These two dogs were partners for a lot of years. We had Susan, the border collie/shepherd mix, for 19 years and 10 months. The big rotty thing lived to be 15. Susan would go into heat and chase male dogs while running backwards with her tail in the air while the big beast was fixed and got along with every dog and human she ever met, although she was scary to look at.
I really miss those dogs but am happy that both had long lives filled with love and good care. Neither was ever sick for a day until their final days and never had to go see a vet except to be put down.
