;D So am I grawrc, I love dogs... well all animals to be honest... I am a great big softy and would love to take in every waif and stray possible!! I also have two cats, one was an abandoned ferrel kitten which we rescued and he is a great big thumper ginger cat now.... and so affectionate!! My other grey tabby was being sold at a local boot sale, far too young to be away from Mum, but these people were out to make money and no doubt would have dumped him if they did not find a 'sucker' like me.... anyway ten years down the line, his name is Bootsie and another loveable bundle of fur. Both cats adore Basil and visa versa.... so thankfully its one big happy family. Basil is as you say a proper collie and we adore him.... as well as his vast amounts of energy he has vast amounts of love to give and he is most affectionate and loyal.... ohhhhh and how we love him!!!
