   Boone sounds great!   My husband has a small business over there, at Wilcox Emporium, and we can drive there in a little over an hour.  Which pet-friendly hotel were y'all talking about?

  I live in NE TN near Bristol with my bunch of collies.  If you do indeed set a date let me know and I'll come over and keep you company!

Smooth Coat Collie Discussion & Pictures / Re: Growing up with a collie

   I'm delighted that collies are being included on this site!  Maybe their paws aren't the biggest, but certainly their hearts make up for it.
    I could write you a book - and maybe I will - full of all the stories of all the people who contact me looking for a collie "like the one I grew up with".  So many couples have said that one of their strongest bonds was their childhood collies.  So many parents have told me that they want their children to experience what they experienced, the love, devotion, companionship, and street smarts of a collie. Hundreds of children have told me how they've been saving and looking and praying for a collie.
    Sometimes I am able to place rescue collies with people who just thought they wanted a puppy when what they really missed and wanted was a collie. There seems to be some quality of soul , and I do not use the term lightly, which certain people and certain collies share with each other, to the enrichment of both.  For many people (me included), having loved and been loved by collies, no other breed could ever share my life in quite the same way.  Marcia P. and the Bonnie Collies

  Connie, I'm so sorry for your tragedy.  Sometimes it seems that one cannot endure that which must be endured.  The only way to approach it is to cling to what you love, take good care of yourself, and allow time to use your thoughts and memories to smooth the sharp edges of pain.
  As a collie breeder, I know that collies are mostly mind, heart, and soul - wrapped in fur.  I don't think that any other breed is so sensitive and so attached.  Your Gypsy's heart was broken, plus she was feeling all the loss and pain that you and your husband felt.  So somehow she found a way go where she needed to go, to be free of all the pain - smart girl.
     I can just imagine the scene at The Bridge when Gypsy found Buck waiting there.  What a volly of barks, what a wild swirl or flashing flying feet, what a flurry of licks and growls and groans and whines and sniffs went on as the faithful friends reunited.  Think of them together there - they are waiting for you, and you will see them again.  I really believe that.  Marcia P, Bonnie Collies
