mita Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 There have been a couple of times where one of the other Collies have run into her and knocked her over as they have turned to chase a ball and she has been right in their path, well she goes after them and grabs a mouthful of their fur and has such a cranky look on her face, it's so funny watching her seek revenge Don't mess with Gran! is her motto. I love her fighting spirit. :D No wonder she's doing so remarkably well, in the face of cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She loves it so much here with the other Collies and inside the house with a full belly twice a day, she is determined that she is not giving it up without a fight, beautiful old lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwenneth1 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 It's good to hear she's feeling well enough to try and put the whipper snappers in place! This really is a beautiful rescue story and I am so happy that she is going to see out her days in a happy place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lassie come home Collie Roughs Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Update on Bonnie the little Collie Bonnie is quietly enjoying living in the country, I attach a picture of her taken this morning with her little jacket on to keep the cold off her back. She has good days and bad days but generally she is amazing. Her coat is growing quite long now and is thickening up ready for a Rydal winter I think. Most days she has 2 full meals and anything else that is being offered. If I am running late getting her breakfast she simply stands there staring at me until I get up and get her something to eat. She sleeps on a big fluffy doona in my ensuite having claimed that position and doona as hers. She doesn't play with the other Collies but she is always trotting around with them and is always with me and the pack when I am doing things around the property. The horrible smell has gone now that she is kept clean, brushed and on good freshly cooked meals everyday. She is such a beautiful girl I am thankful for every day that she stays well and happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 She is beautiful. I've been following her story so I'm pleased that she is doing so well. I lost my first dog (of my own, not a family dog) a rough collie, when he was 16 yrs old nearly 25 years ago and he too was a beautiful, gentle soul.

Bonniebank Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 She is BEAUTIFUL! Your heart must be heavy each time you look at her but I wish for more days that you have with her than you think.

frenzied1 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Don't waste time, breath or effort trying to understand or hoping Bonnie's previous people will be visited by wrathful entities . We will never understand. Bonnie has you now and that is all that matters. I am sure animals live in the present and all she will know from now on is your love and care, a happy tummy, a soft warm bed and loving snuggles. Well done. Seconded Isn't she pretty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
