Janet - When you can see for how ever many miles in all directions, I guess everything in relative sight lines is around the corner. :) And of course fireskye every night. Thanks for all your help! An offer had been made on the property (cash with no conditions) while I was drafting a bid. Back to the looking mode. >of course we compared collie notes, pictures and dog introductions! Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time. But even these small gathering are great. > the >house he is looking at has an ideal set up for move in dogs, as well as >setting up a kennel, runs, etc. of course! The more I think about it, the more I think how much work will be needed to duplicate it. From indoor facilities easily connected to outdoor runs, to acre size exercise areas. >he joins the scores of dog nuts in this small community. we have over six >active dog clubs!! i am hoping dean will join my club and start doing some >herding with my instructor, who lives just a block over from both of us. >small world, eh?? I was truly amazed at the number of dog people and activity there. It was not one of the reasons I choose to look there but it has become a high point. There are various breed national champions in the area and every day I ran into someone else who was into dogdom. It was a nice feeling to be welcomed into a community before I moved there.
