I have a lovely old Border Collie. He never slobbers, but now he's old he's sometimes incontinent - but I seem to manage that better than slobber. He's nearly blind, almost deaf, arthritic, loyal and loving. I dread the day which will come.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
My poor Bran is a bit like that. We had an episode of vestibular disease a couple of months ago and I thought she'd had it but she's like a tank. She just trundles on bless her. She puts up with all sorts of nonsense from the young un. Patience of a saint.
I'm really not looking forward to that day either.
We had Logan until he was 16, he couldn't see,he couldn't stand without help and help with walking.Help him outside to toilet and come back in.It got to the stage when he couldn't do that,so we knew that it was time.

Next door has just got an adorable little spaniel puppy. My cats noses are going to be put right out of joint :-)
Here's my old Tigger. The vet says he has cancer and a weak heart. He's 13. I've probably said that before.
Busy Lizzie Despite his ailments Tigger is still a lovely looking old chap. I also have an old border collie called Brin who is 15.

Hell's Nell is here!!!
Five year old border collie who is in charge of my mother! Interesting dynamic as my mum thinks she's in charge!
Her motto in life is "I'll sleep when I'm dead"!
It all started off really well!!!
And then they ganged up!
