Hi Ranger and welcome to Neuro talk.

It really is a great place full of kind caring people.

Sounds like you've got a great family, I love rough collies and border collies they are great dogs. Well there aren't many dogs I don't like, I had a stumpy tailed blue heeler X bull terrier, a wonderful dog, but alas he is no longer with me.

Looks like you've already found your way around, but if you need any help, just ask, someone will be along to help.
