Fourteen months serving your nation and the greater good of mankind in a desolate, sandy hellhole half way across the world; putting your life on the line every day, all day, making decisions most others couldn’t or wouldn’t make; a freely chosen commitment of sacrifice and service; and only one thing can bring you to tears: your two Border Collies.
Welcome home, Airman, welcome home.
Christopher: Let them complain, I’m well within the rights of every American to speak freely and to criticize the speech of others. If they don’t want to take the heat for breeding double merle dogs, then they should not do...
Kathy Bittorf: Chris I want to apologize to your readers for the run over of some collie chat list. Jana even states something I posted on this list? Is that retaliation for her letting the cats out of the bag? Guess I know how...
Jana: Your guess is as good as mine. I can’t even figure out how to respond to this person in an appropriate way. Christopher: No thread. The Collie folks are having an extended chat on one of the Collie posts and it sort of spilled over to here.
Kathe: Jana, can you send me a e-mail from my web site and I can get some pictures off to you? His nose is black. Kathe Jana: Yes, I’d love to see! It looks like he has a black nose, too, not gray like you’d expect. Kathe: Jana, Jake has the most beautiful chestnut brown eyes. I can try and get a close up picture of them if you would like this weekend. Kathe Kathy Bittorf: Jana: The question of eye color would be best answered by the breeder. The expert that found “Coat Color in Dogs” series of posting states it is still guessotyping even with good photos, and even hands... Kathy Bittorf: Dave you are so right…big ears possibly even the pricked ones. Love this discussion. Kathy
Dave: Big ears are essential to herding. Everyone knows that. Link is a .RTF format. Kathy Bittorf: Chris think you make a good point. The hound and rabbit situation were male dogs. The smarter ones learned to leave him alone. Kathy Bittorf
Allied Communication:
It brought me to tears too. And I get a welcome dance of joy twice a day.
Beautifully sweet, so moving.
I just saw this. I bet you know I cried.
Welcome home, Airman. I hope the border collies help some of the worst memories fade.
