I later adopted an adult dog (chocolate border collie) to be a companion and playmate for her, from a local rescue group. Murphy is a great dog.
They are both about 40 pounds each and their picture is my profile picture.
I am so glad I am constantly looking at dogs and puppies on this site.
Cali will be 3 yrs old on December 6th (already!), and Murphy is 5 months younger than her.
