11/6/23:  I am a smooth collie fellow about 2 to 3 years old.  I am a bit skinny and need to gain some weight.  Levitt and I were picked up by the animal shelter just wondering around as strays.  We both did have an embedded prong collar in our neck and thankfully that has been removed.  The shelter folks think we were probably tied outside all the time.  Clearly no one check to see how tight our collars were.  Anyway, it is a blessing to be here at the rescue living a life we never knew existed.  So many new things to learn about like being in the house and freedom to run around the fenced in yard.  I’m a bit of a shy kind of guy and hopefully I will come out of that as I learn about the good life.
