Several potential adopters met Beck, but when she met the Lechner's Beck told us they were the family for her. This sweet little dog has the personality of 10 border collies, and she's the local rat catcher too!

Just a quick note to let you know that Beck is settling in wonderfully! She is such a sweet dog! She definitely loves her ball, snuggling, the small dogs at the off-leash park, THE BED, and going for runs. She did hate riding in the jeep for the first few days, but now she will jump in when I open the back hatch. Her left fore-leg still is causing her some problems, especially after playing ball or running around. It's hard to restrict her activity levels..........I know she needs it more psychologically at this point than physically. In any case, I'm going to take her to the vet next week and have it checked out if it's still bothering her. Thanks again for letting us adopt her!

UPDATE: Beckie is still wonderful as ever! I can't help but feel smug about having her. Here's a story...................Beckie and I play ball, soccer and frisbee every day. One morning around Christmas time, I was standing in the kitchen and Beckie kept coming up to me and stamping her feet. She would leave, come back, stamp her feet and leave again. After a few times of doing this, she left and five minutes later she came back into the kitchen and ever so gently laid one of my christmas tree decorations at my feet and looked at me as if to say, "Now do you understand?" She had gone to the tree and taken one of the most delicate christmas balls off (without breaking it!) to let me know that I was late for our session. So cool!
