Some dog people on my f-list started a meme: Dog Breeds I Would Like to Own Before I Die.
I looked at Spike and realised, I got nothing. You're it, babe. You spoiled me for all those others, however fine.
I'd like to live long enough to have a few different Border Collies: a blue merle, a bitch. And if I happen to live long enough to be too old and wobbly to cope with a Border Collie I would maybe have a sheltie or one of the smaller corgi breeds, or a Papillon. But I'm not sure I really want to live as long as all that.
Edited to add: What I really wish is that I'd happened to collide with Border Collies much earlier. I think my life might have turned in a radically different direction if I'd had something like that to live up to. And I think I would have preferred it.
