We said goodbye to our Miste yesterday. She was the star of our canine family. Here is a link to her backstory:   https://dogschooling.com/about-us/our-border-collies/

During her 11 years with us wowed elementary school talent show audiences for granddaughters Lauren and Amanda. Miste was a favorite to read to in her more than 150 therapy dog assignments and was always eager to show off for a crowd. She was a TV commercial model: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M89s_7iDZzI And she was a comfort to us all.

She would have celebrated her 12th birthday next week. Now she’s across the rainbow bridge and no doubt chasing the rabbits, squirrels and birds that she loved in our front yard.
