Shiney was roughly 15 years old when we lost
her.

After our sudden loss of Bud in August, 2008, our house seemed so very empty and sad
without our old soul.
We decided to wait for a while to let our household adjust to Bud's loss
and the addition of Fia's daughter, Flirt.
Darren was down in Scottsdale for the Cynosport Games in November,
08. There he ran into the wonderful people of Arizona Border Collie Rescue, Bud's friends.
A phone called followed his visit with them . . . they had an old gal in
rescue, should we adopt her? Her name was Nana. I told him sure, let me know what he thought
and, if he thought she was a fit in our household, just bring her home as it would save me the drive down there
later!
Darren and Nana arrived home 3 days later.
We renamed her Shine. She was such a very old soul, with her loving
spirit "shining" through her old soul eyes. She was deaf, but "listened" to hand signals very
well.
Shine fit in just fine. She had attached herself to our toddler
son, Brayden.
We owe so much to the wonderful people of ABCR for allowing Bud
and Shine to enrich our lives. They are no longer friends, but are our extended family.
God only allowed us one year with Shine, but she was loved and is dearly
missed.
