Our new Border Collie/Retriever mix puppy

Since Murphy’s passing in December of 2020, we had been sad and Kodi was missing his buddy. Although we put in a few applications for some older dogs—we weren’t really looking to get a puppy—we were not successful in finding one with the qualities necessary, such as good with kids, dogs and cats. We were close to adopting from a Maryland border collie rescue after being approved, but Covid threw some travel wrenches into the mix. That’s when we saw “Shari Callie” on a local adoption page. She looked a lot like Murphy and we put in an application. Despite saying it would take about three business days to hear if approved, we received an email less than three hours later asking if we wanted meet her the following day. They approved us so quickly because we were 4x previous adopters and they could see what a loving home she would have. She was described as incredibly sweet and loving and when we met her we knew she was the one! So on 3/27/21 “Callie,” as we now call her came home with us and is now part of our menagerie. I think Murphy sent this wonderful girl.
