Army of Two

Happy 7th Birthday Dylan!

It might have taken me seven years to get here, but I suddenly see my strange little Border Collie.

I haven’t always had the best relationship with Dylan; althought I’ve always loved him, because he’s endearing and silly and honest, but I have found him frustrating and odd and yeah, sometimes a little irritating (with those damn neurotic Border Collie tics), and I definitely haven’t always understood or trusted him. I don’t know why we suddenly get along so well, but I’m holding tight and hoping it lasts.

I have made better decisions for him this year. Pulling from Wyre because I didn’t feel like he was right. Cancelling all the indoor agility shows I had planned. Quitting flyball. These were good choices. Dylan is much, much happier in everything he does now. I trust what he’s telling me, and I hope (maybe) he trusts me now to listen.

It’s been an immense journey for him to get me here. Sorry it took so long, Dyl.
