I got an iPad finally so after two years I have reliable access to the web, lol! It's still kind of difficult for various reasons too lame and personal to go into here. But I think I'll try to check in here again now. I'm going to start having some interesting adventures and I want to share.
:) I think some of y'all know I trained my youngest Border Collie Sam to be a medical assistance dog for me. Training Sam has also dragged me kicking and screaming back into real life again, which was of course kind of the point. However, as I mentioned somewhere else, I'm finding Sam is not able to do the physical work I need. So I'm preparing to start from scratch with a new dog, whom I'm hoping to adopt from Malinois Rescue. I dont have a specific dog in mind yet though one has just recently caught my eye. I've been volunteering with them for a year now, just learning about the breed what i can. We only have five dogs now, by the way (two in their teens), and the sheep are gone temporarily, until my health stabilizes. So my siggie is a bit out of date but at the moment I haven't time to fix it. We have Lu (Maremma 14 yrs), Gus (BC 13 yrs), Ted (BC 7 yrs), Jetta (Terrier/sheltieX 4 yrs), and Sam (BC 3 yrs). And a kitten named Caroline and a few chickens.
