Munch was recently rescued from an animal shelter in another town, and she’s a joy. She likes other dogs, loves to play with her ball and wants to just be part of a family.

She is good on the leash, knows commands, like sit, down and come, and she learned to use a doggie door in less than five minutes.

As we all know, border collies can climb over 5-foot fences, so when she is left alone, it is best to keep her in a yard with 6-foot fencing or taller.

Precious as a ‘pumpkin’
