Thomas
I grew up watching Lassie and Timmy on TV. I always wanted a collie after that and in 2002 I found a puppy who had a detached retina and no one wanted him. I took him and we soon became best friends. We had some trouble with seperation when I went to work which led me to adopt a kitten from spca. Thomas and Angel were best buds and my plants and furniture were left alone.
When I started thinking of marriage I told my now husband he had to pass the Collie test and since we are now married he passed with flying colors.
We moved from centeral california to centeral oregon. Thomas loved to run and play in the snow and meet new people. He was so gentle and kind. Then in November 2011 he got sick and I took him to the doctor. While he was in surgery for his teeth his lungs stopped working. The vet spent an hour trying to bring him back, but nothing worked.
My beloved Thomas was gone. The vet said he had cancer. My only comfort was knowing he went in his sleep and didn’t suffer. There will never be another collie like him. We still have 2 other dogs and I want to wait until I can look at Thomas’ picture and not cry. I will never forget him and He will always be a part of me.
I know he is in Heaven waiting for me, so I will see him again. REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND AND GOOD NIGHT.
Matthew
MATTHEW is a sweet, 8 year old Sable male that fell on hard times. The son put his dad in a nursing home so the daughter of the 90+ year old owner took her mom back to California for a visit before sending her home to Argentina….leaving Matthew tied up
outside with the neighbor feeding him and taking him for the occasional walk!
Mattie (Matthew is just SO formal! <g>) is housebroken, current on shots, just neutered, loves kids, obviously does well with older folks and a little confused by the cat. He will sit and stare at the cat, then start to bark at her, never tries to chase her, but just can’t quite
figure her out. He likes to be as close to me at all times as he can be. Mattie is no slouch though, he and my 2 year old “pup” race around the backyard playing tag and herding each other whenever they get outside. If you have room for a really sweet gentleman, take a look at Matthew!
