DaisyMae is my adopted Border Collie Mix. She was rescued from a shelter that was about to put her down. Her orig owners paid to have her put to sleep. She's a chewer and they couldn't have any of that. To date, Daisy has chewed up (of mine) one cell phone, several pillows, two pair of shoes , two pair of glasses and my winter coat. But I could never put her down because of her chewing issue. Heck, I have a food issue. Daisy is 2 years old.

Oh, she's just beautiful!

She's lucky to have "found" you.

Thank you, Maggie. It took me almost three mos to get her to come out from under my bed, without forcing her. She acts like a normal dog these days, almost. Still a bit skiddish. But much better. Loves car rides and going to the pet store. She sure was a sad little thing when I got her. I think she was in a house where they had a kid or two as well. She just loves kids and runs to them if she sees them. Like she is looking for "her" kid.

Baeutiful dog! My Sophie had a major chewing issue until she was almost 2 years old. They usually outgrow that in time. Putting rawhide strips in every room really helped.

Hi,
I have found she chews less when we buy those cow hooves . But I forgot to get some for her this week and she chewed up my grandson's handset for his xbox. :(
I had to get him another one.

My dog, Nikita started chewing on firewood from the stack in the house when she was a little puppy. She'd just go take a piece and take it back to where she was laying and chew on it. Never chewed anything she wasn't supposed. Now she chews bones and raw hide.

I can't believe your DaisyMae was going to be put down because of chewing! Her original owners sound like it's a good thing they got rid of her because now she has a wonderful home. They probably wouldn't have treated her so good. Geez, animals make mistakes too....nobody is perfect.

Beautiful dog! I love Border Collies, such intelligent dogs. Has she tried to "herd" you yet? LOL!

Queenmama,
She hasn't tried to herd. But my son's border collie, Dyce, does all the time. He is going on 2 years old and just a maniac! He's ball crazy. I'll find a photo of him and post it. He;s your typical blk and white BC. Very pretty. I think Daisy is mixed with something....

She is a pretty girl. She loves the snow. Digs her nose right down in it sniffing away. She's a little hunter!

This is Dyce. My son's BC. He's very intelligent, but also a bit crazy. LOL. Very much ball and frisbee happy.
