Shadow, the Dog of the Day
Name: Shadow
Age: One year old
Gender: Male Breed: Border Collie
Home: Pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA
 
   My Border Collie's name is Shadow. Shadow loves to amaze everyone with his jumping and catching ability! He can catch a tennis ball or stick that is up to five feet in the air! He does spectacular twisting jumps to achieve his catches! When he is not playing, Shadow loves to give kisses and to snuggle with his family. We named him Shadow because the day we got him he was our daughter Katie's constant shadow and followed her everywhere.

    Shadow is a very friendly dog. He loves not only all the people that he comes in contact with, but loves to play with other dogs. He has a special Dalmatian friend, Lily. They are great pals, to the extent that if we are in the car and do take the usual route to Lily's house for them to play, Shadow will start to bark! He is a very intelligent dog, as you can tell from his ability to know the directions to Lily's house! A favorite game that the two of them play, is doggie hide and seek. One will get down low to the ground to become "invisible," while the other "sneaks up" on them. Then they are off and running, both holding one side of a toy or stick as they frolic through the yards!

    Shadow loves to run in the woods with me. This is where we get our "collection" of sticks. He can carry up to six nice size sticks in his mouth at one time. He will bring them back to the house for future games of catch.
