A milestone for Lassie and me
Lassie (AKA the librarian) turns 15 today making her the only Collie I've had to make it to that age. Lassie is in relatively good health. Her back legs don't work very well and I have to clean her up every other day because she can't squat to do her business. She has a hard time with the 4 steps going into the house as well. I can for see her sleeping in the shed instead of the house in order not to deal with steps. Shed has A/C, heat, dog beds and she likes it.
I got Lassie from the Denton TX humane society when Neal passed from lymphoma. Lassie was a mom at a puppy breeder and they were done with her. For a Collie she had no social skills and never played. When my other Collies played she would put a stop to it, hence the name the librarian. She is also the only Collie I've had that doesn't like stranger's.
