Belle, the Dog of the Day
Name: Belle
Age: Ten years old
Gender: Female Breed: Border Collie
Home: Columbia, Maryland, USA
 
   Belle is a wonderful dog who loves to romp in the woods, splash in the river, and chase or herd anything that moves. Even though she's been slowed by Lyme disease the past few years, as soon as she gets in the wood or spots water the years disappear from her and she's like a puppy again.

    Belle's been with us since she was seven weeks old. She was born on a cattle farm in Woodstock, Virginia during a huge snowstorm and the first time out of the barn was to come home to live with us. When she was younger, she loved to play frisbee and dabbled in agility training. In true Border Collie fashion she considers herself always on the job and takes chasing the cats around the house just a seriously as watching the kids play a quiet board game on a rainy Sunday afternoon. She'll circle the table the entire game making sure all of the game pieces stay herded together on the table from the kids.
