This is my beloved friend Kirby. He looks like a little “Lassie”. He’s what they call an ‘oversized’ sheltie. But don’t get sucked into that beautiful exterior; he’s quite a macho man. I’m one of those hoity toity dog training types who likes to have a gentleman dog around who knows his manners. He recently spent some time with a trainer, learning better dog manners and more of the agility circuit. She told me he could pass the Canine Good Citizen just by taking the test. I tell ya, what a pleasant little loving fellow he is. All 50 pounds of him, lol. I have to say that being around Kirby is the most wonderful thing when you’ve had a difficult day…he is so incredibly intuitive and comforting. I never thought a dog could add so much to my life.
