Neighbour put their border collie “Mango” down today. That was an awesome little dog. Always came over for a visit. So full of energy and had a sense of humor as well. On more than one occasion would sneak up on me and grunt. Scared the crap out of me more than once. (Bears in the neighbourhood)
Tail would be wagging and her teeth would be showing. Always carried a stick or toy to throw. Going to miss that one too.
My lab was 13 and so was mango.
