My brother lost his Border Collie Jake at the start of the month.
He'd been a bit ill, so he took him to the vets. As they were walking to the practice, Jake collapsed, and passed away soon afterwards. He was an old dog, somewhere between thirteen and fifteen.
Here's a photo I took of him in November last year.
I wasn't sure if he was going to get another anytime soon, then he found a litter of blue merle Border Collies, and he decided that this one will be his new dog.
For more cuteness, here's another photo. My brother's is the one at the top left.

Oh, sad news about dear old Jake - but that new little pup is adorable

Had to take one of my parents dogs, Limo, to be put down today. Of the three dogs that my parents own she was my Dads favourite. A jolly good friend indeed.

I knew it! The little s.o.b. is in league with the Prince of Darkness. Not you, Giles-apparently there's an other Dark Lord. ???

To those of you Stateside:
I signed up for www.ccwsafe.com because I conceal carry a pistol. Its an insurance program where if you defend yourself they will represent you in a criminal and civil lawsuit. Found out something interesting: they will also give you legal representation if your dog defends you in a self defense situation (as well as any defensive weapon of opportunity, including bare hands).
This is huge for my wife and I. While we live in a nice neighborhood, we occassionally get some shithead that capitalizes on the fact that we don't have much of a police presence. We walk our dogs every night after dark, and it does weigh on our minds if someone comes after us, our Rottweilers will likely come to our defense (they have twice, though no blood was shed). We don't want to risk our dogs being put down because they were doing the right thing.
Just a PSA in case someone else here thinks about that.
