My border collie, Mike has passed [View all]

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

While I'm sad and heartbroken, he lived a good full life for 14 years. He was a rescue. I am here to testify that rescue pets make the best pets, ever. He touched the lives of anyone who ever came into contact with him. He kept my retired parents company for his remaining years. He always looked after my Dad, making sure he was safe.

Please, before you buy a puppy or kitten, please check your local animal shelter or rescue agency online. You are quite liable to find a forever friend.
