Ever since I met my first Border Collie over 40 years ago, I have felt that they are very special creatures. I love dogs, but collies touch a secret corner of my soul. They are so individualistic and nutty and inclined to mad adventure, that I can't resist any of them. When I think of dogs, I see a border collie in my mind's eye: drooping ear - flashing eyes - black and white nose - death defying tail and all. The links below lead to various tales recalling some of the adventures we had with the three dogs that shared their lives with ours.
