SOX (dob 15.11.94)
SADLY DIED 02.10.05 (age nearly 11yr old)
Still really sadly missed by myself but mostly my husband whose dog it was. You could not have had a more loyal affectionate and very protective dog. Border collie's have always been my husbands favorite dogs and I can see why now. A very gentle dog but at the same time a very dominate dog. He would always make sure he was the top dog upon meeting other dogs just by the manner he presented himself to them.
His favorite things: His favorite toy was the frisbee. Jumping anything, he could clear 7ft vertical walls with pretty much ease. Vole hunting: he could find these with ease in wide open fields. Geese chasing: He could always hear these from miles away and would chase them when the flew overhead. His master, my husband. Definitely a one person dog if ever I've seen one. Searching for stones underwater: He could easily locate stone the size of house bricks under 2ft+ of water and retrieve them. His technique was to feel around with his feet then put his full head under to retrieve it. It's something that always amazed us, especially at the length of time he could put his head under the water. Walks, walks and walks.
Sadly he died very suddenly from a heart condition which went unnoticed. To say we were left devastated was an understatement. He was the perfect pet in every respect.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the few photos of him. |
