I spotted an gallery image uploaded by Foester a couple of days ago called Buddy Was Framed. He has almost identical markings to our doggie so I thought I'd post this for fun so everyone can say 'aaaawwwwwwwwww what a cute doggie' :-) He IS cute but like all of his kind can be very naughty at times but we love him to bits! This is our dog, Tex - a Border Collie/Springer cross who we rescued almost 6 years ago now. He was a scrawny little thing who'd spent most of the first 16 months of his life in the dog pound. 2 families had adopted him but neither could cope as he's very headstrong and stubborn due to his parentage. Then we found him, took him home, took him to obedience classes and now he's a loving family dog who has us treating him like royalty because he's just sooooooooo adorable Thanks for looking...nice to share personal stuff like this occasionally G
