Ok,this is my little guy,a border terrier named Pacey.

He's actually bigger now than he was in this pic-I have an embarassingly large collection of photos on my phone of him,but I'm terrible at uploading them to my computer,so I only have a few that I can choose from to put on here.

I'd wanted my own dog for nearly a year,but seeing as I live with my family I had to get my parents to agree,and they were initially against the idea.Then,in September last year,they said yes-on the very same day that Andy went on to win the USO!!I kid you not!That was a very,very good day for me

My pleasure Dani......I think I found it on page 5!  There are some great threads on here, that haven't been used for a long time, but posting on them brings them back to page 1! Awww......Pacey looks like a sweet little guy! I've had dogs practically my whole life and most have been rescues......mainly mongrels! We rescued a crossbreed puppy in 1992 and called her 'Lady'! (what else!)   She was 3/4s Border Collie and 1/4 German Shepherd. My daughter and I used to take her to an obedience class and in the good weather, they had a few bits of 'mini' agility equipment, which we'd set up in the park, just to give the dogs a bit of fun! Lady took to it like a duck to water and absolutely loved it, so on her first birthday, we joined her in an Agility club and it changed our whole lives! We'd only ever seen Agility on TV before and such a thing would never have crossed our minds, had it not been for her puppy obedience classes! On our first Agility lesson, everyone said she was a 'natural' and they were right! I now have a cabinet full of trophies and literaly hundreds of rosettes, two of which are from Crufts for both Agility and Flyball! I always said our lucky star was in the sky, the day we found Lady! Really, it was she who rescued us! 

Yeah,he's a complete rascal,but he is sweet really.Complete troublemaker but a heart of gold!

Just this weekend my little cousins were over at the house,and one of them is quite scared of dogs.I had put Pacey away in my bedroom so he wouldn't scare Benny (my cousin),but Ben really wanted to just see him.Well,by the end of the day he was marching aound and around the kitchen with Pacey on the lead,proud as punch.And Pacey,who is normally as boisterous as anything and charges rather than walks,just let himself be lead round and round by this little boy.It was so sweet to see.

Awww,wow-thanks for telling us about Lady (LOVE the name ).Really loved reading your story!Sounds like a fantastic dog-and so talented too!

Thanks I'll have to load the pics from my phone on to my computer soon-then I'll have a more recent one to post.

Aww,that's a pain,I'm sorry If it's any consolation though,I spent the better part of a year convincing my parents to let me get him-so if it's something you really wanted down the line your mum might change her mind,perhaps?

Thanks Sabine!

Hah,yeah,I guess Border Terriers all do look a bit alike,but in person he really doesn't look much like her at all-he's got totally different colouring from her.

Aww,that sucks about your Mum,I'm sorry.Allergies are a real pain!
