A Special Charge

A Loan From God
Unknown Author

God promised at the birth of time, A special friend to give, His time on earth is short, He said, So love him while he lives.

It may be for eight or ten years, Or only two or three, But will you, till I call him back, Take care of him for Me?

A wagging tail and cold wet nose, And silken velvet ears, A heart as big as all outdoors, To love you through the years.

His puppy ways will gladden you, And antics bring a smile, As guardian or friend he will, Be loyal all the while.

He’ll bring his charms to grace your life, And though his stay be brief, When he’s gone the memories, Are solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay, Since all from earth return, But lessons only a dog can teach, I want you each to learn.

I’ve looked the whole world over, In search of guardians true, And from the folk that crowd life’s land, I have chosen you.

As I get used to my new place, I will start to settle down.

Thanks for being patient with me. I don’t mean to be such a pain.

Why The Border Collie Labrador Mix Is Perfect For Your Family And Kids

Before you decide to go and adopt a dog, you will have to ask yourself the question:  am I ready to take the responsibility of having a new member in your household?

The second most important question you will ask yourself: What breed should I get? At this point, you will have to consider a lot of factors into the equation. You have to consider your living space, your budget, the climate, and so many other factors.

You have to remember that no matter how much we try to treat dogs as humans; we cannot change how they are. So having kids who might hit or invade your dog’s space would be a cause for concern as animals will instinctively defend themselves when threatened. But having this mixed breed will leave you at ease – they may even behave better than your children!

Let’s see some of the reasons why the Border Collie Lab mix is perfect for you:

They are a mix of two top-class breeds

The Border Collie breed is rated as one of the most intelligent dogs around. They were primarily bred to help shepherds herd sheep so you can also expect them to come with high energy levels. As family pets, they will not be herding your children, but instead, you can expect that they will be vigilant for their safety.

Labrador Retrievers are not too far in comparison. Super intelligent, obedient and loyal, there is a reason why they are one of the most popular family pets around.
