River's story is pretty short, really.
I stupidly browsed a freead site this time in 07; I spotted a dog that looked rather a lot like Opi. That's pretty much the history - I contacted the owner to suggest Dogpages, we got talking and I ended up bringing River (then Bella, but she's far too stroppy for that name) home. She's 50/50 lab X collie but takes after the collie side - very intense, focused, obsessive.
The owner couldn't keep Riv as her daughter was undergoing serious treatment for cancer - Riv was not only an infection risk but had bad separation anxiety when I got her so couldn't be left behind while her owner went to the daughter's.
That issue is sorted now, and agility is on the cards starting tonight.
