I’ll never forget the day that my buddy Beverly and I picked up Chance on a Sunday morning in Lubbock. It was a hard day – Chance was coming into Southwest Collie Rescue, and I just remember this scrawny boy with collie nose riding back to Amarillo in the back seat! He was pretty nervous, and his coat started falling out, followed by the first diagnosis of Addison’s disease after he had a crash. Flash forward a year – and the Addison’s is managed, and my big boy had finally put on weight! He morphed into a spectacular male collie, sweet tempered, with the classic Lassie white blaze. I thought of it as Chance’s arrow on his beautiful head. He traveled with us frequently, and particularly enjoyed family camping trips and afternoon naps in the travel trailer! In his final years, Chance became the true pack leader, a regal and beautiful male collie. He also loved to play, and enjoyed puzzle games where he would always discover all the tidbits in the first few minutes! Words are not enough – Chance was not only loved; he was cherished and adored. Beloved regal boy.
