Lightning's Homecoming

So how did we get Lightning you asked?

Well, it all started way back in August 2011, when Pets Paradise advertised that they have border collies to sell.  I didn't take much notice until my sister decided that she wanted to get a dog with her husband.  I mentioned that border collies are now available in Kuching.  Well she got excited, so I enquired with Pets Paradise and they gave me a contact number, which I never called.  The idea of getting a new dog was... impossible.

2 months down the road, we lost one of our goldies, Cookie.  He ran out and was never seen by us again.  Feeling the hole in my heart, I started posting up lost signs around the WWW.  I kept coming across the ad for border collies for sale in Kuching so I decided to enquire more.  I SMS'ed the number given and said that if the owner had a black and white male border collie for sale, please keep me informed.  Well, I got an immediate response saying that they had a wheaten & white male border collie, would I want him?  I wasn't really keen on a wheaten & white border collie.. I mean.. aren't they famed for being black & white??  The owner was persistent and started sending me pictures of him.  He stole my heart from that first picture.

Please take me home....

Isn't he just that adorable?  Who wouldn't take him home?  So I had to make a deal with my parents to get him.  3 months of yoga every 2nd day and Lightning comes home with me... well.. had to think about that for a bit :P  Just kidding.  DEAL!


So 3 days after enquiring about Lightning, he came home with me.  A little scared of the car ride (or maybe my driving?) but he settled well at home.  Yes, Lightning is finally home.
