About your pet
Hi! My name is Heather Grant. My family adopted sweet baby Jade in 2008. She was a rescue dog from a bad situation, our vet guessed she was 2 years old as she had a litter of puppies. I was 5 at the time and my siblings were 3 and 9.
Oh how we adored Jade. We aren't sure if it was because she came from such a bad situation or it was just her nature but she was so happy to be with us and let us love her to pieces! But she wasn't just our pet, Jade was a working dog! Our father is the Superintendent at the Lethbridge Country Club where geese can be a menace and not appreciated by golfers. So Jade being a border collie loved to run and have a job to do! So she chased the geese away and kept a very watchful eye on the course for any other wildlife. She mingled with deer, beavers, rattlesnakes and coyotes!
But never got injured. Jade went to work every day with my Dad until she could no longer run, by that time she was 14! Our family had adopted another border collie to carry on Jade's work, a sweetheart named Rosy. Jade enjoyed a well deserved retirement full of cuddles and treats for an additional 2 years until she passed away at age 16.
Princess Jade was truly an exceptional dog and we miss her every day.
