All my beloved canine friends

Over the years I have been blessed with many good friends on the canine persuasion.

Dogs and kids are my favorie people as they are loving and direct.

All my dogs have been rough coat collies or shelties. The wonderful collies were Laddie, Laddie II, Lassie (my constant companion and friend), Hilda (my time in Viet Nam cost me this one).

The Shelties were Buddy (smartest dog ever and constant companion), Brie (the sweetest dog ever) Her royal Highness Princess sweetpea of Rockrimmon (the most regal dog ever) and now Corky.

Corky is still here, The others I still think about and miss. I sincerely hope to see them again.

The old quote "If dogs don't go to Heaven I'm not sure I want to go there" seems apripo.

Miss you guys.
