Because of border collies I have had friends in the darkest hours
companions who became outdoor shadows and learned the meaning of unconditional love Because of border collies I have been taught how to approach the day how to see places and objects
with refreshingly new eyes and to appreciate the possibilities of the mundane Because of border collies I have been denied access to pubs had to apologise to picnickers for missing sandwiches and to Sunday walkers for water - sprayed clothes Because of border collies I have possessed hard - working vacuum cleaners had black
hair hiding in carpets and clothes and mini-collie clumps under sofas and beds Because of border collies I have had the pain of ending life watch ageing take over willing but incapable bodies and cried so
long and so hard in emptiness Because of border collies I have had a life that is full and beautiful that has made me a person who knows how to love and to be loved in an uncomplicated world Ronnie Goodyer, Indigo Dreams Publishing Ltd www.indigodreams.co.uk
