Thank you LN ! Me and Mrs. Isaac where talking late last night while at the Vet about how much you love your Taz. It was very unexpected :( Good news I will have a litter of Border Collies born this next spring from my female.
Will be the 6th generation going all the way back to 1979. I think we will keep a female. You are right they do not live long enough. :peace:

If it should be....
 

If it should be that I grow frail and weak,
and pain should keep me from my sleep,
then you must do what must be done,
for we know this last battle can't be won.

You will be sad, I understand,
but don't let grief then stay your hand,
for this day, more than the rest,
your love and friendship must stand the test.

We've had so many happy years,
what is to come can hold no fears.
Would you want me to suffer? So,
when the time comes, please let me go.

Take me where my needs they'll tend,
only stay with me until the end,
and hold me firm and speak to me,
until my eyes no longer see.

It is a kindness that you do to me,
although my tail it's last has waved,
from pain and suffering I have been saved.

Do not grieve, it should be you,
who must decide this thing to do.
We've been so close, we two these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

Rest in peace Rusty!!!!:pray:

I'm sorry for your loss. However at least he passed away happy! 39 litters sounds like quite the life. ;) Well done Rusty!

We will be having a new litter of Border Collie puppies in the early spring. It is time for us to bring on a new pup. It will be our 6th generation starting back in 1979. I will have some pups for sale if anyone is interested in having the #1 breed when it comes to IQ ! We need a female name for our pup ? Any suggestions ?
