It's a Long, Hard road ahead

I adopted Benny, nee Jenson, nee Mardi Gras out of a local shelter near my home in New York. He is a mixed Border Collie, brought up from Louisiana as a Hurricane Katrina rescue dog. Having had a Shetland Sheepdog for nine years before and a lovable mixed breed for 13 years before that, I knew that he would need a lot of walks and excercise. And I did go into this with full knowledge that a rescue dog from an over-crowded shelter would need a lot of love and patience.
