Welcome REMEDY!

In early February we expanded our family by adopting Remedy from the Denver Dumb Friends League. They didn't know much about her, but she was about 1 1/2 years old and is a Border Collie. According to what we have read about Border Collies, we think she is pure bred. Since Border Collies were/are bred as working dogs, not as much attention was paid to trying to get them to have all the same physical features. Some are short-haired; some are long-haired. They can be brown and black and white. She is very smart and loves to learn! She was already house trained and knew how to sit and stay. Both of us are having a blast with her. Here are some pictures of us from February 08 to April 08. Beware, we are very proud dog owners and think we have the best dog in the world. :)





She loves to chase and retrieve her ball and frisbee.



Her first bath at "The Wag Shop."



This picture is for my Mom. When we first got Remedy, my mom wasn't sure what a Border Collie looked like and how big they are (Remedy weighs about 40 lbs). She asked if it was a lap dog. Sure Mom, she's a lap dog. See? :)



Remedy LOVES the snow and is a great dog to have in the mountains.

Short hike/geocache trip in Evergreen









Last weekend we did the Royal Arch hike in Boulder and as usual this dog just shows us up! She has so much energy and keeps going and going.
