OUR GIRLS



Yargo came to us two weeks before we were married, finding her in a newspaper ad for free puppies. We were told her mother was a black lab but they did not know what the father was. As she grew, we suspected her "other" part was either a Chow or German Shepherd as her tongue had many black markings. She definitely became Dick's dog, was very loyal to him. Unfortunately, we lost her to cancer when she was 8 years old.


In July 2010, we rescued Maggie and Honey from a shelter in Anderson, SC after losing Yargo. Knowing we could give them the great life Yargo had, filled the void we were left with.



Yargo



Yargo will always have a special place in our hearts as she came to us two weeks before we were married. Unfortunately, she died when she was 8 years old, after collapsing out in our field, due to a ruptured malignant tumor on her spleen.


She was named after Fort Yargo State Park in Winder, Georgia. We went there often, with a small hibachi grill in tow, and sat by the lake all day, grilling food, listening to music, and occasionally hiking the trails. We decided to name her after the place we spent so much time.


A Tribute To Yargo

Maggie and honey



Maggie, a Border Collie/Pointer mix, was 14 months old. She was abused by her prior owners, only weighed 17 pounds, and her hair was matted up, full of her waste. She was in the shelter for two months waiting to be adopted. She is a very sweet girl, looking for constant attention. It took her a very long time to trust us and know we were not going to hurt her.


Honey, a Yellow Lab/? mix, was 3 months old. She weighed 12 pounds and was in the shelter for less than a week. Unfortunately, when she was 9 months old we found out she had hip dysplasia. We took her to the Veterinary Hospital at the University of Georgia for a consultation, and they advised no surgery at this point. The goal is to keep her weight down, exercise her, and give her supplements to strengthen her joints and cartilage. We've had to put rugs down in our tiled area as she's petrified of losing her footing and falling down. She has a great personality despite her handicap.


Sadly, we had to say goodbye to our sweet Maggie in April 2022. We were devastated, but were thankful we gave her the great life she deserved after being so severely abused her first year of life. Honey Girl was never the same after Maggie left us. She was looking for her every single day. Two months later we decided to adopt a companion for her and rescued Harper, a Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix, from the East Tennessee Border Collie rescue. Their time together ended up being very short, we had to say goodbye to Honey six days later due to kidney failure.

One thing our sweet Maggie taught us during her life here is that Border Collies are an awesome dog! We knew we’d always have a Border Collie mix after having her. Two months after Maggie left us we rescued Harper from the East Tennessee Border Collie Rescue. From a DNA test we found out she is Border Collie/Australian Shepherd. She is the most sweetest, constantly kissing puppy! But also... full of an endless amount of energy! How soon we forgot what what puppies are like!
