This
is my home bred boy Thunder. He is a rough blue merle collie. Thunder
is the last of my own breeding. He has been a faithful companion and show
dog (obedience) and was also a therapy dog for many years. As his therapy
work, he spent time visiting the aged and homes for special care and the
veterans unit. People's faces would just glow when he came to see them. He
is a "velcro dog" and is anywhere I am. He is very quiet, loveable and
cuddly. He was born on June 27, 1998. He still loves to play but is not
able to keep up with the others anymore so he just barks at them!
Six years ago, I was diagnosed with lung cancer. To me, this was a death
sentence. I went to the park every day and sat on a bench and cried and
cried. Thunder was always right beside me with his head in my lap, giving
me courage, day after day. He stuck very close to me and pined when I went
in the hospital. I survived and I thank my darling Thunder for helping me
to get through that very rough time.
