Attention Collie Book Collectors!
Long time Florida Collie breeder and prior Florida District Director, Allene McKewen of Reignmaker Collies, is having to downsize due to a move to a much smaller place and is looking to sell her collection of Collie books. She recently went into the hospital with atrial fibrillation and was told she needed to reduce activities and to move where she would not be alone. She is moving in with a friend in a retirement community and does not have room for her books. She has been in the breed since she was a child (1940s), so some of these books are quite old and would be a great find for a collector! Note: Many of you may have known her as Allene Elkins through her first marriage, under the kennel name Elkinsholm.
Please contact her daughter, Katie McKewen at trademarkbark@gmail.com with any questions. They do not have prices set, so please make offers and they will get back to you.

The Love of a Senior Dog....
As I write this article, he is stretched out on the couch next to me with his head on my lap. I wistfully look down at him and our eyes meet. There is no relationship that is as solid as ours and no eyes that capture my heart like his do. He is the man that every woman dreams of! He loves long walks at leisure, doesn't mind watching chick-flicks, and never
complains about my cooking. In fact, he just about sounds too good to be true, but he's not. And the good news is that there are thousands more where he comes from. For a man this perfect look no further than your local shelter or rescue.
You aren't going to find this type of guy in the puppy room though. This is a type of love and calm devotion that only a senior dog can bring you. Sadly many people over look these wonderful gems though when searching for their perfect companion, and what a misfortune that is. Senior dogs make great companions for a number of reasons.
1) Senior dogs are calmer and less energetic than younger dogs. They don't require the constant attention and redirection that puppies and younger dogs demand. In fact they are often just content being in your presence doing whatever it is that you're doing.
2) They usually come with some amount of basic training such as house training skills and simple obedience commands. And if they don't? Never mind that old adage: You can't teach an old dog new tricks. In fact seniors are easier to train that younger dogs because their attention span, focus, and impulse control is greater than that of a puppy.
3) Older dogs often settle into a household quicker than a puppy because they already know how to get along in a family unit and relish the comfort of routine.
4) From the first moment you spend with a senior dog you will have a fairly good idea of what type of companion you are getting . He won't get any larger than he is at your initial meeting and his developed temperament will give you an immediate glimpse as to how he will fit into your household.
Let us know you if you are interested in Connor or any other of our available seniors at: http://www.tristatecollierescue.org/adoptables.html.

About Tri State Collie Rescue (TSCR)TSCR, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, is an all-volunteer, foster-based Collie rescue based in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Tennessee and West Virginia, with volunteers also located in Illinois and Pennsylvania. Our rescue provides veterinary care and temporary homes for owner-surrendered, stray, neglected or abused dogs. We work with shelters to pull collies and shelties in need of rescue.
TSCR strives to help collies and shelties, one adoption at a time. We are always in need of foster homes, as well as donations to care for the dogs in our care. Donations needed include monetary funds to pay for veterinary care, as well as donation supplies, such as collars, leashes, crates, food and toys. |
