Blue joined our merry wee band at 3 years old, no longer loved by his owner (my neighbours sister) and didn't quite get there as a working sheep dog so I told Alice we'd love to have him. Black and white with pretty blue eyes. He was a 'bit' nutty, finding new things to bark at was a big hobby, car, tractors, gun fire, hammer hitting nails, goats clashing horns, as new thing happened around the place there was always new things to bark at. He would chase the postman on his side of the fence, down and back up again and delivery drivers of course. He always had a big happy smile, loved cuddles and even the young cat who he shared his bed with and even biscuits if the cat wanted. Last year he had a stroke and we thought we'd have to say goodbye then but he pulled through and was back to his old self in no time. Last Wednesday he had another, I took him to the vet on Friday as he didn't show any signs of improvement and we've had a pretty horrid weekend. Yesterday he wouldn't eat, could hardly walk and looked sad. He was put to sleep this morning, peacefully and calmly in his basket. I'm going to miss him so much, it seems strangely quite without him - wherever he is I hope he's happy and has a bit long paddock fence to run along xx
