Shadow is a wonderful 8 year old Tri Color female
collie that is fully vetted, spayed, and
housetrained.
She is a larger collie (taller), and about 10 lbs
overweight. Otherwise, she looks healthy, is
very well adjusted, and basically your typical happy
home collie. Her vet records suggest good
health as well.
Shadow is used to living in a multiple dog
household, loves people, and doesn't react to the
cats.
She prances around like a lady - very delicate and
soft. She knows many commands as well and has
been through obedience classes.

Good Morning!
On this beautiful, crisp sunny
morning in northern Minnesota, Shadow greeted
the day with a romp in the meadow with her three
new sisters ~ Nellie, Abby and Jessica!!
With the bright sun, filtering
through the trees, this playful quartet began
their workday with what collies (and 1 black
lab) do best - PLAY!! Running at full speed,
stretching out in long strides, they raced
around until they discovered twigs and sticks
randomly scattered in the snow. Once Abby
grabbed a huge stick, the game changed and
suddenly all four girls were playing " grab the
stick" game! After a little discussion, Abby,
the one in charge of us all, decided to let the
new "girl" win the game. As Shadow happily
trotted off ~ the WINNER ~ with a tiny piece of
what was left of that huge stick, she pranced
all around, wagging her tail, high in the air.
"What do you mean, time to go
in! I have only just begun to explore! But then
maybe a little breakfast would taste good about
now," is what I am sure Shadow was thinking.
So following breakfast, and
after a little begging on their part, the
"girls" again went outside, this time taking a
leisurely stroll around the yard, as Jessica led
the way. She wasted no time in showing Shadow
the well traveled deer paths, but best of all ~
Nellie didn't want her to miss those squirrel
trails!
Now they are back inside, all
four supposedly taking a short nap, seemingly to
fall asleep to the sounds of soft classical
music. I am thinking, however, that all of those
twitching ears are a sign, that none of them are
really sleeping.
So began SHADOW'S first day
with her new family, in her FOREVER HOME, here
on Glacier Ridge, in northern Minnesota.
Thanks so much to all of you,
who have worked so hard to help us bring Shadow
home. And collie hugs and kisses to Kim ~ from
SHADOW and JESSICA!!
