The Border Collie Chronicles
Observations from (arguably) the World's Smartest Dogs;
(but, without question, the bestest friends!)
or, Life As We Understand It, as told from dad's shop.
Miss Ann
My little outlaw!
ANNIE - aka Ann, aka Annie Bannannie, aka Anne Marie, aka Ani, aka Speedy, aka Spency Girl 2, aka Buppy. Bubba's sister and also a full sister to Gall and Patches (though not a littermate). I bet you thought that fixing up Hardway and Patches was expensive ... not compared to Spency Girl 2! (then add on the 2015 snake bite treatments!) She is aloof!! Sickenly sweet (but only when she wants to be!) Enjoyed her time alone. Aggressive, but loving - she semi-patiently waited to become the Matriarch (but we are not sure that either she or Gall fully understood that concept ... but Merritt figured it out!!). Annie was born on February 19, 2010 and died on March 13, 2026.
Certainly a long and accomplished life for a BC.
Annie was named after Annie Riggs - a local tough pioneer mistress. She loved her litermate Bubba (who was officially named Riggs - get the connection between these two now?)

Well, it is sad that they are gone ...
But now - all five of the original BC Crew,
Mom, and the four siblings, are all back together!
God
certainly has his hands full …
but
he's also certainly happy to have these Bupps to help him work it all out!!!!
Your dogs are just dogs … to me.
My dogs are just dogs ... to you.
But to each of us ... individually,
Our dogs hold a very special place in our hearts and our homes.
And that makes all of our dogs an integral part of our family.
RIP Miss Annie!
Annie was a Buppy of few words, But here are some quotes she related to:
Anything you fully do is an alone journey.
Natalie Goldberg
I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am
the person I know best.
I was going to buy a copy of The Power of Positive Thinking, and
then I thought: What the hell good would that do?
He who joyfully marches in rank and file has already earned my
contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for
him the spinal cord would suffice.
Albert Einstein
Like I always say, there's no 'I' in "team". There is a 'me',
though, if you jumble it up. |
