A quiet walk on the beach together…

Sam posed for some pictures for me. He looks so handsome, just like his big brother Nolan!
I can’t wait to see how much he looks like Nolan when he grows up!

Love Is…
Rough collies by smooth seas…
While my daughter is traveling to the National, I took puppy Dean to the beach. I decided to bring back our old “Love Is” series. Dean was happy to help by posing for pictures.

Wordless Wednesday…Love Is
Helping those who need a friend.
There has been an increase in collies in need of rescue. The collie rescue groups are currently overwhelmed and need new volunteers to foster, or they won’t be able to take in the new collies that are currently waiting for rescue. If you’ve been considering fostering, or adopting a rescue collie, this is the perfect time! These are just a few of the collies available, but as they are bonded pairs, they are having the most difficulty finding foster or forever homes. The first pair are especially heartbreaking, as seniors will always have a special place in my heart.
From the Collie Rescue League of New England
Meet Zamboni and Fancy
We are posting these two sweeties in the hopes someone will offer to foster them. We are experiencing an unprecedented number of collies in need of assistance. We had a foster home lined up, but there was a family emergency requiring the foster to leave the country.
Here is a little bit about them. Regrettably, their owner recently passed. The male tri is named Zamboni and is 8 years old. The female sable is named Fancy and is 12. Both are spayed/neutered. They have lived with cats. Very friendly around all people including children. The family members are taking care of them now but cannot do so much longer.
We are committed to keeping them together. If you wish to foster and have not yet done so for us before, we will need a foster app completed. Contact us at fosterdirector@CRLNE.org. We now have an electronic application. (Yay, Doug!) If you need a paper app, we can provide that as well. We have world class volunteers who will help with transport. We cover all veterinary costs, prescriptions and grooming.
We are open to adopting to the foster home if desired. Some of our volunteers like to foster, and some end up falling in love with their foster(s) and can't say goodbye and want to adopt. More than one board member has become a foster failure (cough, cough) over the years. The single most important outcome is to place them in a wonderful home together.
Let us know if you can help.

| Zamboni and Fancy, a beautiful pair of bonded seniors |
Here's a couple of fellas lookin' for their furever home... meet brothers Milo & Buckwheat! They are funny, four-year-old boys who like to go on adventures! They grew up around Lake Champlain, so are no strangers to the water, and the Adirondacks gave them lots of opportunities to hike. They like doin' whatever you're doin'!!! They like cats! And are snugglebunnies! They are vocal, protective, and like to herd things, too, including children. As such, we feel like they'd be best suited to a family with middle-school age children and up. If you're interested in fostering (or adopting) these two striking, sable 'n white fellows, email our foster director: fosterdirector@crlne.org
Check out Milo & Buckwheat in our latest Instagram reel! Milo & Buckwheat
And from Freedom Collie Rescue
They are coming in faster than we can keep up! We just took in six Collies in the last week and a half. We’ve been asked to take two more today. We do not put our Collies in boarding so we need Foster Homes so we can accept them into our rescue.
If you are in Texas, and you think you may be able to foster, please go to our website and click on applications at the top and then click on Foster application and you can fill it out online. We cover all vet bills, heartworm prevention, and cover dog food expenses. Please apply at freedomcollierescue.org
Meet Chester and Pepper
Two more sweet arrivals. Chester our rough Tri had a good grooming and is now worn out. Pepper our pretty smoothie also was groomed and both are settling into their foster homes. Big shout out to William for picking up these two and to Cecelia and Brad for a 3 hour drive to get Chester. Thank you Angela for your transport support too! Six collies into rescue! Five we had prepared for and one was a surprise surrender. Working on fosters for two more waiting to come in. If you are in Texas and can foster for us, please go to our website and fill out a Foster application. We cover all vetting, heartworm, medication, and food.
Help us help them!

Wordless Wednesday…Love is
Celebrating the moments!
After Sophie earned her last two legs in Barnhunt, we drove to a nearby State park called the Devil’s Hopyard. It’s a beautiful park with a waterfall and some easy trails. We haven’t visited this park in years, as we don’t get to that end of the State very often, but Sophie deserved to celebrate her new title and it’s a relaxing spot!
She also got a cheeseburger, because a new title calls for a big celebration! What do you do with your dog to celebrate special moments or birthdays/holidays? Please tell us in the comments!
We are joining Comedy Plus in their weekly Wordless Wednesday blog hop. It’s a fun way to discover new blogs!

Wordless Wednesday…Love is
Carrying the load when their bodies grow old.
This past weekend we took our two oldest collies to a dog fair. It was a nice event, with lots of vendors, fun activities and contests for the dogs, and all the money went to dog rescue. But Ryder and Kori just can’t do all the walking that an event like this requires, so we pulled out the wagons and pulled them around the fairgrounds.
They really enjoyed attending the dog fair, and competing in some of the contests. They both won the marathon down, it was a tie, as they are very good at lying in the soft grass for long periods of time. And Ryder won the pie eating contest, with their collie friend Kelsea winning second place, and Kori coming in third.
I only took a couple pictures, and didn’t get any of the contests, I was too busy enjoying the moments with my sweet collies. For us, it wasn’t about the pictures, it was just about making memories, as you never know how much time you will have together.
They seemed to really enjoy the “pie” so I think I will recreate the contest at home, so all the collies can try it. I will make sure to get a video if I do our own pie eating contest.
Hopefully everyone will spend a little time this week making memories and spending time with your loved ones, both four footed and two footed alike. After all, that’s really what love is all about!

Wordless Wednesday- Love is...
(My mother's collie, Chase, is 11 years old and getting a little stiff. So when my daughter saw these giant, orthopedic dog beds on sale at Petsmart she had to get him one. With the special sale, and our 15% off coupon, it was a great deal. Chase loves his new bed, he spends all day relaxing on it and sleeps on it at night. )

Love is...as endless as the ocean.
For this Sunday's "Love Is," we are featuring our first three collies, Abby, Lad and Holly. Lad left us too soon, we lost him 4 years ago when he was just 7 years old. But he is still in our hearts, as love is truly endless.
