"Kelli"


Kelli was the best Christmas gift I ever received as even after all these years she is the only time I received a dog for a gift!  I wished hard for her in 1997 and she was an incredible friend.  She raised all our puppies and taught them their manners, even the Staffy Bulls were raised by Kelli.  She was such a lady at all times, grace and dignity.  She did not like to show so we let her just be our girl.  She kept us on schedule at home!

Sadly we lost Kelli on July 4, 2007, one month and 2 days shy of her 10th birthday.  She was my first at-home goodbye and the first time I was ever present.  We miss her soooo!  Kelli-boo, I miss the smell of your toes!


Our last day together. She was perfectly groomed and cleaned as was her way.

The most beautiful Collie I have ever seen - age 8!

My favorite portrait of her face.
