Just about a year ago now was the last time I saw BJ, a border collie that my family has had since my junior year of high school in 1998. The reason for this is that it was this time last year that my parents split up and due to the causes of that, I have not seen (or really spoken to) my father since. Since my parents had two border collies, my mother took one and my father took BJ.
BJ has a tremendous love for frisbees and "woolies" (stuffed animals made from wool). He also has an odd fear of people being in the kitchen (though he'll go in there if there are no people in there). He's not much for tricks to show off, but he's incredibly intelligent and is able to differentiate a variety of toys based on shape, size, and color.
I miss BJ tremendously... I not sure if seeing pictures of him helps or makes it worse. But, either way, here he is.
