Kali (June 2005 - October 2015)
Kali is a Welsh Farm Collie born in Wales.
To be honest I had my mind set on a little pedigree black and white traditional collie like the collie we had when we got Teija.
Nothing could replace Jessie and we didn't want to replace her but I have a real soft spot for the badger traditional markings. (all stems back to being a Blue Peter fan in the era of John Noakes and Shep)
Anyway, fate had a different idea of things and the picture of a tiny white scrap of a pup jumped out at me on a website and heart rulled over mind. As it turns out she was in Wales just a short hop on a train from where we were going to be on holiday in a few days time and so we arranged to collect her on my birthday.
Some birthday present she turned out to be ... she was a Daddy's girl from the minute we collected her. She was not used to women as the farmer was the one who fed them.
We already had Teija who was born deaf and blind and as it turned out Kali also had vision problems that required operations and she is now very short sighted which makes her nervous until she feels safe.
Scotland
We moved to the West Coast of Scotland in 2013 and Kali just loves being on the beach. She has always considered that she is far too well trained to even have needed a harness or lead and so is in her element now she is very rarely required to have either on.
The down side for her is that being fluffy and close to the ground she brings an abundance of sand back trapped in her fur ... this results in a bath which is one of her pet hates but as it has become a necessary result of hours of freedom it is one she suffers (not always with good-will though).
