Happy Gotcha Day, Kate!!

Wow, has it been three years? Yup! Little Kater Tot sat stock still and confused as hell exactly 3 years ago today as we drove the 3.5 hour ride home. Bella completely ignored the fact that there was a strange dog in the car and things have remained largely the same ever since! :-)

One of the grandest things about having an Un Border Collie is that, unlike their close cousin, the Real Border Collie, UBC's are easily fooled. Kate is thrilled to get anything called a "present" even if said present is...

The same kibble you eat everyday

The same toy that's been lying around for months

And a "cake" is what ever is pointed in the direction of your mouth

(even if by "cake" I mean whatever dessert-y type thing is in the freezer that won't cause assplosions)

Now, Kate doesn't work stock or participate in agility or flyball, she's not great at tricks or a particularly fast learner, but she is one hell of a dog. A purer soul you have not met. She is the definitive "good dog." I am thrilled that Bella and I have had the opportunity to help her along with her confidence issues. She has come a long way in three years. The most important lesson she is has learned is that, now, someone always has her back.
