.330-05:00LOVE your dogs.

My two chihuaha's were rescued from my mother's neighbors who were going to drown them (yes, yes they were) and my Bella, was the neighborhood stray who everyone fed until I got fed up with no one actually inviting her in.<br /><br />Can't imagine my life without them.Anne Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816355522284492131noreply@blogger.com
