Lost our pack leader today....

our oldest dog and pack leader for most of its 14 years died today, heart failure. We had been treating her for celuitus after thinking one of our other dogs bite her, but the vet couldn't find any puncture wounds. We nursed her about 5 days on meds but today she went downhill fast.
Favorite memory on this dog was throwing a 4x4 piece of hedge wood in the air and her catching it, for many years, every day. She broke off most of her teeth over the years catching hedge logs like that. The last 5-7 years she pretty much kept the other collies and labs in line, kinda grouchy but a nice dog..she got parvo when we first got her 13 years ago and we got her through that, with about 56 injections.
Heres a pic of Chelsie
