James E. Coleman level-classic April 24, 2006

Gail,
Just looking through your diary...beautiful shots too!
This one had to comment on. I also had a collie growing up, she was so sweet!
to my embarrassment, when I got too big to give her attention, she would sneak up to the neighbors just to be with the kids...never a problem.
This is a great shot of your dog, I remember that look!
