Piper

It has been a while since I last wrote. Life in Chicago is still a joy! We walk so much that I am always looking for a good snuggle when at home. If Ben and Leah are busy, I find snuggles with my friends, as seen in this photo :) I hope all is well at the rescue! Happy Tails, Piper

Patti Patrice

Patti is doing great here in her forever home. She is a sweet, loving dog and is my constant "shadow." PATTI'S BACKGROUND: Patti and her brother were owned by an older couple prior to coming into rescue. When one of the owners passed away, the wife kept both dogs in a crate for 3 years. It took 4 baths to get them clean. Patti's anxiety levels upon coming into rescue were extremely high so she was started on medication. Through training and a loving home, Patti is enjoying wonderful, active life, thanks to ComeBye Border Collie Rescue. 3/3/09 I knew you would both like to see Patti in action. This was from a make-up class this past Saturday. Please take into consideration that it was Patti's first time off leash in class and that she is almost on no meds. :-) Also, that the heat is not always on in the pole barn so I was layered extensively and look larger than normal! :-( I was messing up a bit with my instruction to Patti, but all in all she still did well. I still have a lot to learn! Patti is doing great. I think she will do just fine off her meds, which will happen in another week. She is a blast with her new found energy on low meds. We are TRULY enjoying her and love her to pieces. I take her for rides on errands when I don't have to be out of the car. She really does well in the car and seems to love coming with me. :-) I hope all is well south and northeast with both of you.

Penny

Zoe is the most gentle, loving dog we've ever had. She loves to have her tummy rubbed! Also, she has only barked about 5 times in the past 4 years! (Amazing for a Border Collie!) Is still developing "loyalty"; we are finally able to let her out in the yard and she-- for the most part-- does not run away.

Pepper

Pepper is doing very well. She loves to play with her new little puppy "brother"! Couldn't have asked for a better dog.

Papi

May, 2009 Poppy is doing great! He has settled right in sleeps on his pad by the bed no mistakes in the house he has the run of the house. We take long walks and in the morning we work on jumping in the playground wow he is fast and a lot of ball playing in the backyard.. I guess it’s true somethings are meant to be..Poppy is a wonderful addition to our family. I took a couple of pictures the other day with my cellphone in the backyard. Thank you for all your help in adopting him he has a forever home with us.
