I think that may be the first time I ever used a hashtag.

I've probably posted this before, but every time I come across this video it makes me smile and laugh and cringe all at the same time.

Oh goodness, 15 year-old me and fluffy two-year old Panic. Adorable.

This is the video I made for Panic when he was technically our foster dog for MidAmerica Border Collie Rescue. Panic was our foster for about four months before we officially adopted him. I always knew he was "mine", but we really had to work hard to integrate him and Toby.

Time is a funny thing. This was seriously six years ago?!

Thank you!! I do owe a lot of that to Panic, as well as the couple of foster dogs before him. He was quite a challenging dog and I often found myself crying in frustration over trying to get him to do anything. I'm very happy that my response to that challenge was to learn more and try harder. It helped that I had an entire summer filled with absolutely nothing to work with him every day.
