My name is Laddie-Boy and this is MY page. Yep. That's right. My very own web page. And I'm sure you're all wondering what exactly a dog is doing with his own web site, right? Well I'm out here for several reasons. I'm here to help raise awareness with everyday dog owners about what it takes to raise a puppy the positive way, train with common sense and educate you good folks about what a collie is and what it takes to own one. A little presumptuous you think? Perhaps, but with over five million dogs euthanized yearly in United States animal shelters it certainly couldn't hurt to offer something that might actually save a life.</div> <div>    On the lighter side of life, I'll be sharing stories about myself, the family I live with and the job I share with my human mom. Yeah, I work. But you can read all about that on my personal page. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my site.</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="130f0030.gif" border=0 width="496" height="3" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div>   <a href="http://htmlgear.lycos.com/specs/guest.html" target="_top"><img border="0" ismap src="http://htmlgear.lycos.com/img/guest/gb_peach.gif"></a><br> <a target="_NEW" href="http://guestworld.tripod.lycos.com/guest/control.guest?u=collieami&i=1&a=view"><font face="arial,helv,helvetica,sans serif" size="-1">View My Guestbook</font></a><br> <a target="_NEW" href="http://guestworld.tripod.lycos.com/guest/control.guest?u=collieami&i=1&a=sign"><font face="arial,helv,helvetica,sans serif" size="-1">Sign My Guestbook</font></a><br>   </div> <bR> <div> <I><B>PLEASE SIGN MY GUEST BOOK.</b></I></div> <div> I WON'T KNOW YOU WERE HERE UNLESS YOU SIGN MY GUEST BOOK.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="130f0030.gif" border=0 width="496" height="3" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div>  <script src="http://www.practical-pet-care.com/pet-tips.php?mdj-purple-purple-thistle-purple-tnr-large-purple-dog"></script>  </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="130f0030.gif" border=0 width="496" height="3" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <I><B><U>UPDATES</U></b></I></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="10" CELLPADDING="5" CELLSPACING="3" WIDTH="628" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#996699" BORDERCOLORDARK="#663366" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER HEIGHT= 230 WIDTH="590"><div> <B><IMG SRC="35a61480.gif" border=0 width="97" height="72" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">5/1/2005<IMG SRC="35b61480.gif" border=0 width="97" height="72" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></b></div> <div> <B>WO</b><B>W</b><B>!</b></div> <div> <B>Talk about busy!</b></div> <div> <B>Téa has added Herding Instinct Certified (HC) and Novice Courser (NC) titles to her name.</b></div> <div> <B>She's also</b><B> started her show career with a 2 point win.</b></div> <div> <B>You can find new pictures of her on her </b><A HREF="id56__.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Téas Page"><U><B>personal page</b></U></A><B>! </b></div> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="130f0030.gif" border=0 width="496" height="3" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="10" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="3" WIDTH="431" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#996699" BORDERCOLORDARK="#663366" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 423 ><NOBR><div> <B>Meet my assistant!  Web Mistress:</b></div> <div> <A HREF="id56.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Téas Page"><U><B>TÉA</b></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <B>aka:</b></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id56.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Téas Page"><U><B>Sheranda's Faithfully Yours, CGC.</b></U></A><A HREF="id56.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Téas Page"><U><B>,HC.</b></U></A><A HREF="id56.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Téas Page"><U><B>, NC.</b></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <B><IMG SRC="42bfa270.jpg" border=0 width="250" height="295" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></b></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="130f0030.gif" border=0 width="496" height="3" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div>  <I><B><U>WHAT'S TO COME!</U></b></I></div> <bR> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c800000000.gif" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">POTTY TRAINING YOUR COLLIE</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c800000000.gif" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">THE OLDER COLLIE</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c800000000.gif" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">QUESTION AND ANSWER</div> <div> <I><B><U><IMG SRC="24428280.gif" border=0 width="40" height="40" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></b></I> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000099" FACE="Arial" >Have an idea for a page to add?
