A Special note of Thanks

There are certain people in my life that without their love and support I would not be where I am today.

First, my husband Ed for allowing me the time needed to walk through this journey. He has stood proudly by my side and assisted me in every aspect toward my future goals. For showing so much compassion, patience and understanding towards all of the canine companions that come into our lives, thank you so very much, with all my love.

Next, my children Eddie, Amy and Heather, have helped to love and care for all of the four-legged friends that come to us. You have all been such an important part of their lives, whether they have a permanent place in our home or have moved onto another loving family. Thank you for being such loving, patient and tolerant children to all of gods creatures. I love you all very much.

My parents, Dick and Sandy Johnson have nurtured my compassion towards animals as a child. They raised me to have patience and compassion for all beings, and support me even now by offering themselves as a safe haven for those canines that otherwise would not have had a life. A brief paragraph is simply not enough, so in short, thank you for a wonderful life, family and always being there, I love you.

Our neighbors and friends Janice and Russell Wensel, are the most kind, selfless and loving people. Thank you for everything you do, including your assistance with the rescues.

Dick  and Cheryl Jagger Williams, Annie Palmer and Walt Jagger - their never-ending achievements with Border Collies are phenomenal. How fortunate I am not only in having them as mentors, but also to refer to them as my friends.

Lynn Mitchko, Thank you for your friendship and helping me to achieve my future goals, Cody included.

Dr. Keith Dorton and Beth Dorton. Doc, We appreciate your keeping all of our canine companions healthy. Beth, thank you for your wealth of knowledge and experience that you so readily share.

For all of those who have either adopted a rescue, or have as a member of their family a SheBaa Border Collie, we appreciate you for being a part of our extended family.
