No he is staying. Found someone to help out to prevent him being left. Which is what was happening too much. Hence my distress. I have had collies all my life, but didnt bargain on my business taking off to such a great extent so soon and before I was ready. Most of the time he comes with me everywhere but sometimes it isnt possible. Now I know for definite that when I am not about he is happy and having fun.

PS: And there is no way in hell my dog would ever have gone into kennels.

Glad hes staying, although not sure why the option of rehoming him was put before getting a helping hand.

Your last statement tells it all from someone seconds ago willing to give up on a meant to be loved pet.

Sorry you have the completely wrong idea here and you dont know me so do not make assumptions without knowing the full story. There is a heck of a lot more to it than meets the eye here, and whilst I appreciate you can only go by what you read, to judge someone without knowing is completely way off.

The dog IS loved, he IS staying and thats the last time I will post on the subject...Thank you!!

I dont need to judge facts are right there, you was rehoming the dog and in seconds decided you didnt 'need' to..Says it all...

Hope the dog has a happy life, glad hes loved I never said different.

That is brilliant news I am really happy for both you and your dog. I hope you will stick around now, and definitely post some pics of your lad. There are loads of collie lovers on here

Thank you Moobil. DevilDogz(love that name) sorry maybe I misunderstood you. But Buster is staying, I am so so relieved and happy. I jumped the gun thinking about rehoming him as when I posted earlier about it I was upset and thought maybe that was my only option, without exploring other options.

So I hope we can start again, and when I figure out how I will post photos and introduce myself and Buster prooperly.

Thanks its a wee bit different as user names go - Yes would be nice to see some pictures, as said there are lots of BC fans here. Your lad is just a wee bit younger than mine
