Blue, the Dog of the Day
Name: Blue
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male Breed: Border Collie, Retriever mix
Home: Richmond, British Columbia, Canada
 
   I had always wanted a dog, especially a puppy so I pleaded for twelve years until the day we went to look at Blue, he definitely stood out being blue and all that night we made the purchase that would change our lives. Blue was our family's first dog - or puppy - and boy was it challenging, but rewarding. With patience and love we were given loyalty and a heart of gold.

    That was almost two years ago and Blue has made himself a permanent member of the family. He has timed our schedule very well and knows when his "daddy" comes home from work and patiently waits at the door every night cocking his head to the side at the slightest sound awaiting his arrival. He dances around the coffee table at least four times at about 4:30 knowing its "doggy park time" then does an extra "warm-up lap" when he sees you have the car keys.

    Being as I am a horse person, Blue comes to the barn with me almost every day and lounges at the all you can eat buffet (what you and I would call the manure pile) and prances around head held high when he finds an old rag. He's a great guy and almost always vibrating, the breeder didn't mention anything about an off button or where the batteries were on him! But I wouldn't trade him for the world.
