For about 6 months I'd been looking at dogs on the web. Actually the dogs I was looking at were Jack Russells. I'd been used to one as a kid. A cool one called Rufus, a real character who belonged to my grandparents. I have many happy memories of holidays in Bridlington with my grandparents and that dog. Anyway although I wanted a dog Tony was not that keen and no amount of pictures of cute Jack Russell pups could persuade him, so that was that.
Then one day at work I heard a friend say she had 2 Border Collie pups that she hadn't managed to sell and she didn't know where she would find homes for them.
When I got home I just casually relayed this information to Tony. To my amazement he said 'OK lets have a look at them.' 'Wow', I thought, I've got to seize this opportunity.
A few evenings later Tony brought Joseph to meet me after work. Joseph knew nothing about the pup. He soon worked it out when we arrived at the farm where 2 cute 4 month old pups bounded up.
We had a good look at both and went away to think it over. Both almost identical to look at but both with very different natures. There was one quiet shy one and one bounder - probably a handful. It should have been a no brainer. Surely the quiet one would be so much easier. All of us looked at each other. We all knew it had to be the bounder. Don't quite know why but we all just knew. And we decided right there and then that this bounder would be called Sally. A quick visit to a pet store to buy the things we would need then back to the farm at the weekend to bring Sally home. The adventure had begun!
