Susan wrote this in a card to me:

"A collie is bred for herding.
His purpose is to keep everyone together. A collie helps to keep me together, both body and soul."

I wanted to share this with other collie people!
Teresa with Howard. It looks like little Scout is ready to go!
I finally noticed the two "Going Home" pages had a lot of duplicates in the galleries. All of the other pictures are still around, just go to "Going Home 2" to see them.

They live only a few miles away!
