This beautiful girl is a 10-year-old Golden Retriever/Collie mix. Falon came from a loving family who had to relocate and were unable to take her with them. She was in boarding for a short time, so when she arrived, I could tell she was glad to be here. When she came into my house, we connected right away. I took these pictures and she was already smiling, wanted me to rub her tummy. I have a cat and Falon is learning to keep her distance. It's only a matter of teaching her and reinforcing that because I think that she's never been around a cat before. She has run of the house. I left them alone in the house for a couple hours yesterday and nothing happened. She's smart, obedient and she knows commands. Falon is very affectionate and mellow. I get a lot of kisses from her. All I can say is that I already love her. She's house trained, sleeps all night on the floor by my bed. She seems perfectly healthy, but there were no medical records with her. I will get her in to see the vet within the next week.

She loves her walks. That's good because it gets me out on them. Not too long, though. Sometimes a mile or more. We especially like to walk around the lake and she isn't afraid of the water. Falon is pretty good on the leash. She sleeps in the living room by the front door. I feel very safe having her around. A good eater, not a counter surfer. I really enjoy her company a lot. The cat doesn't mind her either. I like how she doesn't mind being alone outside. When I check I'll see that she's just laying in the grass looking at everything. I wonder what she thinks about?

The vet put her on Rimadyl to treat arthritis in her hips and Fluoxeting capsules to treat some anxiety she was having. I think this treatment plan is working out really good for her. She is a very nice dog.
