Thanks for the video.
I now have a similar looking female named "Ruby Begonia." She is 3 and goes everywhere now that I am retired. She is my third BC and best dog of all time. Ruby is good around horses, travels on canoe and raft trips, and carries a pack on backpacking trips. She likes to go fishing. She is the most athletic and the smartest dog I have had in 45 years.
The only thing I don't like about dogs is that they do not live long enough. But they teach us about loss among many other things. I cannot imagine living without dogs. Blessings to you and for your loss.
One of my Border Collies would pick out what she wanted to watch on YouTube. I'd scroll around, she'd see a horse or something that interested her and whine, she'd bark when the mouse went over it so I'd click it and let her watch it. They are very smart dogs.
Rain goes and gets my shoes in the morning. When we camp I can tell her to "go get me a stick" and she'll go find one for the fire. She cleans up her toys and puts them in her basket before we go to bed at night. She loves to go to Home Depot and walks without a leash there. Always stays on my right side. Never moves but knows where that lady with the dog treats works.
I always told my short haired Border Collie she was the "Best Dog Ever" and at the time she was. The loss was devastating. It took a long time but Rain is "The Best Dog Ever" now. If anyone ever hurt my dog they'd be really sorry.
