"Is tu gra mo croi."
Jayden's Rowena, or Rowena (meaning: "White Mane") is the name of the beautiful black and white freckled Border Collie that I have raised and trained to become my service dog. She has given me something that many care providers have never been able to give me... an increase in my level of functioning that has enabled me to become a more active member of my community. This is a journal of the triumphs and trials of our wonderful partnership.
This is an old video clip, but since I have never been able to post videos before now, I am going to share this clip with you. Here is my girl showing me that I'm indeed the Alpha dog! What a sweety!
Hi there, I am enjoying reading your blog and would like to exchange links on our respective pages, if you would like to do this please just post a comment or put up the link to my blog. I will link to yours either way. The information offered in your blog is helpful and is in the same vein of what I plan to do with my own.
I have a border collie service animal because of balance problems due to back injury. I live in Texas. The other evening, we were kicked out of attending a function that because dogs can't be around where food is served. The assistant manager yelled so loudly, the dog cowered on the floor in shock. He tried to yank the dogs leash. I wouldn't let him as the dog was traumatized. I coaxed her outside with what she was trained with, "come on, let's go". We left. I made a police report. Turns out it's civil and criminal offense in our state. Will find out during the week what if any actions are to be taken against this establishment.
By the way...border collies are great dogs. This dog is the best thing that's ever happened to me.

I had a collie called "Rosie" too.
She was the only real freind that I ever had.
I miss her so.
